We came here on a Sunday for a rest break. They have DD, take out area, and restaurant/pub inside the main building. They only have one shower which is $10. Free truck parking. Outside they have a restaurant and bar area, cornholes, and live music. The only thing I wish was different is there is no breakfast besides DD which we don't eat. It would be nice if they had more than one shower and a place to do laundry. I will definitely be back, a very nice place.

Ample truck parking and usually spots are available, even later at night. Great selection of foods inside, including pasta, salads, devilled eggs, and more for the healthy minded. They also have alcohol for sale, and plenty of other items and goodies to stock up on. My favorite place to overnight after dropping at the Walmart DC.

Good shop.Employee at checkout tonight (5/9/24) was pretty rude, mainly because an employee dropped something in the back and she assumed me and my girlfriend had dropped something, and was rude in an interaction about rhat at checkout. Misgendered my girlfriend, subtly accused her of having two ids (what????) I don’t know maybe she was having a bad time tonight but generally a lot of sass and rude comments.I’ve shopped here a decent bit, and this is the first bad interaction I’ve had with any of the employees, otherwise they are super nice, just this one employee who gave bad service.Restaurant host was really helpful, showed us prepared meals in a freezer when the restaurant was closed. Really nice guy. Thanks to him for showing us some good food we could get when the restaurant was closed.This location is one of few places with a good mead selection.This would be a 5 star review if not for this one interaction, retraining, or. Something, is needed here.

Great selection of name brand and fresh made snacks. Great selection of cold beverages. The people are friendly, courteous, and helpful. A great place as convenience stores go. I stop here frequently.

I'd like to review the services here, but they are not a 24-hour truck stop and they close everything except the restroom at 8:30 or earlier.It looks like they have Dunkin, a cold case, and a quaint pub and restaurant available during the day. I glanced at the drink menu at the restaurant greeter station while waiting for a seat before being told they were closed. Plan on an average of $10 per drink.

They have just about everything you want here, but you know how the old saying goes. You pay for convenience. The prices are ridiculous, borderline apocalyptic. It's actually shameful that the town of Candia allowed this venture to crush the small businesses that existed loyally in town for decades, especially since Candia prides itself on its rural character. A gas station with a dunks would have been one thing, but it has turned into seven businesses in one. There is nothing country about a gas station / store / bar and grill / music venue / truck stop / donut shop / events location. You would think with all of the things offered that the owners could make a decent profit without gouging its patrons.

Great stop. Good food. Quiet truck stop to get sleep after 10pm when they close. Outdoor venue is fantastic.

One of their cashiers is not very friendly very impatient and extremely rude. You know who you are . The markup on everything is insane. One of the most expensive stores around . The food at the restaurant is very good. The service at the bar is lacking a bit. With it being so busy and so expensive you'd think they'd be able to afford better help.

I have been a customer for many years. It feels that they do not care about their customers in the takeout portion of the store. It is infuriating and disrespectful how this place has become. We have been ordering the same thing since the restaurant opened. Now we call to order a family meal and they tell us that it comes with 6 sides and only the Mac and cheese is an up charge. I get there and they up charge us for all the sides and did not even give us 2 lbs of steak tips. They said only the fries and the rice is not an up charge and contradicted themselves from what they said on the phone and what we have ordered for over 5 years. The employees are not informed and don’t know anything about the menu. Their menu is complete “FALSE ADVERTUSING” . They disregarded me as a customer and do not show any care. I was up charged an insane amount which nearly doubled the total of which the meal should be. I will not be returning and this business will be losing the business of me, family, and friends due to this.

I'm a truck driver, first time stopping here. I saw a post about prices but that's absolutely NOT the case. I spent about 25$ on dinner but it's a Ribeye, which was cooked on a grill and perfect to order. They gave way more fries than even 2 people could even eat and I got coleslaw and my other side. I don't know what that person thought or if hes a truck driver but ... stop at a truck stop in New Jersey and grab a bite, see how you like those prices.PS ... that Jeremy person has NEVER given a good review, even @ McDonalds IJSI loved it here. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Solid place to stop, can't believe they aren't 24/7. Their single slices of pizza are decent, so is their food. Most of the employees seem a bit miserable though and their prices are really steep.

They have NH Gifts and maple syrup! Delicious snacks and a butchery. The Town Cabin Grill is attached. It has become one of my favorites.

This Irving is easy access, clean bathrooms, good selection of snacks and drinks and a restaurant that serves up good food and drinks at good prices. If needed we always stop here on our days out.

Excellent corned beef with Swiss on rye. $13 (tax included) ... too pricey though.

With a DD, convenience store, a sit down pub, and a deli with hot food, this stop has all you need for your travels.

When you are in the area and need supplies for a cookout, this should be your first stop and last. Great store and great people. And if you don't want to cook, stop in at their restaurant. They work hard to provide a great dining experience. Freshly scooped ice cream is available and next door at the Barnyard try out their cornhole.

Very friendly staff. Truck parking, which is what I’m doing. Yummy food and have so much to choose from. Restaurant inside, pizza, fresh baked sweets, and a Dunkin’ too. ***also if you’re a female driver, come prepared! No bathrooms after 930 on sun and 10 rest of the week. I’m in training, so I kinda had to suffer***

Really great place for truckers. Offers a variety of food and healthy options at that. They even have sodas that ate on the more healthful side. I park here everytime i deliver in the area and always look forward to their pizzas and salads

Great food! Never done the restaurant, but sandwiches are great, best dunkin' as far as courtesy and making the drinks, butcher shop and their pies in the cooler by the registers are on point for the nation. Their pre-made cold stuff is great too. Always stop in before I get on The highway.

Good place to stop for gas and coffee or a snack when you're in the middle of nowhere. There's a Dunkin inside as well as a good sized market and a take-out restaurant with a surprisingly wide variety of offerings.
