“We stopped in last night with the race team and the person behind the counter was so amazing. Very friendly. They were playing 90s pop music which was upbeat (even though I prefer rock bands like Tool). They were open at 10 o’clock at night. They Had tasty corn dogs, ready to go! We just wanted a quick bite of something to eat, and they were ready for us. The counter person helped one of our younger racers with food and a drink. Thank you! Sometimes the nice gestures in life go a long way. Just simply being here and present now is a gift into itself.”

“I believe the cashiers name was Margie or Margerie. She was so nice and she convinced me not to buy 1 cowboy hat but 2 cowboy hats! She was so cool, polite and professional. I thought she was the owner. I was surprised when she told me she was just an employee. If you’re ever passing through they have a lot of cool stuff that you can buy. And they had really good prices. This is a must stop place!”

“Decent place to get gas at the Kettleman City exit. Surprisingly expensive, I didn't check everywhere else around here, but at $5.70/gal Regular 87 octane (March 2024), it was over $1 more than I paid on the coast a day later.”

“...so i keep coming back here because honestly its the most convenient spot on my way to work and they NEVER mess up my order which is a lot for me to say because i have a complicated coffee drink that always gets made wrong other places. the service is always FAST even when there's a line which is rare for this area and the guy at the counter practically knows my name by now since im in there so often. prices are fine but not anything special for the area and the inside could use a deep clean i noticed sticky spots on the counter by the pastry case last week... seriously though the quality is consistent which is all i care about for a grab and go. the one thing i would change is please add a drive through because sometimes i dont wanna park and go inside but otherwise HELPS a lot for mornings.”

“We stopped by around 9:30 p.m. during peak holiday travel, and I have to commend the staff for working hard to restock shelves and keep up with the demand. However, it would be great if the women’s restrooms were more spacious, included a changing table, and were kept cleaner—they felt reminiscent of a portable potty at concert that’s been trashed. One major highlight was the ramen selection and the new frozen smoothie/milkshake mixer. I’d definitely return just for that!”

“I stopped here not because I frequent Chevron but because I had zero gas and at the price is currently at the pump I only wanted 2 gallons. I don’t frequent the higher priced stations since I happen to be a Costco member but this day I was on the other side of town so there you go”

“We always stop here for gas half way down to LA and on the way back. The store is always clean and the restrooms have always been clean when we go inside. The staff is always friendly and helpful also”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains.
