“Love this place! Just a mile down the street and their pizza and breadsticks are fire! I wish they had more food options though but other than that it's great!”
“The little dinner here seriously has amazing food! My parents reserved the place for our family Christmas party and everything we ordered wasn't just delicious, it was better than any chain restaurant I can think of. Their onion rings are out of this world amazing, the burger I got was freaking incredible! Their proportions of food is killer as well. Remember the days when you left feeling like you got what you paid for, well here you leave stuffed plus leftovers feeling like you got a steal. This place is so good it almost pains me to leave such a glowing review cuz I don't want it to be crazy crowded the next time I go... but at the end of the day, they deserve it. The owner even came out and made sure everything was good and everyone was happy. Uhh, heck yeah, we're not just happy, we're feeling spoiled at this point! EASILY the BEST restaurant in Owen county hands down. Being from the area I can even say to me it's easily the best place this side of Indiana, PERIOD!”
“There were 7 of us traveling and we stopped to get gas and use restrooms. Sadly paid at the pump didn't see the worker must have been busy but I guess why the place was clean and organized”

Love'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. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
