“Can't remember exactly what 76 station I stopped at today but I can't remember anything to make me complain about the joint so I'll go ahead and send out a five also 76 always seems to be a little less on the busy side if you're in a hurry probably cuz you're a little bit pricier on average I know a couple 76 stations that are cheap basically if you're in Hubbard Oregon you're going to pay a lot less for gas than you are going to pay in Portland for an example Portland it's going to get you might as well put your hands in the air!”

“Lots of parking for a tired over-the-road driver in an area with few good options. Diner, and bar and grill both have very good food and staff that are professional and friendly. I'm guessing that local folks come here quite a bit for live music and food. Fuel and DEF lanes easy in and out. Store has all the essentials; service bays onsite and Blue Beacon adjacent. I stop here when I'm in the area and would come here even if I weren't driving.”

“I always stop here when traveling south on I-5 on my way home from Portland. They now have organic coffee, which is awesome. The pizza is acceptable, but I really do wish they had a vegetarian pizza, like one with mushroom, olives and green pepper.”

“Great food/ store selection, truck stop amenities are a bit pricey but top notch: clean nice bathroom, clean nice showers (they're like twenty bucks but you can book two hours if you really need s goodomg shower while traveling), clean nice laundry room, plenty of parking. They even have those massager chairs in the malls/ gyms and an Amazon locker pick up. Gas is generally the same price as the other in Aurora, which both are better than Brooks and next closest in Willsonville Miss the restaraunt though.”
