This was a nice place with reasonably clean facilities. They have a diner, arcade, large store, restrooms and other amenities that come in handy while traveling. The parking lot was spacious with a separate section for trucks. The store manager didn't seem to pleased about...Read More

Management doesn't care if you have a handicapped placard. They refuse to move non handicapped out of the handicapped spaces claiming that they were no longer handicapped spaces. I fell on the snow and ice blocking the handicapped ramp and was treated as though it...Read More

Bathrooms haven't been cleaned right in a long time! Disgusting! I spend thousands every month on fuel at flying J and pilots. But waiting for showers for way to long just for them to be dirty with no hot water might change tho. These pictures...Read More

We stopped here on the way through town for gas and to use the restroom. It is a well kept facility, but the bathrooms need a good cleaning. The dirt is climbing up the walls from a mop slapping the walls and then the walls...Read More

Okay. First, get rid of preconceived and well earned opinions on flyingJ and Pilot. This stop has to be a flagship location. Don and his crew have a very clean store, packed with merch, and staffed by nice folks. The Showers are some of the...Read More

The one star is just for the black haired girl working the overnight/ early morning shift on 10/7/24 at 0545. She has a major attitude when interacting with customers. While I'm using self checkout because "the register was down" a gentleman came in to...Read More

Would give zero stars or negative stars if possible. Slipped and fell due to ice in the parking lot next to the fuel islands. Went and asked the “manager “ for some salt so I can put it down as well so nobody else would...Read More

This used to be a great place, however since pilot took over, they closed off the upstairs which used to be a quiet place for drivers and people traveling. Unless you're a driver or with a driver of a semi, a person cannot get a...Read More

The parking lot is huge! And may I add, for a lot this big, the store is immaculate. I haven’t been to many Flying J’s that are this clean. All kinds of steam table food, pizza, Cinnabon! The coffee area is clean and...Read More

Can't tell you how the showers are but the restrooms were clean, staff was friendly and pumps were decent. Quite a few spots around 1600 when I parked up, and to the people saying it's tight here you obviously haven't been to many tight areas....Read More

Tried three different pumps. None worked. One had something blocking the credit card slot on the inside, card just wouldn’t go in. One, the whole card reading apparatus was jacked, part of the cover was missing. To put a skimmer in, maybe? And the third...Read More

This is by far one of the best Flying J locations in the country. It looks like it used to be a petrol and Flying J did the smart thing and bought it out. Absolutely phenomenal tons of parking, tons of showers, tons of washers...Read More

I never rate Flying J's 5 stars but this place was pretty good. Parking available in the later afternoon. Fuel islands were clear. There is a lot of local restaurants within walking distance. As well as truck shops and other truck services all nearby. I...Read More

Absolutely the worst of the bunch. 2 hours in line and still 4 in front of me. Talk to manager and she says understaffed and drivers taking long showers. Surely it wasn't the 1 maintenance guy that stayed in breakroom for 20 minutes a pop....Read More

The same password and paper has been on the women's bathroom floor since Wednesday night, it's now Friday day. I told the manager this, then waited in the store for over 30 minutes, thinking someone would atleast clean 1 stall but no. They did not....Read More

They've recently renovated. While in general it makes a nice gas station, they used to have a full arcade, a second floor with showers, and an extremely large shopping area containing not only food and drink, but amazing technology like bone conducting headphones. The new...Read More

The cinnamon roll was preboxed and once we wereon the road and I was very disappointed. The edges if the bun were hard, not sure if it was stale or bakes at too high a temperature. The center was squishy and didn't...Read More
