A place that splits the difference between modern and old school truck stop. The restaurant is a time capsule with good and hearty food. Every snack and refreshment is available. What cracked me up was the retail area that seemed to specialize in forgetful husbands that needed a birthday or anniversary gift for the wife. Highly recommended for a long break from the road

Nice truck stop, clean bathrooms, they have a cool offering of gifts (I bought a pug statue which is awesome), easy on/off the highway. Never ate there but looks and smells good.

Pilot Flying J Fuel and brand new showers (can use rewards). If your not going to fuel i think is better to use the scale entrance.

Clean, plenty to do, big gift shop, and nice folks. The restaurant has lots of space and my compliments to the cook not many people can cook liver and onions I was impressed. Would give 5 star even though the bathroom was clean there was no toilet paper some poor woman got paper towels and went back in the stall.

I walked in about 7pm 10/1423 and sat down in a booth waiting, no service. Then three men walked in and sat down in the booth behind me. Someone came, took their order left, and didn't say a word to me , came back, served them their drinks left again, didn't say a word to me. Now, mind you, I've been in many times and wasn't busy last night . Terrible service this Saturday was very rude.. there were three waitresses...

Really unique as far as truck stops go, in many ways.. Showers clean & great hot water. Only downside is the weird setup of the pumps, but overall great place.

Awesome travel plaza , very well stocked and has pretty much anything you could possibly need for your travels. Didn’t look like much from the outside but once inside it s a different world- it looked brand new & freshly remodeled. Great place to fuel up & grab snacks if in the area

The restaurant was a lil busy I got a burger 2 go and a pop at the counter. They were nice but I was starting at my food that was cooked and they took care of everyone else first then got my food even though I ordered 1st. My fries were room temp. I was disappointed but the burger was excellent.

Nice, quiet truck stop. Showers are nice. No laundry facility. Restaurant has great food. Love the gift shop. Lots of cool stuff to look at. I’d rate it 5 stars but the guy taking care of the showers wasn’t doing his job. Besides that it’s definitely a nice place to take a 10 or 34.

Great place to get Breakfast. Great steak and eggs also their chicken fried steak is really worth stopping in for. The waitress Lois Miller was very pleasant and accommodating. If you are passing this restaurant its worth the stop. I give this place a 10 out of 10 stars.. :)

Staff was friendly. The manager on duty seemed a little shocked when I complimented them for the cool stuff they sell.(had a look like “why are you talking to me) Outside of that the rest of the staff were friendly. The lot is REALLY small so get there EARLY for an overnight spot. Store is clean and smells good. So DON’T let the OLD and OUTDATED outside of the building fool you! They would get 5 stars but only get 4 for the outside and the manager who gave me the look she did!(now I’m assuming she’s a manager only cause she took the lead when it came down to counting the till’s

Awesome store, lots to look at and a great variety. Restaurant looks really nice although I didn't eat there. Shower was nice and big, HOWEVER... it had not been cleaned after the last persons use, which is just gross.Hair and toothpaste in the sink, water all over the floor and used soap in the shower.

Most everything is homemade. It's such a nice change in a time when speed and efficiency are on the pedestal. Great place to come in and slow down.

Waitress was fun but don't offer all you can eat food if you're not gonna let someone eat all they can! I had ALL YOU CAN EATspaghetti and meatballs!! Yep that was a LIE! Got two meatballs and a little plate of spaghetti first go around, then went to a quarter of plate and 1 meat ball, then no meatballs, then started taking sauce away! Barely even covered noodles! $11.99 my hind end. Was good but a rip off!

Emlenton Travel Plaza has the ABSOLUTE best Liver and Onions! The cooks and staff are always friendly and quick. I also like their sweet tea.

In addition to having a variety of needed travel items and foods, this travel stop is a great place to get homemade jams and interesting gifts. Don't forget to sit down and have a meal at the restaurant too.

Was quite surprised at this location. Great little restaurant, good food, great staff. Showers are fantastic. Could use more parking but I understand the space constraints. Everywhere needs more parking...

This travel stop was excellent, except for the restaurant. The bathrooms were clean, the staff of the store area were engaging and helpful and the variety of gifts was charming, fun and very reasonably priced.However, the staff at the "Dig In" restaurant left something to be desired. We walked in and seated ourselves as the sign directed. The place had several empty tables, many of which had dirty dishes on them. We were never approached by a waitress even though she looked at us. She proceeded to continue her conversation with a table that had finished their meal. My brother lifted his arms up and waved them both around and said, "Hello?" And yet again we were ignored. After 5 minutes, we got up and left.The store staff gets 5 stars (they even apologized for the terrible service at the restaurant even though it wasn't their fault) - restaurant staff 0.And to the waitress who ignored us - my brother usually tips over 20% of the bill.

Parking enough for maybe 50-60 trucks. C-store is well-stocked and clean, with a large variety of useful trucker stuff and unexpected gifts. Clean restrooms. Haven't tried the diner yet but you can bet I will come morning. Satisfied with my visit thusfar.

The gift shop area is really fun to look at. This is a great around point to walk around and browse the many gift shop items, grab fuel and snacks and basically refresh. I need to go back and buy that yard gnome! Hilarious!

Ed was amazing but kitchen staff are terrible. Waited over an hour and never got food. Left. I feel bad for Ed because it's hard to get good staff... or even staff that show up these days, but can't give this place a good review. Good luck Ed!

Really nice for a truck stop. Bathroom was very clean and the showers were spotless. They were cleaning the ladies room so they let us use the facilities in their showers. Lots of great gift items. The whole place was clean and nicely laid out.
