- KBKaren C B4 days ago3.0The parking lot is a maze and needs clear arrows painted
- CPCarl PeeplesMay 11, 20263.0This lady in her truck is having trouble finding parking cause the middle section doesn't have lines to divide the parking spaces. Majority of the truck on that row in backed in two far. Leaving only enough space for a box truck or bobtail to park. I feel sorry for that lady if she almost about to run out of hours. Pilot please take action. People don't have common sense without lines. They think it's one truck per slot.
- FLFirst LastMay 10, 20263.0Fills up at night Good fuel prices Always has a shower available Old building Subway closed Pilot is getting more artificial and preserved and old. Not much natural food.
- MPMelody PoorMay 9, 20265.05/9/26 2:45 p.m. One of the better Pilot’s I’ve been to in awhile. Restrooms were clean & the clerk was great. I wish I got his name to give him a shoutout. He was super friendly!
- FFFearenHydeMay 3, 20264.0The staff are sooo nice. But I can't overlook mostly blind side RESERVE parking and no food options (I don't count that off the shelf stuff it's inedible). It breaks my heart but I can't give it more than 4 stars.
