Reviews - Samra Travel Center
Reviews summary
A roadside convenience stop supplies basics like bottled water and beer but is marred by persistent cleanliness and food-safety issues. Reports highlight filthy, neglected restrooms, poorly prepared (tough, possibly stale) food, and a sense of long-standing neglect that raises health concerns. Its isolated location and modest pricing offer limited convenience, yet many are likely to avoid it until cleanliness, food quality, and maintenance improve.
What Ryan M dislikes about Samra Travel Center:
The staff at this restaurant, who are foreign, were very rude to me. They instructed me to go to the cashier while I was waiting for my family to decide if they wanted anything else, even though I only had an energy drink in my hand. There's a lot more I could say about this experience. I definitely recommend you consider other options instead of wasting your time here. If I didn't have to give it a one-star rating,...

Came in late wed 1/24/24 and the male employee working gave me an off vibe. When I was leaving he was watching me like he was trying to see through my jacket then he walked out of the store like he was going to follow me but stopped and just watched me get into my car. I sat there for a few minutes bc I was going to take a nap in the lot but decided not to and left. He never went back in the store and I could see him in my review continuing to stare as I drove away. I think anyone would be weirded out by that.
Filthy restrooms, minimal selection of fountain beverages, staff is so so on friendliness
I just stopped in here and the entire place only had one working toilet and that was pretty marginal. The employees are basically standing around doing nothing. I complained about the bathroom and the response was, yeah... I was going to get food and gas, but decided to drive to Barstow instead.
We have traveled over 3,000 miles. This is the most disgusting place on earth. Just gross gross gross. Out of all the women's bathroom stalls only one was approachable. I did not take pics, because it was too disgusting.
DISGUSTING!!! KEEP DRIVING!! They obviously don't care since there are reviews here going back as many as 6 years commenting on how horrible the bathrooms are and it seems that nothing has changed!! I'll be contacting health department since these reviews have had no impact.

Don't waste your time, go somewhere else. Staff is very rude and unprofessional. Dirty toilets. It's not worth stopping here.
A small mart along the highway. Clean bathroom and hot foods are available. Unfortunately, staffs are a bit unprofessional.
Toilets are disgusting.
This place is a burn. Go to mohsen station the next light down for fair prices and honest people
Dirty!! The entire store is filthy!! Don't waste your time or your money supporting this buisness.

Please for the love of god pay a professional to clean your bathrooms then make sure your employees keep it clean. Felt like I needed a hazmat suit
87 grade gas is literally $1.00/gallon less in Barstow, just 7 miles away. Head there instead.
The restrooms are disgusting. The side panels between stalls don’t appear to have been cleaned in quite some time and there was guck all over on top of the toilet paper dispenser. Not sure if they clean anything f other than maybe stalls floors and sinks???
Dirty toilets not a real pilot.
Good:Coffee was hot and great! Parking lot for trucks is newly paved, and quiet for sleeping . Not so good: no showers , dark interior only 1/4 the lights were on) rude employees , bathroom was a mess not swept , garbage on floors etc) Bought coffee, wasn't asked about pilot rewards DQ clearly says open to 8pm , closed at 7pm when I arrived Basically a typical franchised pilot
