“I really like this place. Fair prices for store bought items. Short walk to the casino (which is pretty nice for a smaller venue). Excellent breakfast in the truck stop and great steaks in the resort restaurant. I almost hate to post this and give away my secret spot. Not a huge truck parking lot but I always find a spot here easily. One of my faves and I run coast to coast. Bonus…the people are really nice.”

“Place was clean and smelled like bleach. Bonus for that! Used the washer and dryer, but after washing figured out the dryer wasn’t working. The guy working the register let me use the staff dryer to dry our clothes so we didn’t have to move to Pilot. He was the only one working and handled the store very well. I saw him cleaning between customers. Very nice place. Also plenty of parking still late at night.”

“This exit consistently has the cheapest gas outside of OKC, if you are traveling on 35. There are several gas stations here, and the Pilot is where I always stop. It is the first station on the right, if you are heading south. They have plenty of pumps, are open 24 hours and their bathrooms are CLEAN. They have a good selection of snacks and it is easy to get in and out.”

“Keaton is always so nice and he’s happy to deal with customers. I don’t think he deserves to be yelled at by the older community just because he asked to see their ID for certain items.”

“They have several restaurants including an A&W and a Papa John's. The A&W even has a drive-thru. This Trading Post has plenty of gas pumps. There are also cool truck-stop-py thinks like animal backpacks and outerwear and vapes. In other words, they are a normal trick stop / convenience store. Oh, and the bathrooms were clesn”

“This is just before you get on or off the highway. There are clean little restrooms, as well as plenty of little gadgets and touristy souvenirs to buy. There is fast food available, and gas too. Nice little quick stop, with many amenities.”

“This place is clean, bright and well organized and best of all, they have the most helpful staff. Nolan went above and beyond by waiting for me when I forgot my shower shoes in my truck and he gave me extra towels and was just so pleasant. The showers are clean and big too.”

“I think his name is spelled Ishmael. I stopped there to get my tire fixed, and this young man stopped what he was working on and got me back on the road in 10 min. I appreciate your willingness to help others on short notice. A little kindness goes a long way. Thank you again.”
