Feedback
I stopped here on my way to Fort Worth and grabbed some fuel and refreshments. The service was quick and excellent. The restrooms were for customers only, which I have no problem with. The bathroom was also clean. Overall, it was a hassle-free experience.
I've been traveling between Waco and Bryan for about two years now and often stop at this restaurant. It's nice, clean, and well-lit—essential for someone like me who usually travels alone! The staff is always friendly. Despite the posted signs, I've never been denied access to the restroom, regardless of whether I make a purchase or not.
The gentleman working tonight was incredibly friendly and helpful. As two women traveling alone, we needed gas and a restroom, and he made us feel safe and welcomed.
Men's bathroom was revitalized, but they provided basic services, were friendly, and had a little special section for some of its customers. You know who you are. See photo.
