    a person eating breakfast at a restaurant

    Very delicious place! Although it is inside of a gas station customer service was great Fast seating Food arrived fast. Pancakes were the best part.

    Stopped here late at night on our drive down to SoCal from Seattle. What an interesting place! We've never seen a restaurant set up like this place, which is definitely tailored to truckers and career drivers. It was kind of cool to see their buffet and counter set-ups, very unique. We got service from a few different staff and they were all so friendly and kind. If I was working those hours I'd be exhausted and grumpy, but everyone working here was very chipper. The food itself was decent diner style fare, nothing overly special but definitely not bad!!

    After reading the reviews, I still had doubts; however, since my buddies and I were already here, we thought we would give it a try. When we came inside, a waitress told us to find any seating we wanted, which were quite plentiful. Although there were plenty of workers there, we didn't get menus at all, so we ended up grabbing some after five minutes of waiting. After we were inside for 10 minutes, we were finally asked about drinks. After another 5, two waters came as requested, but mine took an additional 5. A friend and I got the buffet. The other had steak and eggs, ordered medium rare; however, that didn't came out as requested, but instead came medium well. The meat tasted quite normal as any Denny's could possibly serve. The toast, eggs, and hash browns, all normal. Nothing spectacular. So, how about our buffets, right? The best part was the beginning. The salad. It was just downhill from there. I tried a little of everything to figure out what was good... NADA! Maybe just the chicken enchilada was good; everything else, just decent or below average. The salsa (pico de gallo) tasted like it was made 5 days ago. The fried chicken, although I got it minute after it came out the kitchen, tasted like it was reheated. The roast beef was dried out, so they left it in the au jus liquid to rehydrate it for your pickings. The mash potatoes were decent.. As well as the sauces, both white and brown. The meat loaf is the only protein that might be worth it, but age does nothing wrong to it, so cannot tell if its old for that flavoring to occur. Ok, I was wrong on one thing, the baked chicken was actually the best protein. It was freshly out the kitchen and tasted as so!!! Only part of the buffet that was right, other than the clean salad bar! NOTE: If you go here, enjoy the ride... Cause it is definitely a sketchy wooden coaster. Tip: Skip the soups and desserts altogether.

    This cozy little spot is right off the i5. One of the best litter diners I have ever been to. Lovely atmosphere, great coffee, good deals

    This is the BEST diner I have ever been to. Delicious food at great prices. CLEAN Restrooms!! I love the atmosphere and prompt, friendly service. The coffee was transcendent. We really want to try that all-you-can-eat Breakfast buffet next time we come. They have a very impressive menu, with lots of options. Kids eat free on Sundays. For Road-trips up and down the i5, the location is extremely convenient.

    This is one of those times where I should have trusted my gut feeling, and not Yelp. Even though the Denny's across the street received less than stellar reviews, even less than Iron Skillet, I know that Denny's will at least be somewhat good. The gas station restaurant looked nice, but both the food, and the service were lacking. Our waitress said "Hi.", and I'm pretty sure that's the extent of our entire conversation with her. She was like a robot. The food might have been bountiful, but it was also bland. I ordered the veggie omelet, with a side of grits, and whole wheat toast. The grits tasted as plain and boring as you can get, even after adding butter, and seasoning it with pepper. The omelet looked bad, and tasted worse. Again, the flavor was simply not there. If nothing could taste like anything, it would be this. The best part of the meal was the whole-wheat toast, and even that was bad. I would highly recommend checking out Denny's across the street. The reviews might not be so good, but it's still more than likely you will have a better experience.

    Soup, salad and breakfast bar.

    We were traveling back home and decided to grab a bite to eat. The waitress came to our table right away and took our drink orders. She returned a short time later and took our food orders. I had the biscuits, sausage gravy and two over medium eggs. A very hefty serving size. Everything was good and we both enjoyed the food.

    This place is not good anymore. Used to be really good before COVID. Now it's not so good and it takes forever.

    Had a real bad meal last night. Ran out of clam chowder, only 5pm. The hamburger was cold and hard to eat. The shrimp was over cooked.

    This past Saturday I drove down to Redding to meet a client and what better place to grab breakfast out in the boonies than at a truck stop?

    I was charging my rental Tesla in the parking lot, and Starbucks had a long line. I saw this place…read morehad Boba tea, which I enjoy, so I came in here instead. The place is clean and everybody was friendly. The food is on a cafeteria type line, you just pick out what you want, and then they serve it to you and you take it to your table. I can't speak to the main dishes, themselves, as I just came in for a Boba tea. I did see that they also had wontons on the line, so I also did an order of wontons as a snack. The wontons were wonderfully crispy, and not greasy at all, and they were very generous with the portion. I liked the sweet-and-sour sauce, it was sweet and just a little bit tangy. I had the Matcha milk tea, it was creamy and had a wonderful flavor. It's hard to describe the flavor of Matcha, but I do like it. It was a bit sweet, and just a bit savory. They asked me if I wanted the Boba pearls, which I did because I like them a lot, and they were very generous with them. A milk tea and an order of wontons was only nine bucks. Extremely reasonable. Thank you for a nice stop.

    The service was incredibly slow. The restaurant was packed and DoorDash was flowing in and out as…read morewell. A party of 3 was seated next to us and the man was visibly under the influence. He was loud and was making odd gestures. The staff seemed unaware. We ended up asking for our food to go. I was not offered any compensation after I explained the situation. The curry was delicious and the fresh rolls were great. I will never eat there again. The inexperienced staff had no idea how to handle the situation.
