I merely stopped in for gas while traveling from VA to FL, but the food was banging! Absolutely saved this place for my next trip.

Was traveling from Florida to VA and got hungry. I googled restaurant near me on Google maps and this popped up I almost missed the turn as it popped up just before the exit. I was glad we stopped. It was a cafe inside a gas station/ truck stop. My husband and I ordered a chicken and cheese and he ordered a Philly steak. It was in Texas toast and we got fries with it. It was so delicious and cooked to order. My husband ate his all ( which is unusual) we normally share food. I could not finish mine and brought back home to VA and heated it in air fryer and it still was yummy. It’s definitely worth stopping by if in the area. Great food cooked to order and reasonably priced

Nice homey feel, like a local burger joint . The two young ladies behind the counter made me and my husband delicious cheeseburger and fries dinner. They also offer breakfast. I’m happy we stopped there versus a chain restaurant, so tired of those places where no one seems to care. The place was clean, the bathroom was clean, we were able to get drinks and gas and we were on our way :) Thank you!Parking: Huuuuge lot with plenty of room to park, there’s a side for cars and a side for semi’s

The black girls that work here are extremely rude blasting music and have nasty attitudes they are constantly out of side dishes like rice n gravy Mac n cheese thet rarely have it they could add more stuff to their menus and desert items main issues is the service its 1 pm and they are out of hot dogs and can't fry anything waste of gas money coming out here have been dealing with the same issues here for over a year now which is dad because they really do have the best hot dogs and chili

These are some terrible individuals. The reason why you don't understand why there are so many bad reviews is because if you are not of the right persuasion you won't notice the terrible people. If you are of a darker persuasion you might as well keep driving until you get to the next exit at least there you get the service you pay for. Will never recommend stopping here and if your eating here make sure you watch everything that is made!!!

A good little place to eat but the hamburger steak needs to be thicker not served with a dinner with french fries or baked potato with onions and gravy but breakfast was great
