Drivers … what would you do?
I twisted the key at 1:30a.m. in central Minnesota. Four drops, two in Tennessee, one in Georgia, the last in Miami. On my 30 minute break, I started crunching numbers. How far can I push it to try and get both Tennessee drops off? 727.6 miles, do a 10 and I’ll make the first drop when they open!
Starved! I read the reviews on this place during that 30 and put it in the wind. I could barely wait. Not many of the good old mom and pop truck stops left. As it turns out, this one was sold too, but rather than changing the name, they just ride the coattails of the last owner. The waitress was as kind as they get. I wish more places had waitresses this understanding and I reassured her that this was definitely not her fault! I did look through the pictures of past travelers and noted that there were a few things in disrepair. Walking in the convince store entrance, I wasn’t five feet in the door and could smell the restroom. I eased towards the restaurant and noticed a game room. Nope, it’s stacked full of products for the convince store. Boxes of items scattered all over the floor. The shopper/magazine rack looked like a tornado hit it! Moving on to the restaurant I took a seat. Quickly greeted and handed a menu. Very polite and tentative to service. I took a few extra minutes reading over the menu. Then some other guests came to the counter and were complaining about bitter potato salad. Then a driver on the other side of me was served his meal. Pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy with green beans. I was blown away. Still surfing through the menu I kept glancing at those chops. I’d be a fool not to try those! “I’ll have exactly what he has!”
If you look close in the first picture, I sampled the mashed potatoes and gravy immediately before adding salt and pepper. Instant potatoes and I assume the same for the gravy. I cut into the closest chop and it had great flavor. But I could see blood on the top chop, so I cut into it! Yeah! Sorry, I love rare beef, but definitely not pork. Just far too many things tossing out a series of red flags that was screaming Gordon Ramsey needs to pay a visit. I apologized to the kind waitress and proceeded to the KitKat section for supper!
Everyone is entitled to have a bad day. This simply wasn’t what I was expecting. $17+ for instant potatoes?
Maybe if a few employees took the time to put the inventory away rather than talking on the phone while trying to ring up customers. Possibly peal some real potatoes, they aren’t that expensive! As beautiful as those pork chops looked, gravy should be made from the fat rendered from the COOKED pork chops! Rant over!
Only issue was the men’s restrom. It smelled bad, urinals didn’t flush, the privacy walls cacked in “something” and the soap dispensers didn’t have any soap. (This restroom is located in the convenience store side of the building). My wife ad daughter said the women’s restroom was pleasant it just so happens it is on the restaurant side of the building. So I am not taking any points off on Marv because she is busy running the show on the floor. Marv is the best.
