- BRBob roth4 days ago4.0Nice people and clean place, small store that doesn't have alot of healthy choices
- JCJuan CastilloDec 18, 20255.0Workers here are friendly, is just 2 showers so, be sure you have time to wait. But at the end will be a clean shower
- ASAndy SpechtDec 4, 20252.0I’ve been here since Monday afternoon waiting on my load to be ready. It’s now Thursday. Wednesday morning is the only time I was able to get Pilot coffee. The rest of the time when I checked the Pilot coffee was empty leaving us only the nasty swill Dunkin Coffee. How in the world are the coffee thermoses empty in a truck stop in the morning? The employees are completely indifferent to anything other than snacking and gossiping on the morning shift. At least the showers and bathrooms are kept clean and everything on the fuel island works.
