Truckers, this is a treat to get to park here. It's small so I was pleasantly surprised to find parking for a full reset. It's great because there are a ton of restaurants all around to pick from. I started with KFC, which was a short walk, a long with a Mexican place, a burger king, McDonald's, a dinner, a Popeye's, and more I think. It's just nice to have choices and outside of all the norms that come with standard truck stops .. of yeah there is a subway here too. If I find interesting shopping 🛍️ or some hiking trails I'll come back and update this review. Oh. But did I mention that both my husband and I loved the KFC. Making statements like, maybe the best KFC ever. I got the waffle combo with drumsticks, and added the cherry pie poppers. It was all good, the waffle was so good by itself I did not add the butter sauce. Don't worry I will find a way to use it. We both got the crispy instead of the original, cause we like our chicken cooked, and it was perfect. They keep it in a closed case too. That was nice. I did go into the Mexican place too. But it was close to closing and the whole place reeked of bleach water, and I looked back in the kitchen he was mopping and the only other guy working was mopping... So I was like. No way I want food under these circumstances, and thankfully moved onto the KFC. I may give the fast food Mexican place a daytime try, the carne asada fries and the big taco which I think is just a torta looked good on the menu, do we'll see .. the photo is the Mexican place om my brief...

Went in to do an EFS check and the assistant manager she was so rude. And having a conversation with another employee about another employee about how she was going to drop her as soon as she see’s her. But regardless of her conversation she made me feel like I was an inconvenience with my transaction. Rolling her eyes and so fourth. Hope she has...

It's a truck stop. It has what you need. The older woman working there that has short grey hair is VERY rude though. If I see her working I'm not coming back in. Someone needs to tell her that MANNERS are pretty important if you're working...
