- JKJoseph Keefe5 days ago5.0Best, cleanest rest stop within 100 miles.
- AAAlexJul 19, 20261.0Place was good, but my fiance had a swollen ankle from an accident, he had to sit down and eat. The security came up at told us to leave and to go to the car. I would have understood if there was a no loitering sign, but there was non.
- KKKentJul 13, 20265.0Gas prices- beats most others around. Clean, multiple food opens. Well laid out. Easy for kids.
- BBB.S.A.Jul 8, 20261.0The dirtiest restroom of any pilot gas station I've ever seen. It seems like no one has cleaned the toilets there since the business opened.
- CSCee SumoneJul 2, 20265.0This is the best spot to take a break if you’re tired of driving. There is plenty to look at in the store to relax your eyes from all the driving. Plenty of refreshments, sandwiches, and the usual processed foods in bags. The restrooms are always very, very clean. The people greet you when you enter and are very kind as you check out. Oh, and they sell gas.
