Though Yelp has them listed only as Exxon, this is in fact an entire Pilot Truck Stop. That includes a few showers, bulk DEF, tons of parking for both trucks and cars and separate fuel lanes for trucks and cars. The downside would be that, apparently, truckers have to pay $10 to park overnight. I suppose this helps keep the riff raff out.
While the lot itself is clean and clear of debris, the surrounding woods and nearby pond are heavily littered from overflowing and blowing trash over time. It's practically an environmental travesty. The silver lining? There's a greenway - the Northeast Texas Trail directly behind the lot and accessible via a small informal cut-through. Here you could walk for miles, if you wanted, and stretch the legs from your long drive.
Inside there is plenty of food to choose from, snacks, drinks, tchotchkes, etc. It's clean and things move quickly and smoothly, for the most part. There's a substantial food court, lots of Texas-themed stuff and a Denny's restaurant attached (where I ate a pretty good meal and took a much needed rest from driving). I also liked the Go Loco burrito bowl which I got on a previous stop through here.
It's worth a break to stop by here, but beware the golf cart guy - he watches everyone like a hawk. I never got nagged for leaving my car parked for over an hour, but then again I was a paying customer getting gas and food. Seems a little ridiculous for them to harass their potential customers. If you can ignore that, it's not so bad. read more
