“QuikTrip is the only place where I can go in for a fountain drink and somehow leave with snacks, a hot dog, a breakfast pizza, and a life plan I didn't know I needed. The stores are always clean, the staff moves faster than a NASCAR pit crew, and somehow there's always exactly what I'm looking for. At this point, QuikTrip isn't a gas station, it's a lifestyle. Five stars for fueling both my vehicle and my bad impulse-buying habits.”
“Good morning and Happy Friday to all the wonderful, helpful people running this Petro truck stop. They do have Wendy's and DQ, separately operated. Andrea and her staff are just fantastically dog happy! Guaranteed hugs and treats. Thank you for providing a safe clean parking structure, a hot, clean shower, large laundry facility and morning doggie treats and hugs. You guys are the BEST! Me and Boss Hogg will be back every week!”
“I have had multiple services performed at this location over the last 5 months, and every time I leave as a happy customer. They have handled brakes, airbags, leaking hoses, oil changes/PM services, and alignment issues for me. Every single task was performed exceptionally well, and I’ve had zero issues after leaving the shop. They can get very busy at times, but the wait is well worth it. Once your truck is in a bay, the mechanics stay locked into the task, unlike other service centers I’ve been to. The technicians are highly knowledgeable, always answering my random truck questions and giving me a heads-up on potential future issues. I highly recommend this shop if you are in the area; they have helped me out tremendously. I especially want to give praise to one of my favorite mechanics on the night shift, Mr. Ryan. He is a valuable asset to this shop, and every time he works on my truck, I know it's in good hands. Thank you, Ryan, and the entire TA Truck Service staff!”

“We had to bring the truck in for filters. They were really quick and friendly & we were on our way in no time. The clerks in the store were even funny and nice!”
“I stopped here for fuel. Really good fuel prices on ES advantage. Be sure to go to my YouTube channel and look up my videos about ES advantage. I pulled in no waiting right up to the pump for fuel. Quick stop I was in and out and maybe 15 minutes. They have a Popeye's restaurant if you're interested.”
“A Very Nice Travel Center. Top notch Driver Lounge. Great Customer Service at Counter. A large selection of what Truck Drivers need or want items. Laundry Area was clean and washers/Dryers work. I definitely will make this my layover stop.”
“Love Walgreens! The employees are super nice. We had a really nice man whom needs to be employee of the year! Just great service, clean store, sales are worth it!!”
“I'm not sure of her name but there is one gal who has been there 3 times now when I have went late for pizza and other things who worked in kitchen closing and I just wanted to say she has been so kind respectful funny food has been amazing and she was even helpful with other things I was asking about . But honestly their morning crew ladies are great to so kind and polite and funny good wraps and just enjoy them all. I think it's the best kitchen staff they have had back there in a very long time. Cashiers are also great but irs been harder to see a great kitchen staff until now.”
