“I give a four because the employees I've dealt with are awesome. I didnt give them a five because the garden salad has cheese. Cheese does not grow in a garden. For people with allergies this could be extremely confusing and deadly.”

“Let me preface this by saying, I didn't expect gas station pizza to be any good to begin with. I'm also used to eating pizza at a pizzeria, freshly reheated. That being said, Tobey's pizza is slightly better than I expected. The sauce is cheap, the cheese is cheap, but they managed to get a nice browning on the cheese. There's a decent spice blend on top and a good salty, garlicky taste to it. The base is pleasantly fluffy. No, the pizza isn't perfect, it's not even that great compared to most of the pizza I eat, but I'm giving Tobey's a decent star rating because they have decent prices, a friendly staff, and a good selection. If I was looking solely at the pizza, it might be closer to a 2-star. But again, that's not their main dish, so I don't think that should drag down the overall rating.”

“Stopped by this gas station to get some lunch and saw that they had Chester’s chicken, I picked up a tender combo and it was delicious. That was the best dagum chicken I have ever had, and don’t even get me started on the biscuits( the best biscuit I have EVER had) I would recommend for any person wanting a quick lunch stop. Can’t wait to see how my toilet likes this one.”

Read the postLove'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.
