- MTMalic TheDemon3 days ago5.0Honestly, this gas station is one of my favorite stops. It’s always clean, the coffee’s decent, and the crew working here is top-tier. Big shoutout to the staff I always see working —their always hustling. Whether it’s stocking shelves, cleaning up, or helping customers, their constantly on the move and still manage to be super friendly. You can tell they work hard and actually care. Melissa and Nadalie are great—super chill and always up for a quick chat while you’re grabbing snacks. Will keeps things running smooth out at the pumps, and Ray’s the guy who somehow knows everyone’s name. It’s just a solid team all around. If you’re looking for a gas station that’s more than just a pit stop, this is the one. Good vibes, and good people Honorable mentions to all mangers too, always happy to help
- RARichard Anthony5 days ago1.011-18-2025 about 3 AM. I was getting fuel after getting fuel. I was approached by the security guard. I asked him what happened. He did not say anything but he proceed. Take pictures of my truck and license plate number. I went inside to complain to the store manager, the store manager did not care Security guard start getting hostile telling me he’s gonna tow my truck from the gas pump. Tell me I’m trespassed from their facility in the most disrespectful way, I am a paid customer for over six years I own my own truck and trailer. I spent thousands of dollars every week at flying J and these are the type of people pilot have to represent their company. I file a complaint and I’m waiting back to hear from the company. I want them to watch the footage and listen to the body cam of who represented their company.
- SWScott WooldridgeNov 16, 20251.0Either informed the reserved parking, or get rid of it. Every spot in this lot is full and there are still 28 reserved showing on the app.
- QHQueen Gaila Jo HertzNov 16, 20251.0The staff is rude hateful the coffee area is always nasty dirty. And the staff is just standing around doing nothing.
- THTerri HadleyNov 6, 20253.0The showers had crud and crumbs on the stall floor. The counters around the coffee area were dirty from sugar and spills left there. I understand that happens but there were quite a few staff members there and it was not busy at the time. One staff was busy working on cleaning the bathrooms while the other 2-3 staff were busy chatting and flirting with the security. I witnessed and heard this all while waiting for someone to refill the chilled creamer. I find it very unprofessional and disgusting that staff and security flirt like that while on the job and in front of customers.
