“Listen, I rolled into the Flying J at 3:17 AM because my 'Check Engine' light was flickering to the beat of my heart and I needed to stabilize the situation. This place is basically the Taj Mahal of the interstate.
I walked inside and the lights were SO BRIGHT. I felt like I was being abducted, but in a good way. I headed straight for the roller grill because I saw a Buffalo Chicken Tornado spinning there that looked like it had been aging since the Obama administration. I ate three of them before I even got to the counter. The flavor profile? Pure survival.
I asked the cashier if I could use the 'Professional Driver' lounge to take a nap because I hauled a washing machine across town in my hatchback earlier, so I’m basically a trucker. She said no. She said I needed a CDL. I told her, 'Sweetheart, out in the Ranchos, a CDL is just a piece of paper. Experience is the real license.' She threatened to call the cops, which I respect. She’s got boundaries.
Five stars because the bathroom was clean enough to see my own reflection (which was terrifying) and they sell those 5-Hour Energy shots that I like to mix with my Mountain Dew to help me see through time.
Pro Tip: If you stand by the diesel pumps long enough, the fumes really clear your sinuses. Also, don't try to weigh your truck on the CAT scale if it's just a Honda with the doors taken off. They get mad.”
“Sign 8 miles out says Indian food and chicken. Unfortunately only has chicken. Chicken was good, selection of sides was non-existant. Bathrooms while clearly dated and in need of some love, were clean. Rest of the store has a good selection of road trip items.”
“An abundance of gas pumps here as well as an Ev charger. . Easy ob/off i80, bathrooms are clean, as all Pilot’ Travel Centers.
There is a casino by the front door. So be ready for the stale smoke smell.”
“All of the regular gas was unavailable.. which bothers me however I used supreme.... I spent 15 dollars on gas .. but the bathroom was clean decent.. the Man had a clean organized store.. and he was alright..But it is unfortunate gas prices are so sky high”
“Diesel was $.50 cheaper here than at the truck stops off the highway - well worth driving the extra 4 blocks or so! I think the store has been recently updated, it was clean and new looking, good selection of drinks and foods.”
“The staff is very cooperative especially (Harry) he has very good communication skills. Once i face a problem with gas he helped me alot. He should definitely get appraisal”

Gas Stations
“It's a run down old gas station but the owner is a committee man who loves to put out a helping hand. It's no longer a running gas station but he leave the light on for all those tiers truckers who need a hot free shower and a place to park for the night. It doesn't look like much of a place but the owner is more than meets the eye. The showers are always clean and the water is always hot. And for free you just can't beat that especially if you are a trucker and have just driven 12 hours, there's not a better place you can park and feel safe and know there's someone looking out for you.”
“MAVERICK seldom disappoints. This one is tucked away on Hanson and Haskel. Plenty of pumps and plenty of space, even for an RV and toad. Room to drive the RV all the way around building if need be. Clean. Friendly. Many food and snack choices. I am obsessed with the FRENCH TOAST TORNADO, they were already sold out, get there early morning to pick one up!”
