“We arrived at our site at the campground minus an entire wheel on our camper!! We spoke with Bobby and he called several tire trailer places to find one willing to help us. We went to Trailer Mart in Cave City and got squared away. A Big THANK YOU to Bobby for his very much appreciated help and kindness. Nice to have good people working at the Camp Store.”
“Okay so I've only been a professional truck driver for about 5 months now, with that being said, I have been to at least at the very least 15 different TAs. This one has The absolute CLEANEST showers I've seen!!!! I'm not going to lie maybe even out of all the entire truck stops in general that I've been to most the time. I just get the heebie-jeebies and want to get out of there as fast as I can but this one was real homey like clean and it had a shower curtain and the interior was like my bathroom as far as the shower wall goes, it's hard to explain but something about showering in the ones that are made out of brick or tile all the way around just doesn't do it for me... The first thing I said whenever I walked in the shower room to myself was OMG it smells GOOD! Friendly staff, HUGE parking lot (that actually has free spaces, unlike what I've been getting tricked into being so-called free spaces up in the Northeast). THANK YOU ILL SLEEP WELL #femaleTrucker”
“I like this store for a lot of reason. First of all the people working this store are very nice. The main reason I travel to this store which is a hour away is because of all the fresh spices. There is to many to to subscribe here. But I will say the chili power is so fresh that it is stronger than I can buy at a store. They have fabric to sandwiches. And the jam is great. I do like their sour cherry. If your around this place you need to stop, you will not be sorry.”
“Ordered a vintage hubcap to replace one that was lost. Price was better than any other I could find. It also came quickly and was packaged really well so it wouldn’t get damaged in shipping.”
“Website says 24 hours, but that is only the gas pumps. The inside of the store is not. Edited: tried calling and someone picked up an ask they said, is we're closed. Would be nice to know when the store hours are. Maybe the owner can reply with an answer.”
“No complaints. Friend and I are on a roadtrip. Stopped here for a quick fill up around 10:30pm. Saw one of the workers coming outside with a broom and a dustpan. Well lit and clean. The bathrooms are clean. No paper towels but the hand dryer dries quick. Staff was very friendly.”
“Five-star is a legend. I know the bucees nearby is famous and whatnot, but this gas station is magic. I worked at a fireworks tent across the street for three weeks, and I met every single one of their employees, and every one of them was fabulous. Not to mention the always clean and well stocked bathrooms, well stocked food and drinks (aside from the pineapple Fanta that is... they kept running out...) but in every other way, this is the best gas station around. I would do the 1.5-hour commute daily just to get gas from here if I had the time. Lovely place.”
“Now TA. Very clean and plenty of parking. No More Middle Eastern Mayhem at midnight. I feared having to stay here in the past. Now it's quiet and very clean”
“If your in need of groceries well in the area or staying at jellystone this place is solid they have fresh meat and anything else a regular grocery store would have.”
“This Shell has an impressive selection of snacks and drinks. They also have a Schlotsky's if you fancy more than snacks. Their drink machines offer different flavors to put in your sodas. You can make a raspberry or strawberry Pepsi for example. They offer healthy snacks too like bananas, okra and watermelon. They also sell Kentucky souvenirs and collectible TY plush. Excellent place for a break from the road. It's a nice quiet place with ever so friendly staff. They really go out of their way to welcome you.”
“A little heavy on their prices, but I love this store in general. Glad they locked the restrooms and stopped letting everyone in them finally, Louisville and bowling green people are destroying this part of the world”
“Good clean quick store. Grab and go that's about it. All the employees are nice. Cave City needs a regular size grocery store beside the Save-A-Lot. Since this is a tourist town you would think they would try to get a grocery store in here. If you live here and you want anything special or just regular food you have to drive to Glasgow to Walmart.”
“LOVE coming here. I had to get my grilled chicken panini and some chips and almonds along with my Kiwi Strawberry sparkling water. Good to go now as I head to North Canton OH. Body is fueled and now I'm ready to head out. This place is cool, & has all the made to order food and snacks and drinks yiu can think of. Will always visit a Speedway Cafe. BAMA TRUCKER - ROLL TIDE”
