The parking lot is significantly cleaner than previously stated, Im guessing staff got the place cleaned up, all the trash cans outside freshly emptied and lot spotless aside from the grass behind the trailers. McDonalds was great and the bathrooms were alright. Much better experience than the reviews suggested. Taking two stars off for the amount of reserve parking vs free parking.

Clean, efficient, well-stocked and friendly place. Showers: clean, towels, soap, power outlet, and fan - no shower curtain so put your stuff on the counter or it will get wet.

Inside was nice. The McDonald’s and Pilot staff was professional and courteous. However, I don’t think the parking lot has ever been cleaned one time. Every trash was over flowing as well. A nice place to be this trashy.

I just spent $614 for fuel, and female inside wanted to charge me $0.15 for styrofoam cup. I would like to see a price list with styrofoam cup on it. This never happened to me in over 15 years of fueling on Pilot. I think Pilot made enough money from me to be able to “give” me styrofoam cups few times a year. Someone should’ve explain to her work ethics and correct way to prove herself as worker and representative of her employer, and be useful to it.

Stopped to use the bathroom and found out that they (the bathrooms) were closed, with no ETA on when they would open - just not within an hour at the time. They had no alternative or other option, but they did have time to print door flyers stating this. Employees said this was a daily occurrence- how do you have a truck stop, especially one that sells food, with no restrooms? Not only is this annoying and unacceptable, I believe its also illegal. At least, making a pattern of it has to be. Im very disappointed.

Stopped here for fuel and shower over night. The shower head was clogged badly with calcium and leaked very badly. It was stuck on jet mode, I couldnt turn it to switch to a more soft shower mode. The lock was busted, so I could lock the door. There is a Loves 12 miles from here. I will go there next time.

Its like being in Michael Jacksons Thriller video if all the zombies were truckers. I thought I had stumbled onto the set of The Walking Dead for a moment. Sometimes its scary to see whos driving some of those big semis! The cashiers were nice though.

One of the better pilots ive come across. Friendly staff always working hard to get you on your way. My only issue here is that they are slightly understaffed at times.

Review №27

I loved it. Generally I rate franchise stops like this as 4 stars unless they are measurably better (or worse) than other same-brand stops, and this one was great. I also really like Pilot because they definitely understand and get the type of snack stuff you like on road trips right, and they make sure they stock it all. Its also great and well equipped for the professional drivers as well as the traveling public. You cant go wrong with a Pilot in my opinion, and this one was one of the best examples to boot. Highly recommended.

Review №28

Most Pilots are small compared to Flying J, & they would be awesome if they offered perks, & variety like Loves, & TAs. If your company restricts you to fueling here, & they dont have what you need you have to make an extra, inconvenient, time consuming stop at one of the other truck stops. I know there has to be competition, but, I believe other drivers would pay a little extra for the convenience of getting everything when they fuel. Im just, a regular Joe, but, I think if the CEO was really, hungry like Jeff Bezos, & Elon Musk; hed step up his game, get the extras, & there by harvest the extra $ from said drivers. But, you are the shark you do what you want to.

Review №29

Well across the street at the Indiana racing and casino I stopped playing for a few minutes on the casino floor to go across the street to this pilot center to get a snack and to use the ATM because the ATM at the casino charges twice as much as a normal ATM. This pilot center was clean, I checked the bathrooms they were also clean and the stalls were all clean and I didnt have any funny smell. The sinks are clean and there was not trash everywhere in the bathroom. Of course I only check the mens bathroom. On top of having just regular gas station type of food in there they also have like a travel center where theres headphones CDs DVDs car accessories and different things like that. Basically in normal pilot center. The only unique thing I saw about this pilot center as it it of course has a McDonalds and a cinnabon on the premises. because it has a cinnabon the entire place smells like a great big cinnamon roll which is incredible it makes the atmosphere very good. The reason I gave it three stars does the same reason I give anything less than 5 stars and that is the staff. While I was in there I saw the manager, who was wearing a very dirty trucker hat, talking on the phone to a friend wow to other employees for requesting that he fix their time cards, he was ignoring them and telling his friend that two people at work were bothering him. I thought it was some type of joke but come to find out now this was actually happening. This was all while I and two other people were in line waiting to buy something. Whenever the lady did get to me she never talk to me or look at me instead the whole time she argued with her manager about changing our time while another employee on the other side of her who was not helping the three people behind me argue with him about changing his time as well and all this while the actual manager was on the phone making fun of both of them at the same time. It was pretty amazing. Amazingly horrible of course. Besides the staff everything else was great.

I didnt eat here. But I must say that I was very impressed with the Cashier that helped me. She was so kind and helpful. I was there looking for a charger for my cell phone that I could use in my vehicle. I looked all around and was getting frustrated that I couldnt find one. I figured they had them, but I am old and struggle with things like this now.Well she left her register and took me where they were and helped me get one. She told me to keep my receipt and when I checked it out to see if it was the right charger, and if it didnt work, just to bring it back and we would keep looking until we found one that did work. However, the one I bought worked! She saved the day for me! I was in dire need of one. So thank you Pilot for hiring this caring Cashier. She is definitely as asset to Pilot!!

This particular pilot is small and not set up for RVs. Ended up not getting diesel because it was too crowded. Could not navigate the pumps with a tow car.

Review №34

Bathrooms are clean. Good snack selection. The staff was too busy chatting to greet us when we got to register and the cashier didnt even look at us until I was handing her cash. But, otherwise, a good stop. Pilot is my favorite convenience/gas trip on road trips. They have clean bathrooms and good coffee usually. This was no different. Clean facility in general.

Restrooms, both mens and womens, are inoperable as are the showers as well. I was notified by the clerk that the problem was sewage backup. McDonalds is closed as well, because Pilots water is off and were tired into their systems. By far the worst experience Ive had at any truck stop in the decade that Ive been out here. I will not be back here again!

Review №38

The cashless Kool-Aid brainwashing is strong with this manager. She threatened me with police and arrest for trespassing just for pointing out that the coin shortage is a hoax. Avoid this place like the plague. They dont take cash at all, so if you value your freedom, dont go there.

We filled up with gas. Pumps were fast. The window washer solution was full and fresh. Then ordered I side at McDonalds. No problems. Restroom was clean and smelled pleasant. All employees were nice!

Review №40

The people that have worked on third shift for years have disappeared, and now the store has gone to hell. Allowing drivers to sit for 30 mins at the pumps, no washer fluid or brushes in the buckets for the drivers, bathrooms filthy, never any coffee, the place just looks dirty now. Someone needs to step up and get this place back together, we will not be returning until something is done!

Do not brush your teeth or wash your eyes at this Pilot, because there is no paper towels in the restroom

Review №42

Dont get me wrong This place has nice staff. However it also has limited parking in contrast to the amount of truck traffic that it receives and thus at night or during inclement weather your chances of finding a parking spot is slim to none. For the most part the parking is arranged around the the outside edge of the parking lot.They have a cinnabon and a McDonalds and are located only a few thousand feet west of the Kroger Distribution center

The cashier said welcome when we walked in which is memorable. The bathrooms were as clean as they could possibly be. The food all looked fresh and the other people working there were really nice. All in all it was obvious they have a great manager at that location. Definitely will be stopping there again.

Review №46

The atm machines never want to read my card. The food is either burnt or still cooking the drink machine is empty the cheese/chili dispenser hardly ever works and I can never get the staff to fix any of these things during my half hour lunch. The only thing they are good at is gas.Edit: 3 years later and now it takes 15 min or more to fill my tank and they refuse to turn up the pumps. Im done with them.

When youre traveling, this is where you want to stop. The restrooms are clean, the people that work there are helpful and friendly, the food is comfort food, but good none the less. There is a huge selection of things to drink. You can fill up the car too.

Review №55

For a quick in and out pit stop/fuel stop the Pilots are hard to beat. They feature good, HOT coffee (if it aint fresh, just ask theyll make another batch). Clean store, all kinds of snacks, nicnacks, and of course trucker gear. Clean restrooms, and 7/24 fast-food. Easy access from the big road (the Interstate for you non-truckers).

Review №59

Pilot and Flying J are a quick convienant place to stop if you are a company driver. Overpriced fuel and banking .01 cents a gallon on diesel is a great way to punish your employer and bank a free Big Mac at the same time. Dont forget to park at the fuel pumps for a half hour while grabbing your food and taking your 30 minute break, its awesome watching my 14 hour clock count down as I watch you pull your 300lbs and your bag of burgers back into your truck.

I stopped here on my way to ohio because my tire pressure light came on. It was pouring down rain with tornado warnings! I was unable to fill one of my tires after 2 attempts using the air machine. I went inside and asked if they had a service center for cars or only trucks. The manager asked what the issue was and told me to hang on. He contacted the roadside service truck. The man drove to my car, filled my tire, and checked the pressure a few times. No charge! Saved my vacation! Everyone was friendly and helpful. I am very appreciative of the wonderful service and help! Thank you all so much!

The travel store was nice. The staff were very quick to open registers to keep the lines flowing. They were quick to greet everyone coming in. The showers were clean but small. The McDonalds in this Pilot was not as nice every table was dirty. The condiment area was filthy and every trash can was overflowing. Also a McDonalds staff member was smoking outside and came back to the registers handling food without washing her hands. Their Christmas display was next to none.

Review №84

The entire place was filthy. The food areas were gross (crumbs, sticky puddles from spilled drinks etc.), the soft drink station was mildewy and generally disgusting. The McDonalds was the same, except they also had quite a few flies. Saw a bedbug in the bathroom stall I was in and for once Im glad Im a trucker! I can just take my dirty clothes out of my truck this weekend at home, go in the side door straight to the basement, strip, put everything in the wash, walk straight into the shower, and be safe in the knowledge that my truck will get more than hot enough to kill any bedbugs in there over the weekend.

I am going to have to say, this was not a great visit. The gas price was 19 cents higher than most gas stations, but I waited too long and was desperately low on gas. After getting gas, I had to use the bathroom, but I couldnt find it due to construction. No signs anywhere, I finally found an employee and asked her for directions. They were less than helpful, but I managed to find the bathroom despite her directions. I was not impressed.
