“Nothing like finding out that the burritos are held for four hours and the grease had soaked through the burritos. Turned right back around and the lady was fine with making some fresh ones for us. This was the only reason they got four stars. Shame on TnT for holding the burritos way past their times they still taste fresh.”

“The parking lot has room for about 8 trucks, and even later in the evening, like around 10 PM, you can find a spot without much hassle. No showers here, and there’s no Wi-Fi, but the convenience of having Rock Inn Cafe nearby is a big plus. They serve great steak and catfish and are open until 9 PM. Bonus: you can park a few trucks (about 3) near the restaurant if you’re grabbing a bite.”

The prices are on the higher end for bottled and canned drinks, chips, snacks, and candies - even for a convenience store. Fountain drinks and hit foods are a fair deal. They have some cool Allsup's branded flavors of snacks.”
