Normally when driving along the 401 we tend to stick to the super convenient new EnRoute service centres, and settle for generic fast food. On our most recent trip we attempted to stop at a service centre but couldn't even find a place to park, so we got back on the highway and decided to stop at the next exit, because we were tired and hungry. Cue the clouds parting and the angels singing, because we really lucked out!
This is a truck stop, but everyone is welcome. The food is sit down dinner standards, burgers and sandwiches and the like. They've got daily specials. The fries are "real" fries, not some reheated from the freezer fries. If you don't feel like fries you can sub salad or a soup. The waitresses are friendly and efficient. They bring you the bill and you pay at the cashier in the adjacent store. I love it, no waiting around!
If I could I would give it a solid 4.5. Everything is great except the bathrooms (at least the women's!). They could definitely use a freshening up, which is surprising considering the rest of the place seems super well maintained. Perhaps women don't form the core of the business? Normally I could care less about bathrooms, but considering this is a truck stop, its pretty important. So not the end of the world, but reason to not award 5 stars.
Overall I really enjoyed 10acre and would not hesitate to stop again. read more
