Petro Dodge City, Al

Well i guess i would trust that food, over that of the issues faced by the salmonella, e-coli bacteria that has plagued many of those trashy pre-packaged fast food places. I will take a sit down, home cooked meal over fast food every day of the year. If one is not available, than i cook for myself in my truck, or BBQ in good weather.

 

When I was OTR my first year , iron skillet or Denny’s was fine dining ! Sadly iron skillet seems to have went downhill. I quit eating at the one in Kingdom City.

 

Hard to find good waitresses too.

Whatever happened?

Why can't truckers sit down in a dimly lit restaurant at the truckstop with uniformed waitresses filling your coffee cup with a smile after a long hard day? Like it used to be.

When I started,After 10 hours out there on a cold day...All i wanted to do was sit at the Bar-Light up a smoke-Drink a few cups of coffee,BS with the guys....

It has so Changed For the Worse......

Dont put a G #### Plastic Carafe of coffee in Front of me while im spending money at your restaurant TA, Thats Tacky and Sucks.

 

I’m here now. This place has grown. I have not been here in years.

 

FYI,,
If your down that way going through Birmingham, jump off I65 at Finley Avenue go west about 3/4 mile and hit Niki’s West. Great food, you can park a truck there but no overnights.
If continue west it will run you into I20 and 79.

 

The Pilot in Rapid City SD has a real nice sit down Diner in it.
One of the few ive ever seen.

 

That's the Flying J right? The Pilot in Rapid City has a restaurant "Marlins" that shares the same parking lot... Both places are good. Marlins also has a location in Sioux Falls that's at a small truck stop.

 

OMG yes, I second the motion on Niki’s. Amazing Southern buffet. Heck, ask for greens and they give you the choice of collards, mustard, or turnip greens. I always need a nap after!

 

There's several Petros that have decided to cater to the yuppie rather than the trucker.

Fargo and Albert Lea are for yuppies now.
