Hi management,Great job hiring. Went to the subway and the main store today. All employees had a good heart. Very friendly. Very professional. What a nice change from some other truck stops. Thank you

The card reader at the pump did not work. The card readers on the washers/dryers did not work. The cashier refused to give me quarters for the washers/dryers from my card so I had to pay a $4.25 fee at the ATM in order to get cash so that I could get quarters for the washers/dryers. The machines ate some of my quarters so I ended up being overcharged for doing my laundry. Half of the washers were out of order. I took a shower and there was no soap provided. This was one of the worst experiences I have had at a TA/Petro.

In this travel center Subway girls staff are cooperative with everyone specially today I have visited around 6:45 or 6:50 pm and other hand Pizza Hut one lady staff look like less than 5 foot, thick white lady are not properly cooperating with customers specially look like Indian drivers,today she told to me that she need 20 minutes for take my order for pizza not for make pizza and told me that you need for side for order on counter. Only this lady waste the time of look like Indian driver. I want to suggest to TA management or Owner note that type of staff and keep out that type staff and appointment the better qualified staff who cooperate & understand drivers time values and respect.

This TA is waaay busier than the Petro across the freeway. I put Shell gas and the pump area was very dirty. Trash was over filled, pumps look like they have never been cleaned. The exterior lot needs some TLC. The interior was a bit more clean. Prices were high for drinks and snacks. Nothing shocking considering its a truck stop. The Womans restroom was clean, but there is quite a large gap in the door where people can look into your stall while you are using the restroom. Cashiers were not friendly and just didnt seem like they cared for their jobs. Maybe they were having an off day. I felt as the the Petro was way cleaner, nicer staff and way less busy.

Review №13

Stopped here thinking i was stopping at a big profesional truck stop well at this store i was mistaken. Went inside to prepay fuel told him pump number which was 6 told him twice but since he was talking to another employee didnt pay attention and put the wrong pump. Go outside pump not working and then says i said 8 i was like no sir my truck has not moved been on 6 for like 20 minutes now because i havent got my fuel. Then he says that someone took my fuel and they dont have cameras or anything and continued to say that there was no manager to fix the situation and that i needed to talk to my credit card company and dispute the charge. Tried calling manager several time with no answer. Him and the co worker there do not know what they are doing and someone need to get that fixed. Will never stop at this TA again and another one across the country. Sorry but that situation would should have been fixed and never did he say it was his fault. He kept blaming me that i said 8 but clearly my truck was on pump 6. Like i said you would think a big name Like TA would have more professionalism but i guess i was completely wrong. Will stick to Pilot and Loves.

This place is a rip off and far away from truck lot. This place isnt convenient for semi truck driver thought fully who spend the big bucks on purchases. Everything is super over priced. Taco bell subway and Popeyes are expensive and you dont get the worth at all. Not stopping at this truck stop ever again.

The Fountain Drink Ice machines ice at truck fuel and service store taste like cooking grease. Cooking from kitchen area is tainting the ice machine. Seriously unacceptable when you waste a $3.00 drink on some nasty tasting ice!!!!!!!

The shop Forman that worked the shop today is very unprofessional. Had a driver go in for repairs, was told he had 2 trucks ahead of him. There was 2 trucks in the bay already. 2 more trucks went in after. My driver goes back in and was told he still had 2 trucks ahead of him.

This is not about the t/a but black bear diner. Its worth the walk. Its next to the T/a. Good food and worth the price for what you get. Very friendly and fast service.

Review №22

This is one of the best truck stops out there. The parking lot is well paved, well lit and huge. Great place to do a few walking laps if so inclined. The store is nice and the restaurants typical but very clean. Its at the bottom of The Grapevine Hill. My guess is there will most always be parking available. Showered here and they were clean and well maintained. The only downside is that stupid TA redemption kiosk.

I used to like this place but showers are not cleaned very well. It’s not a hard job cleaning a shower. Water is more warm than hot, fans don’t work in shower. I used to split between the Petro and here but I’m going back to the petro. I’ve had 2 showers over 2 days and the cleaner is not doing a good job.

Love this place its always clean and the food is always hot and ready when you order it. Nothing sits around for hours on end. With such a good selection of food, your sure to get something for the whole family and everyone is happy.... Theres always the black bear dinner next door so they got a great selection of actual sit down food for you or your family..

Clean bathrooms. Several restaurant choices. Prices are reasonable for California and of course truck stops where everything is higher. Had taco bell here and they are not skimpy on contents put on their food. Was nice to see that for a change. They also have a Black Bear restaurant with a short walking distance if you want something different than usual truck stop food. Nice people working here also.

Clean! Nice looking! Plenty of gas pumps so no waiting. A good amount of parking. Your all in one stop! 4 different gast food places to choose from! Subway, Pizza, taco bell and Jack in the box. If thats not enough the gas station store has 100s of snack food choices! 100s of drink choices too. There is a large indoor area of tables to dine at and a few outside. Are you on your way to visit your Grand kids? They have toys too! I bought my grandson a Harley motorcycle toy from here and it quickly became his favorite! Across from the gas pumps is a grassy area to let dogs or kids out to run and play! Bathrooms are clean and there are TWO Womens bathrooms to one mens room. This place is so good that we stop here everytime we head North from Orange County. The picture is the view from the tables inside. You can see the tables outdoors and beyond the pumps is the grassy area. I did not notice any vagrants hanging out.

Had a long trip home and stopped by for some gas, snacks and a bathroom stop on 1/4/19. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean!!!! A young male finished cleaning them and they were in great condition. Really payed attention to detail and odor to it. Family has a cleaning business and was super impressed would have hired him. Even asked what products were used and complimented the work! Very nice, friendly, attractive young male. The front desk cashier was very friendly and fast! 5/5 starts!!!!

There’s always parking here. Starbucks and other food restaurants across the street a little bit of a walk. But after sitting in the drivers seat for 11-14 hours. A little walk won’t kill ya.

If you break down here and the shop cant help you, you have to tow your truck off the property to have a mechanic come out and fix it. F U TA/Petro. You lost my business for good.

Amazing location, gas and food. The place is clean and great customer service. For food, they have Burger King, Taco Bell and Pizza Hot in the room, but there is more on the other room. Snacks, sodas and too much stuff to say.Thank you TA for keeping this place amazing.

I’m more of a pilot guy because I think TA’s are a bit old fashion but I gotta say this TA is Clean! More modern for my taste. Lots of parking that I couldn’t decided where to park. Showers are like hotel rooms, very clean. They have BK, subway, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, and black bear next door.

Review №53

Plenty of food varieties in this ta tacobell and subway both.. trucker parking was empty and plentiful, with a huge open lot for plenty of space to maneuver with a 53 footer. Place was super clean, and it had constant security presence outside.. brightly lit as well which provided a safe environment in such a huge lot.

Review №56

This TA is pretty good, if your there b4 5am you wont even find any of the fast food open. 🤔 However at the fuel lanes they have a deli and it seems to be open all hours and they have pretty good breakfast tacos that are made fresh. 😁 There is a Black Bear Diner in the same lot and that is good also but a little pricey. 😉

I cant believe how nice and peaceful this TA is! Wow! Theres plenty of parking and youre either over the Grapevine out of LA area or youre right before you start to head over. This was my first time staying here and I liked it alot. I cant tell you anything about the store because I never went inside but like I said, theres plenty of parking spaces and its pretty darn quiet!

Great place to stop and rest.The parking lot is large and easy to get in and out off.There is places to eat here but if you dont like whats here there is a few other options at walking distance.This rest area is intended for the northbound traffic from the freeway and just west of this location is another rest area intended for the southbound traffic.

Place is usually organized and clean on every visit. Well see how this holds up now that there is an Outlet and other stores in the surrounding area. But this is a great location for the Northbound Travelers (Southbound Travelers will exit South Wheeler Ridge Road not Laval Rd) wishing to take a break and stretch them legs, arms, kids who just cant stand being in the car seat or for your Dog to take a break. In fact there is a small Dog Run just in between TA and Black Bear Diner in the back last time I remember. Happy Trails!

Shop is the Worst. No one in a,NY of the bays they say they will get you and we waited 3 hours only to go back in and be told the guy who wrote it all down didnt tell anyone else and left. My clock is burning they have no customers and still cant get around to it. Cant wait till Loves and Pilot expand their shops. TA does Not care about Drivers

I really had a pleasant experience. The service was curtious and friendly he paid close attention to the details of my selections for my sandwich. He answered all my questions politely and without hesitation... He even suggested I take the short survey offered on back of receipt to receive free cookie. I declined. Overall He definitely made my experience at Subway 💯 satisfied

Review №84

Place is really nice lots of parking and its clean however its really expensive even for a TA truckstop. The Taco Bell meal I usually buy at other TAs for 15 to 16 bucks cost me 22 bucks here. Didnt eat at the black bear diner but I probably could have cheaper than Bell. Thats rediculous. TA is for truckers but these folks aint for nuthin but pocket books.

Review №85

Paid for a reserved parking spot. Got to location and all spots were filled with non paying trucks so I did not get to use the spot I payed for. I called customer service who promptly called the general manager at the location and he not only refunded my money but also bought me a meal, which was unexpected but nice. Anyway this location is kept looking nice and has decent parking which is always good

Try them again to no avail, order Taco Bell paid just 30% more just because its a TA. Fabian assistant manager completely rude very short-sighted. Ordered a Mexican pizza which they turned on its side to put in the bag. Then argued that was perfectly acceptable. Run dont walk across the freeway to the freestanding facilities to eat at, much better food, much better quality and much better pricing.
