“Was able to get groceries for sammiches and they have all sorts of refrigerator items to fill in the gaps during hunger and thirst! Ice cream, too! Wonderful experience for a quick food staple. Kholaches are delicious too.”
“The little cafe inside is so yummy. It's definitely not for folks who have a silver spoon up their butts. I always have a cheese burger when I am passing through. The place is clean, small warning they allow smoking inside. So if you're allergic or offended, just keep on driving.”
“The employees go above and beyond your expectation from a gas station their food is the best the pizza is the best in town the employees are very friendly you can't go wrong with the 76”
“Bakers has always been the friendliest place. A gas station with a very nice grocery as well. Now with new restaurant too, with excellent selection of entrees. I love their grilled chicken sandwich. A great little hangout that’s only getting better. They’ve built something of a little marina as their land extends all the way to the lake, with beautiful views. Can’t wait to see what materializes and exactly what they’ve got planned!”
“Staff is always so nice! They have the best fresh chocolate chip cookies and the best pizza in the world!! Prices are a lot higher but it is a gas station out in the middle of nowhere so it is to be expected.”
“Station is always clean. They have disposable gloves to use when pumping gas so your hands don't smell like fuel when your done. 1 BAD thing NO window washing squeegee in any of the dry tubs?”
“New location as of a few months ago, so the pumps (and receipt printers!) all work as they should. The manager is also very attentive and helpful. Fuel prices are quite close to those at Cenex, but this location is clean and well kept, so it is worth it to me to pay a littler higher price for fuel if needed!”
“I asked the owner if she would order a product she did not have in stock. She did do now we don't have to drive to Athens or GBC. I really appreciate it. Great service!”
“Nice gas station! I wish the E87 was cheaper. I always go down the road a few miles to another station for E91 because it is *always* 20-60 cents cheaper per gallon.”
“Stopped in here to stretch our legs, grab a snack and a rest room break. The store was very clean. Lots of drink and snack selections. The clerk was very friendly. The restrooms were clean- always good to know when you are traveling!!”
“Yup!!! One of my ole' faithful spots!!! Must have burgers on my mind today. I love the food here. The ladies that work here are so sweet. Always quick and correct with our order. I've never had to check to make sure it was made the way I asked. I can call in ahead of time or pull up and eat at the tables. You get your food and grab a drink. Lots of menu items and cheap too! Never had a bad meal from here.”
“Me and one of the neighbors went down there late one night I guess around 2:00 or so she, And I purchase two cans of Dr pepper, Prices of just high on their chips and on your 20 oz Dr. In my complaint was they didn't have any 20 oz Dr pepper around 2:00 that night they didn't have the 20 oz I went down there for which with the strawberries in it they didn't have no kind of 20 oz Dr pepper and the grab bag chips with three dollars that's entirely too much we're in the hood they need to take their price down like, That's why I might go down there like once a month or I don't go at all, Prices of just too high as highway robber we're in the whole neighborhood, And the last owner I seen that he just left cuz he thinks we stupid if we keep on buying it which if you think about it yeah, We are stupid we let you sit here in the hood and charged us $3 for a 20 oz Dr pepper or Coke or whatever and and grab bag of chips $3 and some change over come on now we're in the hood I have to get the two for $1 chips that's yeah I got your merchandise, So that's my complaint.”
“Best place to pump gas! I ONLY pump here for my jeep and hubby's Nissan. Plus the workers are always friendly and polite. We are regulars here and they know it! ?”

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.
