It's sad when the trucker comes to a truckstop and there's no coffee. And I stayed in the flying J for 45 minutes and still no one made any fresh coffee. No coffee and a pot sit on just a little grinder machine and I don't like that stuff. We run on a clock and we have places to be at certain times it's sad, they need to do better

I made it here right before they took breakfast down to fill my craving for the best biscuits and gravy a trucker can easily access. They still had gravy but no biscuits and I was told by the cashier she didn't think they had anymore biscuits. She was super apologetic about it. Thats when my hero of the day entered. The young lady that was bringing the food out is an absolute angel. I asked her if they possibly had a couple biscuits and she told me there weren't any made, then said she would throw two in the oven for me. Talk about going above and beyond. Everyone that works here is awesome, nice, and great representations of this area. The girl that made my biscuits deserves a raise at the very least.
