This store has stayed clean on my stops for a few months. Staff remains pretty friendly, genuinely, not forced.
Coffee is fresh. It’s pilot/flying j y’all. For what it is this is a gem on the 57 corridor

Laziest management ever. They never fix or order a new machine to put milk so customers can use the milk for their coffee. I asked them many times if they’re willing to put milk there so customers who like milk in their coffee can appreciate it. I don’t like half and half.

Definitely pay attention to your pumps here. They have several E15 only pumps. Millions of vehicles, including mine, can’t even run this much ethanol. The pumps are not clearly marked until you pull up to the button. When I got to a pump with normal gas, it was a pain to get it to work at all. And when it did, the gas price instantly shot up 5¢ after accepting my card. Frustrating and misleading overall experience.
