“They started off by giving our Beagle brisket scraps without us asking or prompting. We were immediately impressed by that. The food was great and they had beer on tap, great beer to go selections and great drink options. The friendly service was the cherry on top. We will definitely stop by this hidden gem again.”

“What?!?? Wow!! Some of the very best brisket and sausage I’ve ever had! We are road tripping it and by accident stopped here. All the locals and truckers were eating here and they were running out of food. And oh, their homemade banana pudding is unbelievable! We ate our food at the gas pump and then went inside for more!! This place is a must!”

“I really like Love's. This store has gotten a lot bigger than it used to be. I haven't driven a truck for quite a while, but I still like to go to Love's over the competition on the other side of I-10. One reason is that the competition did not allow, and still does not allow, big trucks; and even though I am retired, I have just stayed loyal to what I know. I don't necessarily need a supermarket inside my gas station, although when I'm with other people, I don't object to stopping at the other one.”
