- CTCourtney TaylorFeb 23, 20265.0I wanted to take a moment to share such a sweet and positive experience I had at Denny's inside the truck stop. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with genuine kindness and prompt service. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, which truly means a lot when you’re on the road. I mainly interacted with Ms. Joe, who took my to-go order. She was incredibly friendly, relational, and made me feel more like family than just another customer. I truly enjoyed our conversation — her positive spirit and attentiveness stood out. Please extend my appreciation to the entire staff. They took great care of me, and I’m grateful for the hospitality. It made my stop that much more pleasant.
- KBKaitlin BondsNov 24, 20251.0This gas station is always trash! The employees are absolutely rude, particularly the manager today, and the pumps rarely ever work! The gas is probably old and tainted, too!
