    I stop at the Flying J, because I bank with TAB bank. I rarely spend a night there. The parking lots are full of trash and bags of shat. Even though they have dumpsters everywhere. The food by the fuel desk is good when it's fresh, most the time it's all withered up because it's a week old. The restraunt food is barely edible,plus I have to watch 350 pound people waddle back to the buffet to reload their plates.
    The Pilot is way better, there's always parking if you can back up. Unless a big hooded truck is parked along the curbs.

    Beaverdam, OH is gonna be fun now! I can't imagine IdleAire at Pilots. I love Pilot coffee. Since hooks don't take ComData, I hardly ever go into one, but have been known to park in one if a) there is no where else and I am either out of hours or next to my shipper/receiver for the next morning or b) there just HAPPENS to be a parking spot.

    I am thinking more along the lines of "The Pil-o-J"

    Hey, Nana, most Denny's have WAY better pie! And those caramel apple pie desserts? YUMMY, especially if ya ask for extra caramel sauce! I used to work at Denny's, and I would have that,or the brownie, a couple times a week.

    Ya'll better hope the Denny's at the P-lots are better than the one that WAS in Cheyenne before it went down the drain.
    What a loser of a place that was.

    I ate there twice in the same visit..... the first and the last time all wrapped up into
    one visit.
