    Clean, modern place to fuel up for your vehicle, yourself, and your traveling companions. Clean restrooms, friendly staff. Lots of dining options to include in-house Subway and McDonalds restaurants and Pilot-staff served meals with lots of options to choose from fried chicken, corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, chicken sandwiches, and pizza by the slice.

    One of the reasons I stop here is because of the clean restrooms. Another is the on-site McDonald's. The gas is fairly priced, and the station is a good time away from the highway. There is a truck stop, and plenty of diesel. People also fill their boats here! This is totally a good place to stop if you are traveling through the area via I94.
