    No. Just a stand alone Hen House. Not 24 hours but food is decent.

    I stopped there last week for the first time since the early 90's, sad to say but it seems that the Dixie went down hill when pilot bought it. Not even close to what it was back in the day......

    What I don't get is that they remodeled the place except the parking lot. They have several crater sized pot holes.

    There is one in Springfield still(I think). Have not been there for years, but was open last I knew. The Hardees restaurant closed & trucks went in & out of there for parking(open lot on north side on map linked). The Pilot/Road Ranger is on the other side of 55.

    Googled it. Found a phone number even.

    Never been to it.

    Probably have driven by it though.
