- JSJared Siglin6 days ago4.0I will start off with complete disagreement with pilots paying for parking and it being so many spots. So really don’t like that. But this store is clean and well taken care of and the Sunday afternoon/ evening guy and gale are super nice and care. So that’s a huge plus. Definitely the best spot in town and we are usually Loves people all day. This pilot is where it’s at and Loves here isn’t
- SBScott BondApr 11, 20261.0Normally pilots are my go to stop. Pulled in 6am for driver swap. No restaurants of any kind, no hot dogs, no fresh food of any kind. They don't even have the frozen coffee machine. At this point even loves is better
- MEMichael ErwinMar 19, 20261.0They could do way better than this.
- AAAmberMar 11, 20263.0Clean showers, no food
- FFfeisaloneJan 19, 20265.0LOVE'S leads this garbage will follow them in two years. I STOPPED buying anything from pilot only coffee if i got lazy. please dont give them your business they are nasty and have the audacity to make all the parking (95%-98%) paid parking, unless you have shares with pilot. sharp curve coming into fuel islands, filthy fueling area please put on a couple of plastic booties to keep you from bringing their filth in your truck. the reason i brought loves up is they are doing away with reserved parking so finally spoke loudly for drivers and just like TA &PETRO REFUSED to improve their services in repairs LOVES took advantage of the markey available to them. So keep on sleeping pilot.
