    Passed by there twice. I can tell you the Flying J in Pasco,Washington is an absolute dive. Parking lot looks like a minefield with potholes big enough to swallow trucks whole.

    Not to mention the MAX station not too far away if you want to get out and explore the rest of the metro area!!

    Kirk's Nebraskaland in Lexington NE is one of my favorites. Always and parking and the Prime Rib is one of the best I have ever had.

    I tend to gravitate towards the smaller, one off truckstops, Shoemakers in Lincoln is another good one. Jubitz as others have mentioned. Midway in Columbia MO has everything you could want in a stop from a Tattoo shop to a Western Wear Store and a night club with live music on the weekends.

    Worst, is a long list. I try to stick to the positive.

    I have two truck stops that I love and won't tell anyone about them so they will remain the best.

    I had both bad, good and great experiences from a lot of truck stops. There were places where I had good experience when I first visited and bad on subsequent visit and vice versa. The one I remember now is Love's Travel Stop in Davenport,IA a year back or so. I waited a lot of time there to fix my tires. I talked to a guy there and got some rude response. That was once though, I had better experience from there too.

    There's a truck stop outside Boise, I think it's the stagecoach. LOVE LOVE that place.
    BarB somewhere in Texas. Loved the salad .
    Amish Truck Stop in I believe St. George MN.
    AWESOME place.

    Hate every truck stop in every urban area.
    Nothing but low rent filth. PFJ were the ABSOLUTE BIGGEST PILES OF CRAP.
    Every single last one of them.
    I spent most of Werner fuel money at TA.
    At least I had a place to park and no wait for showers.
    Didn't care for the gimmicks of loves and pfj
