“Clean, good food and friendly service! Helpful when I needed assist. Thank you to the staff for working Holidays, nights, evenings and the very stressful day shift!”
“(Translated by Google) In these gas stations, the chicken is very tasty, very good flavor, you must try it and the young man who is there is very kind...(Original)En estas gasolinera bende pollo esta muy rico muy buen sabor debes probarlo y en joven que esta ahi es muy amable...”
“Godfather's pizza and Cluck's fried chicken available here, but it's best when it's fresh. Other than that it's a decent convenience store with the normal products you'd expect to find.”
“I do not understand the bad reviews for this gas station. The workers are polite and efficient. The best part about this place though is the delicious fresh potato wedges. They are the best potato wedges I have ever had. They are real potatoes, not that processed stuff, and they have a delicious crispy breading on the outside. The potato itself is soft and fluffy. You have a choice of sauces, ranch, BBQ or Honey mustard. Today, I tried the catfish fillet as well. The breading was spicy and crunchy and the catfish was flavorful and moist. My fiancé tried the chicken tenders and said they were very tasty. This is a gas station, so you do need to look to see how long the food has been in the case, but every time we have gotten the potato logs, they have been fresh.I have not been in the bathroom so I can't speak to it's cleanliness. I haven't heard anyone yelling. It doesn't appear to be less clean than any other gas station.”
“The new manager that took charge of the store recently has turned it around big time! Employees are friendlier and of a higher grade than before, the store is always clean and stocked well and there’s always fresh food to choose from when I stop in.”

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.
