    Used to be a franchise store ... great mom and pop restaurant, and pretty good yard bird in the fuel counter hot case. Restaurant was always full of locals.

    No more ... now a corporate with a subway and something else whenever they get around to finishing the remodel. Fuel price on the street went up by 30 cents overnight.

    Parking is always seriously effed up by PNW megacarrier idiots ... was only on my go to list because of the food and a break time shower ... now I doubt I will ever stop there again.

    The restaurant was just remodeled in the last year or so and as of last week was still the restaurant. So you saying they’ve started remodeling the freshly remodeled restaurant??

    Im sorry to hear of that particular J going away. Essentially offloading the expense and costs onto third parties like Subway.

    To be fair running that Cabbage as much as we did, we had our own food and fluids in the cab with us and the means to cook it as we drove after 2000.
