“Absolutely love this little truck stop gem! Don’t let the size fool you — the menu is massive, and everything we tried was top-notch. Their all-day breakfast is unbeatable (seriously, the best eggs and pancakes I’ve had in a long time), and the catfish? Out of this world! Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Friendly service and a cozy, no-frills vibe make it feel like home. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Way better gas prices than the Shell across the street (14 - 15 cents cheaper per gallon). The convenience store is a little small but that's fine with the cheaper gas prices.”

“I'm giving them a five-star review so people can actually see this. I needed food due to my blood sugar dropping and a family member needed to use the restroom who has a disability so we stopped here. It was stated that my family member needed to use the bathroom had a medical disability and needed to use the bathroom. The employees or owners refused access. This is illegal according to the ADA Americans with Disability Act. So we need to report this establishment to the ADA which I will be doing. The people are extremely rude. Do not go here and remember it's against the federal law for them to be selling food and not have the bathrooms open and refuse for persons with disability. They also said that their restrooms were broken and not usable which is against OSHA regulations for employees to be working at establishment with bathrooms that are broken. So they are breaking multiple laws, not just for the public but also for their employees.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees.

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.
