If you are visiting from out of town, this is the best place to relax, drink a beer, get some food and play some casino games in a bright clean and friendly atmosphere. (Great place for parents dropping their kids at college or visiting their kids!)

Sorry to say that the deep fried appetizers, onion rings and mini corn dogs, looked burnt and…read moredidn't taste good. I sent them back and they came out just as bad. One cost $7 and the other one $8. After that I changed my mind and did not order an entree. I had to go back on my word that I was taking my grandson out for lunch. The place could have been a whole lot cleaner. I wouldn't say it was filthy but I wouldn't say it was clean. The menus were actually sticky and had food and gunk stuck to them. The waitress was perky and friendly and running around doing her best to keep everyone attended to. When I told her that the food she brought out was subpar and I wasn't happy with it, she said that it was fine but she would get me replacements. It was moments later she came back with food that looked exactly the same. I told her that I wasn't convinced it wasn't the same food... I swear it was just a burnt as burnt looking as before but it turned out she was right. This time the mini corn dogs were burnt on the outside and still frozen in the middle. My son-in-law, the chef, tells me that it was because the oil was old and rancid. Apparently this gives all food the appearance of being burnt with a bad taste. What I didn't appreciate was that I was asked to pay for food that anybody would have raised an eyebrow at and treated like I was the problem. The cook even came out of the kitchen and tried to nonchalantly check out who I was. When I met her I she gave me a dirty look and marched back off into the kitchen. Not recommended. I won't ever go back. If they don't know enough to know that they're serving people bad food or have the professionalism to own up to it when they have, then I have no time for them.

That's nice, and you know when you can rely on a place to have everything that you need and clean bathroom, It's pure magic. Most loves travel stops. Have a bathroom in the far right hand corner when you walk in. There's some variation to this , but most of the time , that's where you know to go when you gotta go. There are usually one or more fast food restaurants located inside the loves. Oftentimes it's a subway or chester's chicken, Sometimes it's something else. But if none of this suits your fancy, there's always stuff located in the middle. Here you can find boiled eggs for a cup of fruit. Perhaps even a yogurt. You can also grab a shower here or supplies for your telephone if that's what you need, so be sure to swing in when you're on the road , you won't be disappointed.

We were greeted immediately. Menu consists of mostly pizza (wide variety with many unique offerings) and burgers. I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered an Arnold Palmer and tots. The AP was a bit watery but that may have been due to a variety of reasons. The tots were fine - could've been crispier but the price was definitely reasonable. My friend got a pizza which has a thin-ish crispy crust / good flavor! They've got a variety of canned beverages, coffees, bar drinks (with a specialty menu which is always a plus in my opinion!) and ice cream. Definitely a unique spot for a small town.
