    That place was a rat hole. I ate there once I got chicken parmigiana and the chicken was spoiled. I never ate there again. It wasn't like the cook could not smell it either. As soon as the plate was in front of me I smelled it.

    The death of what was once a good truck stop when it was in private hands. RIP

    Ain't that the truth. That's where I bought my General Lee CB (still kicking after 10 years)from the CB guy right next to the fuel desk. I ate there many times and they had good food. So peelot has leveled the Frystown All American and Johnnies, both were my stopping places when I ran out of Mechanicsburg. So much for nostalgia. What they've done to Bosselman's is criminal. Watch out Sapp Bros., I'm sure Peelot is gunning for you as well.

    You just had and go and bring up Johnnies didn't you. That was one of my favorite places to stop for lunch when I ran our NJ road route. I refused to stop there after Pilot took over. The Frystown All-American was one of my layover and dinner stops(as well as a few liitle places that I won't mention:biggrin_25525:) if I was on 78 and didn't have the hours to make it to Carlisle to the Petro. In all honesty, I refuse to stop at ANY Pilot.

    Yeah Johnnies really ticked me off as well. I was leased to Carlisle Carrier and that was our hangout. Sure it was a dump, but the food was decent, and the workers were long term and would get to know you, and you could usually find parking unless 78 was really wrecked up. Yeah, I won't put the small places online either, otherwise they'll be full of Swift trucks, or the Peelot buyers will try to own it.
