We were here on a Monday night about 8pm and there are plenty of parking spots, maybe 9 spots open. I seen 2 trailers that were dropped and one personal vehicle in parking spots. The clerk lady was really nice. They do close at 8pm, which I didn't like but they have soft serve ice cream which I did like.

On our way to Templeton distillery for tour and Sink, stopped in at Waspy’s to get something to eat.They will do a made to order hot meal.We had a ready-made club wrap. Mostly meat with a little lettuce and a tortilla around the outside. Excellent food! Good price. Friendly service.If you didn’t eat breakfast on your way to tour the distillery, be sure to stop at Waspy’s for a bite before you go.

Beautiful clean place. Cafe open for breakfast and lunch. Lots of parking for trucks, considering the traffic. Love it.

Was at Waspys on Sunday after church on Aug 20th. We ordered breakfast at 5 minutes to 12:00 noon and waited 2 hours for our food. While waiting so e people left, done got their meal while the other party they were with did not and left hungry. We were told ten minutes at 1:20 and then 3 and was 20 and one plate came out at a time. The one cook came out and told the young waitress not to take new orders before older tickets which upset her to tears. They can only serve the food that comes up that was the kitchens mistake. The kitchen help had no idea what they were doing and there was 5 of them. Everyone on. in the restaurant told the waitress and waiter that it wasn't them it's the kitchen help. My food was not prepared correctly(skillet) hash browns over cooked almost burnt, diced ham and not a slab of ham, and my toast was the heals of the loaf of bread . And a very small serving. This happened the Sunday before to they had one cook so we just had rolls and left.

Honestly, what kind of truckstop closes at 3pm. Thats insane to me. Ok worker shortage is what i hear but that is just an excuse. Pay works more or management needs to step up and take care of customers. Its ridiculous, how does a cash customer on diesel get diesel... crazy

Clean store, restrooms, and Cafe. The food was great and plentiful. My family of 5 ate supper for less than $40 and no one left hungry.

Parking used to be easy to come by, but now all but maybe 3 spots are taken up by local drivers either parking there trucks or personal vehicles along with dropped trailers.

I love this place. You can't get a better pizza anywhere or come inside and sit down and have a fantastic meal in the restaurant. It's pretty and elegant which is a it is unusual for a truck stop.. So glad we have this in town..

Pizza is fantastic! Way better than any Casey's pizza I have ever had. We live 2 hrs away. I usually have my boyfriend pick up a pizza on his way home from St. Joe. Employees are very nice, very good customer service. The place is always clean.

Paid 10 dollars for a car wash with my fill up. Doors are locked on the building, phone always rings busy. I went out of my way to come here. Wont happen again. Ridiculous.Edited from 1 star to 4... a nice gentleman came to help me with the car wash. 🙂

Always the lowest price for E85 in these parts and that's all I use. Anytime I'm in the vacinity I will fill up and get my car washed. I love the car wash!! One of the few automatic washes that will do a better job than doing it yourself. When in Templeton buy some fuel and some rye while you're at it! You won't regret it!

The entire truck stop and c-store are neat and clean, as is the cafe. The cafe with table service is the same food from the same kitchen as the quick service counter. It's a nicer environment with real dinnerware. One oddity is the cafe serves canned sodas, so no free refills. I had the breaded pork loin, which was thick, meaty, and juicy. The c-store is huge. The pump islands are easily accessible even if you have a trailer or RV.

Very clean facility. Its always consistently clean which I appreciate because I thin gas stations are dirty places. I love the carwash, its better then any carwash in Carroll. Also the air pump is automated which is amazing in winter when its cold and my tires are low on air. The food used to be AMAZING when it opened. It has really gone downhill since then. I ordered pancakes with sausage and hashbrowns. Everything had so much grease on I tipped my plate and it ran off like water. Haven't eaten there since. Hopefully its improved. Everything else is great about it. There is a ton of pumps so you never have to wait to get gas. They have a pretty decent liquor selection for being a gas station.

Very good food. Generous portions and reasonable prices. Can't believe the wonderful desserts at such reasonable prices. Our waitress Betsy was awesome and very friendly. Thank you for a great experience.

Best automatic car wash I have ever been to. The undercar spray doesn't cut out too soon. The children love the multi colored foam. It is worth it just for them to have fun

The chicken is awesome. Seriously. I've heard their other food is great, too, but I can't get past the chicken to find out. Overkill beautiful truckstop planted in the middle of nowhere. Worth the drive.

Had really good food and service. Went on a Sunday and tried the breakfast buffet, left her full and satisfied. Only thing is seating is pretty limited and it's usually pretty busy.

Very nice place to stop for gas, & a bite to eat. The food here is very yummy. It is an order from the menu like Restaurant in here, plus it's also a convenience store as well. It is a beautiful store & very clean.

Waspys truck stop has a variety of things to offer,my favorite is their donuts,some of the best around. They have sandwiches made up beforehand or you can have one made fresh,theres also a diner to sit and eat. They carry drinks of all kinds,to much to remember, they just have alot of stuff,nice place to stop if you're headed out on a road trip.

Quit serving Sunday brunch. Quit having waitresses. All they care about is their Audubon location. Now they are going to start having Sunday brunch at Templeton again, they must be hurting. They drove alot of people away from the Templeton location, and honestly they should just close the place down. Greedy handlos family!!!

Went through carwash in Templeton-paid $10 for wash. Stopped washing in the middle of car wash. Soap completely covered my truck! Call Audubon Waspy's and drove there. All they offered was a carwash. Go through carwash again and my truck is still covered in soap. Went back into store and all manager and cashier could do is give me my $10. Nothing else, wasted my time, gas and let alone pushed back what I needed to get done by a certain! Definitely not worth the money or time!!
