Stopped here to have dinner. My husband had the French toast combo and I had the chicken tender dinner. The soup was nearly gone and they never replenished it like the waitress said she would, the salad had dead fruit flies ALL over it. Asked the waitress about a sauce and she said she had no idea what it was, even though she made it very known that she has been there for a year. I had to ask her more than twice for everything (spoon, ranch, syrup, etc.) The spoon was filthy, and she brought ONE tiny cup of syrup for a full order of French toast (6 pieces) and no butter. She wasn't coming back to check on us, so my husband had to get up to ask for more syrup and butter from the second waitress, who was very friendly, where as our waitress had attitude and acted dumb. As soon as my husband came back our waitress came back with the check saying whenever we are ready...even after him and I talked about dessert right in front of her. I felt rushed at that point. She never came to see how we were going. We honestly would have given the tip to the other waitress, but we had no cash so we had to tip with our card. On a plus note, the food was good, bathrooms were maintained, and good movies were playing. read more

Last few times I've been here there are no restrooms available. A handful of cars in the parking lot with no available restrooms. Wtf?

I used to camp in this area and this place was always a go to when we needed some things. I also drive the 5 A LOT and this place is great to stop by. I never tried the diner but as a kid we played in the arcade and sat and watched a movie for a bit. It was free and our parents wanted a longer break than normal from driving! I like this place. We Plan to stop here before other stations purposefully. read more

By far the worst service I've ever had from any petro. The employs are lazy as hell. The whole place smells like piss. I will never stop here again. And I will be wiping this company out from all my future buys to the best of my ability. read more

Hey Petro: I stop by your station several times a year to use the facilities which are very good, and ATTEMPT to buy gasoline, but in the last several months the credit card keypad does not work. I don't like to go into the cashier to pay because they try to up-sell me with stuff I don't want. So I go across the street to Chevron to buy gas. Can you please fix your machines. read more

Terrible service. The waitress told us to sit anywhere as she rushed passed us, came back five minutes later and threw two menus at us, even though there were five of us at the table. We waited another five minutes and no one came to our table, so we got up and left. We passed three employees on the way out and none of them said anything to us. read more

This is my least favorite of the Petros. It isn't a "real" Petro, it is a "Petro:2" It is cramped, dirty, and, mercifully, under reconstruction. Their showers were woefully inadequate. We have showered here twice. The first time, we spent 20 minutes looking for the porter to give us extra towels since we share a shower. Once we found her, we were "upgraded" to their Platinum Shower which are supposed to be set aside as the nicer, larger showers for those customers that buy over a million gallons of diesel in a year. Their Platinum Shower was also the wheelchair accessible shower which does not have a lip between the shower and the rest of the room, so the entire room flooded because the shower drain was not working properly. When I mentioned it, they we like, "oh, yeah ". The second time we showered there, the shower stall was so cramped, you couldn't wash your hair without bumping your elbows on the walls. Honestly, I have seen larger showers on cruise ships. Their service bays close from 2300-0700 so if you get a "good spot" thinking you have easy access to bathrooms in the middle if the night...no such luck. On the plus side, they do have "secret" bathrooms in the back read more

This place dose have everything under the sun but if your looking for a better price on gas, then go 3-4 mile's north on the highway 33 & there's 2 other national travel center's near the I-5 that has much the same to offer the traveler & save a few $'s gas. read more

Love To Stop Here When On Road Trip They Got Everything You'll Need On The Road....

This is for the truck lube shop. I needed some gear oil for the front diff on my Land Rover on the way back from Hollister off road park. The cashier in the convenience store mentioned I could check their truck lube shop since they didn't have any. Truck lube staff was friendly and they had the gear oil. I asked the shop tech to fill it for me and he did right then, no wait. I was done in 10 minutes. They only wanted payment for the bottle of oil, no labor charge, which was totally unexpected and awesome. I'll make it a priority to stop at this Petro when I'm on 5. Good customer service is rare these days -support it when you find it!! read more

My favorite Petro. Off the I-5 about a mile and great to get some good sleep. It's quite and dark and I never had a problem finding parking. Nice store inside and clean. read more

We stayed at the nearby KOA and stopped in for dinner around 5:30 pm PROS: -Retro decor, clean, lots of seating -Fast and courteous waitresses -Food: *Very good soup, bread and salad bar with fresh greens and plentiful selection of toppings/ingredients. *Menu: lots of choices, including all-day breakfast;. We had the steerburger with brown gravy and baked potato and it was a generous portion and good. *Price: two large dinners with soup/salad and two teas was about $25 total. CONS: -The cornbread that comes with the salad bar was obviously not made in house and was quite dry, but no big deal. They also provided dinner rolls but we didn't try those. In short, good diner food in a comfortable setting. We will come back. read more

We found this place heading to Disneyland great little break stop to ley your 2 year old run around for a while. We stop in and clean restroom the arcade was little but did the job, they have a movie theater, showers and a laundry room, the little snack shop was cool all sorts of stuff, you could even rent movies there.There's a diner with booths and a counter. The food is what you would expect for a truck stop diner. SO AFTER LOADING UP on gummy bears and chips off we went read more

We have been going here for two years. The other day they screwed up our entire order, it took over and hour and a half to get our food in the first place, my husband had to get up and refill his own drink behind the counter because even though there was 3 waitresses they were AWOL ( and the restaurant wasn't busy). The manager said she would make it right by comping the meals and then didn't. I could go on but you get the picture, this is not a good truck stop restaurant anymore. read more

I stop here every time when travel between LA and SF. Their restaurant with home made food is so good! Prices are affordable and staff is very friendly! read more

Multiple drives up in down I-5 have given me the opportunity to discover good and not so great amenities that exist on this long, mostly desolate stretch of highway. Petro 2 is one of the bright spots. They offer a lot of travel amenities because it's set up for truckers. The bathrooms are clean (and cleaned multiple times throughout the day). There's a diner with booths and a counter. The food is what you would expect for a truck stop diner. The convenience store is large and sells all the usual drinks and snacks as well as random stuff like stuffed animals, truck accessories, small electronics, etc. Some of the more interesting gifts include Mexican & Native American knicknacks in the glass cases. The selection is random and extensive enough so that you could probably buy someone a birthday present from the convenience store and they wouldn't know that you bought it at a truck stop. Other perks they offer that I haven't used are showeres and laundry. There's also a fairly good sized surrounding area for your dogs to pee. read more

worst exiting fuel station set up ever! there is barely any room for a truck to exit. price is way too high

The diner has a damn good sirloin steak. Cowboy cut 14oz. Cooked to perfection, dont even need steak sauce because the flavor was great on its own. Our waitress Angelica was top notch. Friendly, on top of everything and kept the refills coming. Plus, we got a discount on our meal today because my dad is a Veteran. They also had a memorial, the table for the fallen soldier. Very touching. That meant alot to my dad. They earned our repeat business. read more
