Fuel pumps are all down, entrance is closed. Soft drink machine is working. Tried three different sinks to wash my hands none of the water turned on. Told guy working the counter he said ya they don't work sometimes.A place to park is for the 2 stars.

Big lot for RV and trucks and well lite. Staff was friendly and helpful. We stopped at chain truck stop across the freeway and it was filthy. Bathrooms were awful so we tried this place.So much better!We have a travel trailer and spent the night. Talked to owner who welcomed us immediately. Easy on and off freeway.

Stopped here for gas after getting off the 80. Very clean place! Cashier was nice! Looks cleaner than most of the other travel places where you can take a shower. They have a wide selection of snacks and drinks. The place is pretty big. Good experience!

They are only open till 10 pm and much like other places it may be due to no help BUT TRUCKERS.. THESE ARE THE TYPE OF TRUCK STOPS WE KEEP ASKING FOR. NOT A BIG CHAIN...HELP SUPPORT THESETYPES OF PLACES IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.. once they have pumps done this is an excellent place to stop

I was very excited to stop in and get real food as advertised. You know like a old school truck stop with a real restaurant. I walk up thinking about about the food that is going to be on the menu thinking of what options I'll choose from and walk thru the door.... no restaurant, all hot cases were empty, the pizza place had no food ready, and the 4 hot dogs that were on the roller grill were cold which I didn't know that when I bought them, waste of $7. Thus place has potential and maybe was awesome when it first opened, not at this point. Go to the Pilot for at least some limit food options. Seems to have a decent lot, and the 1 person at the register was friendly enough. Even though I was left with a complete disappointment, this place has potential.

Stopped at the re-opened restaurant 2 times last week. The food was decent..... service good. Prices were very reasonable. Good place to bring the kidsRoomy dining room and the adjoining travel store looked clean and well stocked. This facility was closed for a few years so it's nice to see someone making a go of it!

Truck fuel has brand new pumps working perfectly. Looked like there was plenty of parking. Store was clean, organized and well stocked. I got a chef salad to go, and I would recommend this stop for anyone.

Well huge dissappointment there was/is no catfish. In fact no silverware, Plates, cups, and really no customer service. In fact, I wish I could tell you how bad/good the waitress is, but I can't. The restaurant is closed for the time being. So just the convenient store is open. Just up the street is dollar general where you can micro food. Seems to a quiet clean place.

Stopped for fuel, and a shower. Fuel islands and parking lot are clean and in good condition. Store is nice, shower was CLEAN. The ONLY reason for 4 stars not 5 is, not open 24 hrs. Otherwise this is what a truck stop should be.

Stopped for lunch, was greeted by friendly waitress who served us an awesome sandwich, fries and bowl of chili. Restaurant was clean, casual and is definitely on my repeat business list. Service was quick, good outstanding, prices were very respectable. You can fill up your gas tank, and quench you appetite and one location.

Under new ownership now, and really improved; new managers live on-site and really take the place seriously. The place is virtually spotless, the people are very friendly, and -- once they can find people who aren't content to sit and collect extended unemployment for the rest of their lives -- Maxwell's restaurant will be back. I'll definitely be back!

Nice place, a lot of parking. The store closes at 10pm so no bathrooms available after that time. Sounds like they will be open 24hrs at some point. They're trying to hire more employees.

I hate pilot, do yourself a favor and to the pilot instead of Woodhull! It's another foreign owned and operated, run as cheap as possible station. Only good for parking

Fantastic , clean, excellent food, courteous professional service. Do NOT let appearances fool you. The young man that waited on me and cooked my food was awesome. He does not present himself as a typical waiter/cook but do not be fooled...he approaches his job with a pride and quality that most people of his generation do not. He truly CARES about what he is serving and he CARES about the quality of the food. He is willing to share how he cooks your food to ensure the good taste.Motorists..If your traveling through give this place a try..Truckers.. you have to stop..huge parking lot, great service, fantastic food.I highly recommend the Catfish dinner. Well done young man..well done.

This is an older travel plaza and it was cool in the building. To be fair, it was 18 degrees with a wind of 25 mph so any heating system would be working overtime trying to keep up. The restaurant was clean and the food was good with prices that weren't out of line and better then some of the large "stopping centers".

Cashier in the convenience store was rather rude. The parking lot is terrible. Half the pumps were not working. Just had a bad vibe. I know not to stop here on the way through next time. I'm not sure where all these good reviews are coming from. There was a handwritten note on all the doors outlining new hours. I guess business must be really slow. At the very least they could have used Microsoft Word to make something up instead of a Sharpie and notebook paper. Maybe I'm just picky. I'm a Shell guy when it comes to gas and that's why I stopped here instead of Pilot.

Large gravel parking lot. Restaurant has good food at reasonable prices. Nice people working at this family owned truck stop. Dollar General next door for shopping if you need something. They have cocktails in the restaurant. The restaurant is open from 6 am to 9 pm though. They sell booze and beer in the convenience store too.

Showed up on Saturday, Jan 14th 2023 at 1430 local time. Doors were locked, and nobody home. A shame really, the parking lot is huge, and all new concrete.

This is a GREAT place to stop and relax a while, have a great meal, fill your gas tank, whatever you need to make your trip more enjoyable. We had breakfast here. The food was excellent, but the service was above average. Keenan was our server. A very personable and energetic young man! We really enjoyed our conversation with him. If our country had more young men like him, willing to do a job well, we would have far less problems. If you're traveling by here be sure to stop.

Great place to stop at! parking lot for the trucks is made of dirt and messed up but nothing severe, it's pretty quite at night. Resturant inside is pretty good. Kinda limited menu and salad bar selection sucks, but everything they have is pretty good. Definitely recommend over the pilot on the other side of the interstate.

Restaurant is only open during the week and not all day even. It's not open on the weekends. Although the store is clean. The owners don't want to spend money lighting the parking lot well. Or even heating the building. The shelves are pretty empty and it looks like most of the stuff needs repair.I hope the owners put in some effort to improve the facilities and get this old school truck stop up n going before it's too late. But you'll feel safe with all the "security cameras" they've installed.

Restrooms and Restaurant are clean.Was super disappointed that they didn't and couldn't cook Indian Dishes they advertise.What we did order was excellent. The parking lot is unkempt, full of Crater Potholes and muddy water standing. The fuel island isn't kept up. No way to wash windshield. Most of the convenient store is bare of products.

If i had to choose id go here instead of the Pilot or BP. Prices are always a bit lower and the pumps are new and not slow like pilots pumps. Has alot more to choose from as far as drinks. Godfathers pizza is also good but pizza is always pretty good.

I've been stopping here for around 20 years. This place used to be so busy. It's probably one of the best truck stops in the whole country. They went through different owners over the years. People prefer to go to the pilot now and pay 50 cents extra per gallon so they can get points on their pilot cards. No, this place won't have showers that are kept cold at 50 degrees or it won't have cardboard sandwiches made by subway. It has a nice lounge with a tv, leather sofas and a pool table, large laundry, and a big restaurant. But people don't want stuff like this anymore, they want the pilot who gouges prices and serves greasy food. So don't come here because I won't have to stay in line for a decent hot shower where is actually warm in the room.
