“Old-time truck stop. Large dirt parking area. Like others have said the parking lot is a little rough, but just go slow and pay attention and you’ll be fine. Don’t park like an idiot- remember it’s not just you out here. Showers are good. Older but clean and the water is hot. Nice place to stop for a snooze. And remember, there are trash cans so use them- pretty bad some of you drivers (steering wheel attendants) need to be told that.”

“Don't judge a book by its cover! Almost didn't even go inside but was very pleased to find a clean restroom and really good food. I had the fried shrimp, green beans and sweet corn. The gem beans were a bit sportier than I prefer but I finished most of it and downed the corn and shrimp. I found the employees very friendly.”
