- WMWayne MartinOct 3, 20255.0Flying Just are very good travel centers to stop at.
- BKBrian Video KingSep 19, 20251.0This used to be a great place to stop but not anymore. The fuel pumps need to be replaced. They either don't read your credit card or the pump keeps shutting off when you are trying to fuel. I am very unhappy with this location and I will probably stop going there to get my fuel.
