Yes, it's on a somewhat different topic -- but the following may later prove to be of some interest:

UPDATE: I visited the Robertsdale, AL location....on Tuesday, April 21st.

The new T/A corporate footprint does not completely smother the nostalgic feel of the diner area.

The grand opening was about 3 weeks ago; the place is thus now back open for business. The parking lot is all paved, & HUGE; I'm told there's room for approx 180 rigs. Several spaces are also available for bobtail only. All the truck fuel pumps are working (diesel, & DEF).

There is a scale there -- but it's not working, & is blocked off; I'm told there are simply too many other scales nearby to make a refurbish for it economically worthwhile.

If you decide to stay/visit there, & eat -- try to get a table in the railway dining car; it's a museum in & of itself. Each table in the dining car is a glass-enclosed display with a different theme: some are nostalgic cars, trains...or even toys.

Avoid ordering the meatloaf plate -- it's only so-so, at best.

Hope some of this helps...see attached pics...

 

I actually ate there a few years ago. Thought it seemed familiar. It was nice then. Hopefully TA doesn't ruin it.

 

It’s open and running now. Lots of parking.
Looks like they are building a Racetrack truck stop next door.

 

Interesting that you have the TA at Exit 52, next exit west is the Buc-ee's at Exit 49, then at Exit 44 there's the Loves, Speedway, and a Raceway building south side of that exit, and all of the DC's at that exit. Where or where is Pilot/Flying J? Will they build at exit 49 by Buc-ee? Lots of space there on the other 3 corners?
