TA Travel Center

Nice people friendly faces this is a big truck stop but if you drive towards dallas a mile or two you will find a truck stop 10 times bigger

Love, love, love the way the employees talk about their customers calling them names (cuss words). Live, live, live the way the cashier wadded up my change before giving it to me. Is it because I’m white? Or female? Either way, not impressed.

They have LOTS of stuff! All we needed was some Kleenex to clean up my kid’s bloody nose (already have hand sanitizer). If I needing anything else in the world, I bet they’d have it. At first glance, everything seemed to be in stock — there was a lady stocking food & beverages as we came in. Other than the Kleenex being over priced (expected) this seems like a good stopping spot. Oh, the unleaded gas was only $ 1.99/gal too!

good food and quick in and out

Good place to stop for gas. Pretty easy off and back on to highway. The bathroom was large but smelled pretty bad. They need to install some serious air fresheners.
They have these 1 LB bags of beef jerky for $ 15. The brand is Wild Ride. It’s thick cut jerky and very smokey. Can’t beat the price of $ 15 for a pound of jerky!

When stopping for bathroom breaks on a road trip, this place is like Heaven. I hate stopping at random gas stations or even fast food joints as the bathrooms are anything from iffy to downright disgusting. I once stopped at a gas station which appeared to be nice on the outside, but when I walked in there was hardly anything on the shelves. Three small town folk sat at a table and were obviously displeased with my arrival. I walked passed a running washer and dryer into the bathroom which consisted of sheets of plywood for stalls and doors. I’ve been afraid to stop just about anywhere ever since.
This TA Travel Center has a huge bathroom with multiple, metal stalls which are on par with those you may find in a nice restaurant or movie theater.
You can find food here at various restaurants and even a diner called Country Fare which also offers fudge and other confections made in house.
This will definitely be my go to place for bathroom breaks when traveling through this part of the state.

A slow Ta. For a late dinner. Had a cook take my order, the waitress could not get the job right! She was killing time so she could leave a 22;00. And on the stroke of 10Pm she was in her car! Food was fair, night waitress was 100 times bettter…

I made a stop here around 3 in the morning on my way to shreveport La to do a little bit of gambling. Lets just say they are some very interesting characters at that time of the night.

On my way out of Texas!
Not as bad as they said it was going to be. I was told that I would be in Texas for at least two days. Nope. Just a total of one day. Half one day, then half the other. Stopped in this spot for gas as I looked forward to zipping through Louisiana. Along I-​10 and 20, I wondered where all the Stuckey’s were that were along the road when I was a kid traveling with my family. Perhaps they were replaced by all the Love’s and TA Travel Centers. I saw plenty of these on our journey. The TA Travel Centers offer gas and food, much like the 7 – 11’s back in the day. As I was getting gas, another couple that were traveling pulled up behind me for gas and noticed my California license plates. They asked what part of California was I from. I said Long Beach and they said that they were from Carson. I noticed their Texas plates and asked how long they had been in Texas and they replied, «about 10 years.» When asked where I“fellowshipped” in Long Beach, I was dumbfounded and told him that I sometimes frequented a neighborhood church.
I was warned about the bible belt.
I think I just got wrapped around the neck with it.
