“Nice little mom and pop truck stop. Ample parking, albeit a dirt parking lot. Relatively large store, with an ok merchandise selection, some slot machines, showers, break room for drivers and a delicious restaurant. I would have to say the highlight of my visits is Nicky, the cashier. She is one of the most genuine and friendly people you could ever hope to meet. I have literally stood in line behind other customers and have watched Nicky make every one of them smile and laugh. (That's rare these days.) I have ALWAYS received friendly service at the Woodhull Travel Plaza, but Nicky is over the top and beyond a shadow of a doubt an exceptional person. Keep being you young lady, this life WILL take you places. Some trucker dude”

Very clean also especially with how busy this location is being next to the interstate, hospital, and Wal-Mart Super Center.”

"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.
