“Friendly clerk. The bathroom is outside at the end of the building around the corner and has a lock. That wasn't exactly the best experience if you need to use it quickly. But was glad to have the option.”
“We stop here every time we go thru Vernonia. They have really good chicken in their hot deli section and other items as well. They even sell bait here for fishing people.”
“Prices are competitive, usually better than surrounding area. Only reason for four stars is the fact that if you prepay with some debit cards like direct Express, you have to get any change from the booth as it won't just take what was used out.”
“Pleasant staff, reasonable price of fuel, and the convenience store prices are the same as the grocery store 1 block down. That's the ethical thing to do. Thanks!”
“Everything all in one in place. Best of all is the Way back burger restaurant. It’s inside the Chevron. We have always enjoyed our meals here. Especially the onion rings and the veggie burgers.”
“They are very reasonably priced and they don't lock you out @ 1st of month you have 10 Grace before you pay late,few and they will work with you if you get behind but make sure you keep all canceled checks don't use money orders (unless you want to pay for tracing/tracking that you paid on time and that usaly cost about the same as a monthly pymt which seems fishery to me”
“The cleanest ladies room in an Arco I have ever seen. People were friendly and the Arco was clean! Thanks guys, these road-trippin hippies appreciate the efforts!”
“This place is great!! It's a gas station/ market. But also has 5 different restaurants in it (Waybavk burger, gyro, A Skippers, Pizza Hut, and burrito bowl). And lots of places to seat and eat. Staff was very friendly. The place is clean and organized. And the restrooms are well maintained.”
“They wont sell your minor cigarettes for sure. And better bring your ID if you expect to get cigarettes or alcohol. Otherwise they got some cool staff. Little Mexican guy works in there at nighttime. I like him he's good guy !”
“This is the only place that my husband and I get gas and stop for coffee. Prices are usually the lowest in town, and the coffee is outstanding. The cashiers all know us by face at this point and are very generous. We have an arco card that we use Each time we go, and it saves us money as well as winning free things.”
“Great little truck stop. They have a hot case and will make to order some things as well. The burgers were great and so were the onion rings. Bathroom was clean and well stocked. They have truck diesel and trucker showers too. I'll definitely be back and you should too!!”
“This place is interesting, run very strangely. Whoever runs it seems to be green or just apathetic. The deli food is actually pretty good but the ordering experience is very inconsistent, which leads to a lot of people getting upset because random items are the expensive ones. I have no idea why 2 corn dogs are $3 and 3 chicken strips are $14. A lot of the items are a landmine like that, all ALL sauces cost 75 cents. Only some items like a burger come with a sauce(the sauces are fresh and good), but they don't advertise which comes with which and the employees there expect you to know hahaha. The $1 for all soda sizes is what keeps me coming back, since I can tolerate their other prices when my daily tea is a buck instead of $5 other places. That, and they do keep the snacks well stocked by their vendor. The parking lot condition is a joke, be careful driving around there. The coffee shop in the parking lot is real good, run by a local I know his son. He keeps that corner nice and tidy unlike the rest of the lot hahaha.”
“This is the best gas station and convenience store ever. Great lunches, hot case, specials, etc. They serve the BEST chicken wings ever! Marinated with no batter.”
“Everyone who has helped me is very nice. It's always been neat & clean. My biggest sadness is that they don't have Hot Deli Food. They do have a Microwave so you can zap something. But it's not the same.”
“The cleanest ladies room in an Arco I have ever seen. People were friendly and the Arco was clean! Thanks guys, these road-trippin hippies appreciate the efforts!”
“Just stopped here to use the bathroom on the way to portland. Bathrooms were very clean. On the way out, we decided to grab some snacks and hot food. We got the jo jo’s with sassy sauce - and it was pleasantly crispy and hot. The guy helping us out was nice too. The perfect level of customer service - quick, friendly and just enough conversation to get you excited for the snack, and finish business to get you back on the road.”
“Convenient location with easy access from I-5. And DEF is available! Use pump 12 & 13. Coffee also available on the same lot. Highly recommend this location.”
“Low prices, friendly staff, nice clean bathrooms! Cash and credit were NOT the same price when I visited though. Card was an additional 15 cents/gallon, but even with that it was still cheaper than all the other stations in town.”
“If I had to rate this Chevron against all others, it’s definitely one of the nicest I’ve been to. Super spacious layout with pumps that are well spread out, making it easy to maneuver even if you’re driving something big. The inside is very clean, well-stocked, and overall just feels more premium than your average gas station. Solid spot—highly recommend if you’re in the area.”
“My boyfriend and I just moved into the area and needed a place to call home. We were referred to this rv park and we couldn't be happier. At first the manager only had a spot available for 2 weeks, but when we arrived said that the spot was open for monthly rent. The people around here are great, very friendly and welcoming. From hearing about how the park used to be it has made a complete 180 with this new management. Maiya is great and she got rid of all the bad that was once in the park. The rv park is right on the river and has a convience store with non ethanol Gas. If you are coming through looking for a place to stay i definitely recommend lewis river rv park.”
“My guy on the week night is always so friendly and quick with the service! He is legit the only reason I have continued to come here for gas every week! I think his name is Jordan? Glasses and works at night. He is awesome! Customer service is off the chain. Give him a raise!! ? the girls inside are great too! Just wish you guys stayed open a little later.”
“one of my favorite gas stations in woodland. The staff is super friendly and they are one of the cheapest stations around town as far as food and beverages and other things go. Their fuel is mid range priced.”

Love'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. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
