OH, I like one!! When hubby is on the road usually we all go, and we stop at Pilot. Some are filthy. But some have the one thing not many other truck stops have. Bug Juice. Lets just say traveling in a semi with 2 toddlers is hard enough, so Pilot having Bug Juice is HUGE to us. Sounds silly I know, but then again my 2 toddlers, well they are something else. In IA last week we drove forever hoping to find one, then finally in Des Moines there it was!!!!!!!

There is one on 55 hwy south in southern Mo Called Ozora. It is pretty good. They have some funky stuff in there too.
Keep smiling it makes people wonder what you are up to.

Pilot in Dallas because of all the lot lizards and drug dealers. LOL. It's a Joke, geez!!
No, I like a bunch of them. I guess the Petro in Joplin is one of my favorites, but I like any of them with a smart mouthed waitress that can stand up and dish it out with the rest of us. Makes me feel like I am home! :lol:

beaux bridge, la. the silveer sage i think ???????
they have a friendly staff and beautiful locals that frequent there. no lot lizards, very clean showers and restrooms. and plenty of parking for me whenever i go . I-10 e/w exit 109 ( ? ). they also have the video casino there, cards mostly, but i pass on that and the beer as well.
this is a momnpop, i think.

Green Shingle in Fairview PA, Giant in NM, and Little America Wyoming.

3 of my favorites, and I guess someone should give a shout out for The Iowa 80, and Holbrook,NM

How Depressing, I haven't been back west in a few years, used to love the Giant, good people, decent food, decent showers, nice place to relax and get a nap.
