    I guess Pilot/Flying J bought out part of it?

    I asked one of the Cashiers, if it's gonna be a FJ now..she said only the Diesel side.

    The Diesel (Truck) Pumps are signed FJ now.
    Been a while since I've been out that way.

    Guess the Restaurant went with it too. They're cleaning it out.
    Hopefully not another Denny's....lol

    I had heard it was a good restaurant, but never been in it.
    There's a lot of places to eat there, walked to the Cracker Barrel from the Pilot once.

    I'm there now. I never knew what was inside because I always went to the T/A across the street.

    Restaurant is closed and the place is being remodeled. Cashier said they are looking for someone to run the restaurant. I hope Golden Corral moves in ;)

    It was an excellent restaurant. Great food at reasonable prices. Beat TA hands down. Now when Pilot/FJ buys out TA/Petro, we will all be in a world of hurt.

    I wouldn't say beat TA hands down ... it was marginally better. But still not "good" food. A Denny's wouldn't be any worse or any better.

    Its that placebo effect. People have the illusion its better because its not a chain restaurant. In reality, the same food service truck that just left the iron skillet is crossing the street to deliver at maw n paws diner.

    But that food service truck doesn't always carry the same quality of food from one establishment to the other.
