- TWTammie WhiteNov 6, 20255.0A clean and very nice store. They had a wide variety of ready to eat food, snacks along with drinks. The restrooms were clean as well. They offer showers, tv watching room as well as a few washers & dryers. The store had a Denny's restaurant with it.
- BDBilly DeeNov 3, 20251.0As a truck driver this is the worst Flying J Pilot I have ever been too. And I have been to almost all 50 states. The water for the shower does not work. The bathroom does not work. The diesel fuel comes out extremely slow. I will not waste another dollar here. Everyone keep on trucking 🚚 till you find another place to stop. Management is not doing there job and does not care.
- ESEric SmithNov 1, 20251.0Terrible, one diesel pump broken, too busy to serve food out of hot box, no paper towels in bathroom, can’t get cash advance
- CLCrystal LeeOct 30, 20251.0I had to go to FlyingJ after leaving Sonic in Merkel due to the reported harassment from being related to domestic violence abusers and racist. Everyone was welcoming , kind , I was given a meal and a shower at Denny's. Then the same people found me in their fake uniforms and had me leave before any human trafficking/domestic violence person was able to get to me . Management should know laws on this type of thing and not have their fake security trying to disgrace or cause a scene not knowing what's going on. In fact the one with snaggle teeth had the audacity to say NO ONE IS GONNA HELP move along up the road. I can identify all of them . Thank the Denny's employees and the few who actually understand .
- DSDavid SmithSep 13, 20255.0Alhamdulilah ( All praise be to Allah) this Pilot is truly a blessing to the Muslim, they have plenty of space to offer the salah, and if you don’t have a rug to pray on the Worker named Derrick will give you a towel.. this man is kind and understanding, and very professional, the lady’s at the counter are very professional and one of them offered to redo my order when I mentioned that the food can get cold when opened too many times.. my encounter was pleasant and good.. thank you pilot.
