We look forward to stopping here a couple times a year when we are traveling. We are always happy to have the food choices and the dining room tables are clean! The bathrooms are nice as well. They also have a wide variety of road-trip snacks-and a large selection of gifts and novelty items!
I loved this venue! It is huge, organized, and clean! I found the food court very enjoyable and I was happy to see that they had a full sized restaurant available for everyone. We stopped here, because we needed a Shell gas station and we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful atmosphere! This feels like going into a little wonderland! Food, souvenirs, clothing, fresh foods, warm pastries, clean restrooms, a big food court with big multi chain restaurants, and they even have full sized restaurant! It is a proper travels experience!! I grew up loving truck stops and this has to be a top 10 for me! It's a warehouse sized shopping center in my brain. I can't believe that I drove by the big Light House out front and never stopped during my travels. I am now making it a point to add it to my stops when traveling on I-95!!! Don't miss this opportunity to stop and share your experience! God bless your travels! And thank you to the heroes that keep this 24 hour venue so amazing
The quick and dirty: This place has everything! A must stop if you're traveling on 95. After a long drive from the mid-Atlantic, we needed a place to refuel ourselves and the car. We'll this was the place to do just that - we had a little bit of fun, too. The store has all of the convenience store offerings but also has truck and auto supplies, gift shop, first aid - you name it! Pricing was pretty fair on gas and merchandise. We had a lot of fun walking around. The only thing missing was an area for dogs to play or use the bathroom.
You can get any and everything here for a skillet fried chicken dinner to chrome pipes for a big rig! I hear people talk about Bucee's as the ultimate truck stop/gas station but I think that's only because they haven't seen Kenly's. Where else can you find not one...but two FULL SIZE 18 wheelers INSIDE the store! Wow!
So I was almost done with my review and then, poof, it disappeared. We have passed by this rest stop several times traveling up north and back. It appears to be a rest stop with all sort of sparkle to the eye. I would not say it was an absolute intention to stop here; it was more of when we need gas, food, restrooms, etc., we will stop here if it is convenient. The first time we stopped here was late at night. You do not realize from the road how much is really here, in one spot. The parking lot is huge. There are plenty of gas pumps as well. Hubs went inside to use the restroom and grab a coffee. He came out and just told me to go inside and check it out without giving me any details or emotion lol. Yeah it is pretty overwhelming when you walk in the door! It looks like the size of a supermarket or warehouse. There are some fast food restaurants located inside. I figured I would use the restroom since I was there. That took a minute to locate and when I did, it was clean and had plenty of stalls. I then browsed the aisles. They had everything you can think of! Apparel, auto parts, Christmas ornaments, souvenirs, weapons, snacks, drinks, toys, decorations, etc. We stopped here again on the next road trip, during the day. I went to use the restroom, grab a coffee, bought some flip flops, and inquired about lotto, which they did not sell. The cashier was friendly and personable. The prices were somewhat reasonable. It is a truck stop so I'm sure it is very convenient for those drivers.
Growing up there was slight excitement stopping at Truck stops, yet Kenly 95 takes the cake as I felt like I was inside an amusement park. Although the food court was closed due to C-19, the Drive Thru is still fully functioning - Wendy's (24 Hours), Iron Skillet, Dairy Queen & Subway to name a few. There are still other Grab n Go food options readily available. Amongst this huge food/gas/gifts/shower/clothing/fleet wash stations, this is home to the annual East Coast Truckers Jamboree...postponed until next year. I then realized the premise of an actual truck being on display in the lobby & all related truck memorabilia. Perhaps one of the cleanest public restrooms I've utilized. We were here around Midnight & the small hand of employees working & via walkies extended welcoming service. Kenly 95 is located just outside of Kenly, North Carolina along I-95...hence the name perhaps.
What a great stop along interstate 95 whether going south or north. This place has everything even if you aren't a truck driver. You can get food and snacks here. Gas or diesel fuel of course and they have all kinds of souvenirs and other unique products. Lots of truck parts as well.
Super cool place to stop when your traveling I95 and need a break or food. Tons & Tons of stuff to check out under one roof. It's a truckers paradise for sure. There's quite a few places to eat that's open as well. Bathrooms were large and clean
Too cool for a simple gas station! Clean restrooms, sit-down dining options, accessories for your car or truck, and a welcome respite for kids who have been sitting in the back seat of a car for several hours. And free wi-fi for downloading podcasts to sustain you for the rest of your trip!
I'm not one for truck stops and typically will avoid at all cost when on the road. The why is obvious as they are typically everything we do not want in a fuel, restroom break from the road. However, Kenly 95 Petro may just be one of the best truck stops I've ever been to. This is coming from a non trucker. Parking was adequate in front and the lot had only minor debris. The area at the entrance tidy. There is a cool photo op area in front with a light house and Kenly 95 on it. There is plenty of fueling pumps in the rear. I did not need gas on this stop and cannot speak to this area. Kenly has multiple food options including a nicer sit down restaurant and a few fast foods like DQ and Wendy's. The food court type area was clean. Our family elected to hit up DQ and Wendy's both and found them both above average. Restrooms are in the massive merchandise area. They were clean with proper supplies. But there is much, much more like the incredible truck displays, especially the hot Pink Peter Built rig on "display" in front with lights flashing. There is a full 18 wheeler and pick up trucks on wall displays. We are not talking Matchbox here, these are real life size vehicles. The amount of merchandise on the floor is staggering and of course trucker, road related. Even mattresses for the sleeper rigs. They also have other conveniences for drivers who live on the road. A gym, a barber, TV room and of course showers. I may have missed something, but everything I saw was clean and darn cool. I did not purchase anything and did not have any type of staff interaction. Looking for one of the best truck stops you may ever run across while traveling, check out Kenly 95.
We were headed to Myrtle Beach and stopped here for gas and to use the restrooms. Most places off the interstate are seedy but the restrooms here are super clean. They have a lot of food selection (DQ, Wendy's, Taco Bella, Pizza Hut etc). Great place to stop if you are headed to the Beach. read more

Glad we got off to buy gas at the BP. This place has everything you need especially in the kenly 95 building. And meet all your grocery needs for the road plus there are other restaurants, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Iron skillet restaurant, Dairy Queen, Wendy's, subways. The place is pretty clean and the bathroom was decent. Oh, and they also have Tums if you need them! read more

I specifically chose this place to stop, visit and stay all because of the lighthouse. However, the interior, service and offerings were a bonus! read more

Big truck stop with a huge gift store. The cashier was very busy this morning but keep up with the line and friendly. The bathrooms weren't very clean last night (only 1 stall was usable - some were broken, some filthy, and half were closed off on one side so you couldn't get to them. The girl was in "cleaning" this morning but didn't smell any disinfectant or cleaner at all. Floors hadn't been mopped in a while looked like. Paper towel dispenser gives out 3 inches of paper....seriously? Got to do better! read more

OK, Need a place to stop off driving up or down I-95 ? Here it is. This place has it all, Burger King and a Subway inside with a large inside dining courtyard area. Also you have The Open Skillet Restaurant. Hey if you need souvenirs, they have thousands to pick from. Collectible items, T-Shirts, Clothes, Western Wear, Boots, just to name a few. Oh yea, you can get chrome for your truck from The Chrome Shop. Need Accessory lights, the have hundreds of them. Just about anything to do for cleaning your vehicle they have. They carry Motorkote a hyper lubricant for your engine and gas tank. For those Truckers, showers, Barber Shop and a Theater can be had here. The place is so clean you can eat off the floor, I mean everywhere ! They call it The Lighthouse because of the lighthouse out front. You will not be disappointed if you stop here. read more
Huge rest stop. The merchandise are is huge, with semi trucks on display. Don't bring you're kids to this area, unless you're ok with them seeing stuff they want to buy or get into. The restrooms are nice and well taken take care of. read more

#This is the most amazing rest stop we've stopped at during our week long road trip. Good selection of fast food restaurants in the food court, like #Wendy's and #Taco Bell. Prices were on the recommended retail price level. Not jacked up like at other rest stops. So much #cool truck parts you can buy. This is like the Container Store of truck parts. If you love walking around the #Container Store looking at containers, then this is like that but for truck parts. read more

This place is Huge, great for a stop to stretch your legs, grab something to eat or pick up a last minute gift. They have a nice selection of locally made jarred goods and their boiled peanuts are no joke. There is a subway, Wendy's, coffee spot and a few other places to eat inside and to put its size into perspective there are 2 semi trucks inside and they just blend right in. read more

Huge building with lots of merchandise, cold drinks to 16-wheeler equipment to small souvenirs. Bathroom was clean and roomy. Food court is huge, includes Wendy's, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and a Subway. Gigantic restrooms sign as soon as I walked in because they knew exactly what I needed after a long drive. read more
