“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!”
“Everyone knows Casey’s pizza is the best pizza in the world. They also have really good chicken and donuts. I like getting hot chocolate in the winter too, it’s delicious. I saw another review about dirty restrooms, but I have never had that issue here. It is one of the cleanest gas station bathrooms I’ve ever used. All of the staff is kind, which is another plus.”
“The convenient store is very nice. It has a large assortment of car items, food, and drink options. The store was clean and organized. They have an ATM inside. We had no issues at the pumps. Nice gas station located right off I70 at the Cloverdale exit.”
“Love going to Casey's! It's very conveniently located on 231 and has so many snacks and food options. They have a reward program and an app that is easy to use. The gas is normally priced less than or equal to other places nearby. You can order food ahead on the app and pick what time you pick it up. The food is fresh and really good!”
“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”
“I stopped in here just to grab a drink and a couple things while working. The lady at the register noticed my name tag from my work uniform and addressed me by name and hooked me with her customer service fr rhe word go. Awesome place. Very friendly, decent prices, clean place. Will stop here often. Recommend when going through”
“This is the last gas station selling Shell branded fuel in the area. I've had zero problems at this location. The gas pumps quickly, or at normal rate of speed, each time i visit. My credit card is always charged the correct amount and the correct number of times. It is a good gas station. The employees are always professional.”
“Great place with great values. And prices that give you nostalgia. I drove across the entire US and this diner stood out the most. Food is homemade diner classics. Don't skip this one.”

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.
