And I wanted to add more states to my list of visiting places. Quality/Quantity - Welcome center number 1. So why is this welcome center named West Memphis rather than Arkansas...? Good size, beautiful location. Amazing amount of information, good thing we also have Google and Trip Advisor, lol. Atmosphere - Welcome center hours - Open 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm; Yelp's hours differs slightly. Restrooms open 24 hours. Clean bathrooms. Service - Okay, not as welcoming as the other 3 welcome centers we visited. And all 3 other centers gave us welcome gifts! First experience as we have never gotten gifts before, now we know to ask. Price - Free, thank you! Owner Comment - Thank you Arkansas since 1836 for this beautiful welcome center.

On our last visit, the main area was closed...I don't know if that was a one-off or because it was Sunday. I would hope Arkansas would realize that people do have to travel on Sundays and there are hopefully people who would gladly work on that day.

It is on the official "Music Highway" which is the stretch of highway between Memphis AND is on the Rufus Thomas Walking the Dog Trail, gotta love it!! This I-40 West Rest Area is located just outside Jackson, TN. This rest area has alot to offer while traveling. It offers: restrooms, parking, picnic tables, telephones, and pet exercise areas. It's clean, neatly landscaped and has easy access with clear markings with lots of parking for cars and trucks alike Bottom line: Having been a life long music but, a radio guy and a 20+ year Me Memphis resident this i-40 rest area gets my vote for coolest named stop in the world because it's THE Isaac Hayes, Tina Turner, Booker T. and the Mg's Rest Stop! Yes way cooler!!

I have been so impressed with the rest stops during my road trip. When I began the road trip I…read morethought the rest stop areas were going to be awful and they have been just the opposite. This is another beautiful rest stop dedicated to Isaac Hayes, Tina Turner, and The MG's which is now on Yelp. Clean restrooms, maps, pictures and covered and uncovered picnic areas. The landscaping is well maintained, no pets allowed in the picnic area, vending and snack machines. Next, time you are traveling the I-40W Jackson, TN stop off at the mile marker 73 and rest. Welcome to Yelp.

This welcome center is on I-155 a few miles into the state. Separate areas for trucks and cars. The restroom was clean. Plenty of parking. There are "2 hour parking" signs here which seriously sucks. That is neither welcome nor helpful to those who are considering driving tired. [Review 2368 of 2024 - 553 in Tennessee - 23382 overall]

Wealth of information, especially on whiskey and wine trails, see pictures. Yeah, I did NOT expect to drink so much in Nashville... Atmosphere - Good size location. Clean large restrooms. Service - 5 stars, again so welcoming. And they even went out of their way to give us a "goody" bag. We got guitar picks! Not sure if you can see them in my picture, see in my photo. My daughter also plays the guitar. Price - Free. Owner Comment - Thank you again TN for such a great welcome to your State. We had such a great time here! And I am going to recommend you to all our friends.

Just fucking let people go to the bathroom (you know, with stalls) and stop assuming someone's genitals by how their hair looks. Sorry, I wasn't blessed with big titties unfortunately. But, like, people like me have been looking for women's and men's restroom signs for decades now. I know which one is which. Seriously, being so concerned where someone goes pee or poop is just so weird.

Bathroom for the ladies was clean. ( no photos for privacy reasons.) Even the park itself was nice and I loved the plants. I could easily pit stop here and enjoy a small picnic while traveling. The building itself had very true southern style house. The entrances to the breezeway and entrance. As well as the wrap around that goes to the back door.

"Red" button as I departed. Coffee was stocked though the attendant felt that now was the time to tidy and clean up. Okay, I worked around him and was able to get a large coffee creamered and through the ground-to-order machine. And then it went sideways. The young lady in front of me at the register was redeeming lottery tickets and the one young man was overwhelmed. As he continued trying to sort it out unsuccessfully, the line grew and grew. Now eight people waiting and for the first time ever, I abandoned the coffee. Maybe he's fine at keeping the store running when everything's good but he needs way more help with the lottery machine. Disappointing experience this morning. I'm not done with Love's - they're usually awesome - and I will eventually return to this one when I'm passing through Jackson. Hopefully they have this guy trained up by then. I don't feel right calling him out by name on Yelp. [Review 2303 of 2024 - 551 in Tennessee - 23318 overall]

People say that you have to pay to park, but I haven't seen anyone who would ask to pay or any signs. If you are bobtailing you can even park in front of the store. The place inside has a nice iron skillet restaurant. They really do serve some delicious food I miss buffet. Due to covid, they removed it from the restaurant. Its really sad. The showers are one of the cleanest one I've seen. I would give 10 out of 10 for the showers. 8 out of 10 for parking and of course 10/10 for food. By the way they serve pretty delicious breakfast. If you're not a trucker or you haven't been here, I would highly recommend visiting this place and try their delicious prepared food.
