Testimonials

On 3/23/2026 Jason Jackson had this to say:
Good food friendly people and truck parking

On 3/18/2026 James Collier, Jr. had this to say:
Haven't traveled this way in years, and will likely never see this place again, but it was one of my favorites when I was running freight between the Quad Cities and Rochester MN. Nice, quiet place to park the rig, which is rare. I believe the restaurant came in after my time, but was always a great place to stop.

On 2/23/2026 Narbelle Gazelle had this to say:
I will definitely stop here every time I travel through on my way to New Brighton, MN. Places like this truck stop with a dine in restaurant are far and few in between. The fuel prices were competitive and the parking lot was large and easily accessible....

On 2/9/2026 Eric Andersen had this to say:
They serve great breakfast and dinners although I haven't done any suppers yet.
