- IDiam._ devvJan 1, 20265.0Amelia is the best here at this location!!! Always good coming here
- FMFaustino MartinezDec 26, 20252.0Pump really bad. Hard to see store from the highway. Not much space. Card reader inside store has you paranoid about using the card. Don't forget people in need of extra change outside. This place is a real "find". The staff is good. Come enjoy the show!
- MSMark Anthony SerranoDec 20, 20255.0Very Beautiful attendant AMELIA, is the BEST in the WEST. The most BEAUTIFUL, KINDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD. This place wouldn't be the same without her. Value her or else, she'll be gone.
- WJWm. JacksonNov 26, 20252.0Rv driver here. Waited almost 30 minutes for an associate to come out to the propane fill station. The fuel desk attendents kept saying "someone will be out in a couple of minutes." Finally drove away as no one showed up. Also the rv dump station is on the auto fueling portion of the truck stop. We have a 26 foot trailer and barely were able to access it as it is tight quarters. Forget it if you have a large trailer or big motor home.
