“The guys are always spot on with service. The owner should get them a portacool during these hot months. I know he has the money. Stop being so cheap when these guys are making you money while you post up at your house.”
“If you think a truck stop is just a place to pump gas and grab a stale granola bar, you clearly haven’t experienced the Space Age Travel Center in Hermiston.
First of all, the fuel island setup deserves its own award. The window washing station isn’t some sad, half-empty bucket of mystery water with a shredded squeegee. No, this is a fully operational windshield spa experience. Clean water. Functional squeegees. Space to move. It’s the kind of detail that tells you: these people care. When you pull back onto I-84 with a crystal-clear windshield and the Columbia Basin sunshine pouring in, it feels like you leveled up your entire road trip.
Then you walk inside… and you’re greeted by what can only be described as The Great Wall of Caffeine.
An entire refrigerated section lined top to bottom with every energy drink, cold brew, and neon-colored performance beverage known to modern civilization. If you can’t find the exact flavor of whatever high-octane liquid motivation you’re looking for here, it probably hasn’t been invented yet. It’s not a drink cooler, it’s a monument to productivity.
And just when you think you’ve seen it all…
The big rubber chickens.
Hanging there in all their chaotic glory like roadside royalty. Equal parts hilarious and iconic. They’re the kind of thing that makes you text a picture to your group chat with zero explanation. Because no explanation is needed. Road trips require absurdity, and Space Age delivers.
Everything is clean, organized, and stocked like they actually expect humans to shop there, which, shockingly, is not always the case in travel centers. The staff is friendly, the layout makes sense, and the vibe is somewhere between “well-run operation” and “Oregon roadside legend.”
Five stars.
Clean windshield.
Fully caffeinated.
Rubber chicken acquired.
That’s how a travel stop should be done. ?”
“I have always had good experience with Phipps; my dad was a long time customer before his passing, who believed in keeping things local as do I. Great guys and fast turn around!”
“Friendly staff, convenient location, and great deli with more options than most convenience stores. Also, a lot more convenient now that they've added gas pumps.”
“They have treated me fairly both times I have had repairs done. They replaced my transmission and the motor for my power window. Experienced and budget friendly.”
“Bathrooms are always very clean and the employees are all very nice & helpful. Everytime I pass thru Hermiston for work I always stop here for my gas & restroom breaks!”
“Wonderful staff, very friendly and on top of everything. Excellent location coming into town on the 730, with nice grocery and deli selections. Very clean bathroom ➕➕➕”

“Plentiful parking spots for trucks. Friendly employees. The A&W inside also has friendly employees and serves good food. The only place I’ve seen that has giant donuts as big as they do. Showers could use some work. Gods price for fuel and DEF. I heard the hotel is decent too but have yet the need to stay there. Would recommend”

“I really like this Sinclair because they always seem to have the best prices and they can usually get you though pretty quick. Sometimes it might take a second but I'm never in a big hurry. They are usually super genuine especially a few of the guys who have helped me have even talked and asked how I'm doing while they are working between helping others super great prices!”

“I rather like this store. Have always had great cigarette prices. And the owner was nice enough to let me go through the tapes to choose what flavor I want because I was having trouble reading them from the counter. Sorry to any of you that have bad reviews. Especially the gas ones yikes.”
“New fav joint. Cafe and showroom that's curated and designed to feature local artists. Pretty much anything and everything you see is available for purchase. Great music, great food, and the customers are cool, hip, and chill. Eat, shop, and play. It's a one stop shop. Love!”

“Needed somewhere to park for the night and found this jewel. Decent truck parking and it was quiet! In the morning I went in to look around and bought some food from the deli and let me tell you...10/10 when it comes to fried food. Just the basic burritos, chicken strips, jojos, etc. But it was fried to perfection and freshly made. Portion sizes were good. Chris (cook) served me with a great attitude and a big smile. Diego (cashier) was friendly, both had great customer service. Will definitely be stopping here again when I'm in the area.”
“Overflow truck parking has more spots its in the back by rv park. Currently remodeling so no showers or bathroom which is fine since there are porta pottys outside. Looking forward to see renovations. Subway and mcdonalds are open.”
