    Wow, what a nice place to take a break. Been years since i had stopped there. Walked into the resturant and wondered if i was in a truck stop.
    They had remodled the entire resturant a couple of years ago. And the atmosphere gave me the feeling of walking into a nice sit down resturant in a business/ entertainment district in any city USA.
    Clean, attentive staff, quality of the food was very good. Hope to return more often.

    Yes. Used to be lots of pictures and trophies on display. Used to have good western wear there. It's been a few years since I was there so not sure if it is still the same.

    I live not to far from Fargo and sometime I have to camp out there. I go to the Petro. They also have a Hook there but the food sucked.Doesn't matter anymore because they were bought out by Pilot and closed the resturant. The Stamart is not bad if you don't mind Deli style food. It is clean and also has a truck wash.

    They just put up a Loves but I refuse to go there for anything. I won't stay or use anyplace that only has a fast food type joint for food.

    Grand Forks has the Tesorro "Big Sioux", Stamart and Simonsons. The Sioux has the biggest lot and the most parking as well as a decent resturant. Simonsons has a smaller lot but good food as well as a lounge/bar, Stamart does not have a resturant and has a medium sized lot.
