“After a military career, my husband decided to retire and work as a CDL driver. With our kids grown and military life instilling in me, us, insatiable wanderlust, I joined him OTR full-time. In four years, surely our truck stop visits number well over 1.000. Carol, the general manager of this store, whom I met because she's hustling everywhere greasing a well-operating machine, is outstanding. We spent the day in Alonton waiting to T-call, then deliver. Up with the sun, walking a dog, I observed lush grass with no muddy ruts. Well-maintained and clean garbage cans with zero clutter. No debris gathered in parking lot hidey holes. Even concrete and painted curbs. No odd water or greasy patches. I noted, during numerous trips inside, start and end use date labels on condiment bottles. A hustling staff, each one greeting me upon entry. Enough staff so, as a customer, I don't presume corporate greed squeezing a few poorly paid people dry at customer service expense. As we did laundry and relaxed in the lounge, I asked a passing staff member if we could change the channel and a locked closet in the room was opened, a channel decided, then the remote locked up. No waiting for someone to come with it or trading a license for the privilege. I reported a maybe, probably not plumbing issue to a janitor, and he said he'd report it right away. I observed GM Carol interacting with the public and employees. She was respected by staff, and treated them with respect. She commanded respect without demanding it. She got mine as I listened to her interview three job candidates quickly, efficiently compassionately in the clean, comfortable truckers lounge. I watched her pipe icicg when help was needed, open a drawer and start ringing sales to alleviate a huge rush. Our hot deli items were fresh, properly cooked and properly kept on the line. As a former Army food service sergeant, I know a high-quality food service operation when I see one. GM Carol oversees one. Most of all, I could tell she understands the role truck stops play in our lives, respects the work truckers do and given the various populations that are in and out of her Flying J Travel Center, does her job with pleasant assertiveness tempered by sensitivity. Give her a raise and use her store and management style as a best practices example. Oh yeah, and she liked my dog and let her staff meet and greet our beloved trucker dog. ?”

“Oh my goodness I’m so glad I read the reviews tried it - I would’ve never seen this place off the street and thought “yes” but YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT A SHOT. 10/10 would recommend. It’s hot and fresh. The seasoning on the fish is perfect. They also sell Natalie’s cake slices! I’ll definitely be back.”

“The guys that work night they are all very nice and helpful. The food is ok the buns on the sandwiches not good they r always hard on the bottoms that's from leaving them under the lights all day because they only make them once a day and that's at 9:00 am every morning. The food is going down hill fast. Larry's a pretty good cook he does keep the chicken fresh. He don't mind helping customers when needed. Hated to see Lisa go she always made me laugh and smile.”

“Beautifully very well maintained gas station. The location is central into the area in place of Granite city that is well kept it is actually one of the best cleaned and maintained quick trips in the area with a perfect experience in customer service. It is across from the hospital located centrally by the other areas of fast food; a subway, rally’s, and a McDonald’s. There are parks across the street and down the street, this is a QuikTrip located in downtown Granite city in the up-and-coming arts District and the customer service provided is perfect the kitchen has cooked to order delicacies, croissants, breakfast or pizza/lunch. As well as pastries with specialty coffees and Espresso of every variety possible! Safe place, as it’s a police sub station I believe most are and sits by the police stations as well!”

“Been coming here for many years, really love this place! Small store, but jam-packed full of products. Anytime I’m in the area I stop in, and I usually find something new to try.Good little produce section (today I got some tiny guavas and they always have watercress!).Authentic Nepalese products in the “back room”, but all kinds of other international foods that you won’t necessarily find anywhere else throughout the store.Good prices and always clean and bright. Customer service from everyone is great - I love the owner, he’s always nice and helpful.They do have a small parking lot, but I suggest parking on the street. Doesn’t look like much from the road, but you’ll be glad you’ve gone in!”

“Ms. Cindy is the only reason why I go there during the day. She is very hardworking but the night shift is most definitely different and lazy. Pick a time when you are going to close up and run to the window. I'm sure 9 pm is way too early. Do better”

“It's a gas station. No complaints, it's clean and as expected. Bathrooms can use a little cleaning but I don't fault the employees. I fault the nasty individual who leaves public restrooms in a mess like they own the place”
