Nice older truck stop with a 24-hour Wendys that has a breakfast menu. Kind of small vs. modern stops like Buckys across the street. (Not a bad thing - Buckys is too big and doesnt even allow trucks) Convenient location and easy off/easy back on I-35.

Really awesome place and dude at the fuel desk is a really cool guy. Overall I liked the place and definitely is a relief to find places like this. It keeps me trucking. Please expand this chain and rid of those mega stops. They depress me. Ill stop here every time I come by.

The cashier (Celia)followed me around, to the extent I advised her I was not going to steal. HER REPLY TO ME!?! WAS HER INTUITION TOLD HER DIFFERENT 🤨.LATER,. AS I CHECKED OUT I OFFERED MY OPINION BACK, SAYING SHE SHOULD NOT ADVISE HER CUSTOMERS ABOUT HER INTUITION. Immediately SHE GRABBED UP MY ITEMS AND SAYS TO ME, SHE WAS DOING HER JOBNOTE! ALL THE WHILE, THE CUSTOMERS IN LINE BEHIND ME WERE NOT AMUSED! AS WELL THEY TOO WERE KEPT WAITING.INAPPROPRIATE, RUDE AND JUST UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR!!I didnt get the items I was needing.

Passing through and stopped to get fuel and a snack. The young man in the front was very busy so I took my items to be back with a lady named Amanda. For a moment I forgot I was at a convenience store because she looked at me as if I was at her home trying to sell something. Her attitude was nothing more than tolerable at Max. When I walked up she was busy tapping at her phone so maybe I interrupted her conversation. Oops. She was not friendly and was preoccupied on her phone. Now dont get it misunderstood, I understand we are glued to our phones and I had absolutely no problem with her being on the phone, but with the attitude and nasty look

Looks like the other reviews are correct about the restrooms. I dont think these restrooms were attended to over an entire 24 hour period. Trash cans were overflowing in the stalls. Same trash was in the hallway to the restrooms at noon on Sunday that was there on 1pm the day before. I emailed both, Wendys and Cefco, Wendys was the only one to respond. Wendys stated that the restrooms are CEFCOs responsibility even though they are in the restaurant area. CEFCO never responded. Yet, they respond to several reviews regarding their facilities on Google. But that is probably were it stops seeing the sanitation issue continues to be problematic.

I am so thankful I found this place!!! I was in dire need of a screwdriver set at 1 O’clock in the morning and this place was my saving grace. They have a good sized tool section so it’s nice to know I have a 24-hour hardware store available for emergencies. The employees were also very nice and helpful, especially this lady who was busy building a candy display but took her time to help me find what I needed. :)

Slow pumps, card reader did work then after paying I get a fountain drink and dsl cashier was busy so I went to front counter. Cindy or something close to it (older lady) complaint about the heat in the building she says anything ekes I say nope o came here bc dsl side guy isn’t there. She starts in on he’s got stuff to do bc he’s a manager and just kept it going then says I have the attitude problem. Never have I seen a CEFCO employee argue with a customer. I live locally and I will not step foot in there again

Every Monday I sleep there, in my truck, for work reasons and I will continue to stay there. They have always treated me great. Excellent service.I think the only detail is that a lot of people come, and not everyone has the consideration of taking care of the place. For cashiers, it is difficult to maintain 100%. The rest, all very well!

I have to write a review about the one product I can only find at CEFCO; Xyience. I’m sure their are other stores that sell them, but I haven’t found one yet! Plus, CEFCO is probably one of the most convenient stores for all your quick stop needs. I’m not going to lie, my kids love stopping by to get snacks. CEFCO is ALWAYS the place they want to go.

I have no idea why people are complaining about this place. Its clean. Lots of truck parking. Coffee is great. Employees are very nice. Wendys food was good. Hot. Fresh and fast. Both places were clean and well kept. Only downside? I really enjoyed your coffee. But the coffee cups are tiny. I went back for a second and third cup. Wish yall had larger size cups for us coffee lovers.

Review №54

From the outside in... street access is very nice, easy to maneuver, some of the parking lot leans the wrong way for my style (driver side high preference) but there’s not much that can be done about that so I parked facing uphill in the gravel area... neighbors probably appreciate that considering my reefer is on continuous. This position leaves me surveying the typical sight of a small Texas truck stop; trash from lazy trucker’s trailers, old tires, kicking it up a notch with rotting meat that could have just as easily been donated to a shelter before it was tossed out to add fragrance to a later week’s air. Let’s go inside and see what’s cookin’. ... ... Local tire guy sitting on the lot as I walked in, said hello, but that’s no surprise being as though 95% of Texans are friendly. Once inside, the atmosphere smelled like opening day of deer season in a secluded valley (burned gunpowder), doesn’t bother my sniffer, and became nose blind to it quickly. The restroom was used, but tidy and recently cleaned, the hand soap smelled good and actually did it’s intended job with good hot water. Lots of typical truck stop tasty treats to be had, which all looked fresh at 13:30. Great selection of merchandise, from hats to trinkets, and all kinds of munchies. Prices are hit and miss, but all together reasonable. They have a selection of alcoholic beverages, which I personally don’t agree with a Travel Center selling, but to each their own. So, Wendy’s... I don’t usually buy fast food, but after reading some other reviews, thought I would give it a whirl. They were busy, but not too busy to take my order once I’d decided and stepped up to the counter. Taste... it’s fast food. Timing... excellent. Presentation... there are a small handful of fast food restaurants in this nation that can boast a burger that looks like the pictures from which you order. This is one of those places. If you like Wendy’s, this is the spot for you.So, to recap... Decent selection at fair prices, friendly faces, decent restaurant, clean(but not ‘run you out operating room clean’), constant shuffle of trucks makes parking ample if you’re in no hurry. A pretty nice place. If everyone could just do their part on this parking lot situation, and say ‘Don’t Mess With Texas’, it would be an even more desirable place to stop. Try it. Enjoy it.

I had them debit 500 and only pumped 375 dollars and she was giving me change for 125 but suddenly she said it would go back one account, so I left store.Well it didnt come back on my account, it post 500 out of my account.Later I call them and talk to Tim Casper assistant manager and she said come back and bring proof. I told her I was over the road driver and couldnt do it. After little conversation she hang up the phone.Next day I called corporate office and I was directed to Wendy who supposed to take care of this kind of problems.We talk little I explained the situation and she said she will call me back after she talks to store.She havent call me so far.I post this because any driver have cashier turn pump on for you and you pumped less then what you tell cashier before you pumped make sure you get change or otherwise you may have same problem that I have

Review №62

This is not the first time Ive been here and they have the worst customer service Ive seen. I work right up the road and its convenient to go here when I get off. Tonight I went to grab a monster, the attendant seen me come in, when I turned to walk to the drinks he walked off to the back without saying a word. So I walked to the truck drivers attendant where the front attendant walked off to just to hear we cant sell nothing right now. Ok that would have been fine if they wouldnt have wasted my time and just said that when I walked in. I will never go back to this shell and I wouldnt recommend it to nobody. Take the extra time and hit buckeys, at least their attendants are polite.

Small parking lot. Small inside. Kinda of a dump. Two nasty looking showers. Bathroom is beyond pathetic. My dog would not want to use the bathroom here. And this is an animal who licks his own ass. The county health department should shut this place down. I would give this place zero stars if I could. If I didnt have to be here to do a re-power with another driver I would have never stopped

Review №66

Ugly truck stop. Looks like abandoned. Its so much garbage around the territory that it looks like junk yard.nobody cares!!!! I thought maybe inside it would be better-no!!! Its dirty inside the truck stop also, restrooms with bad odor and tiles on the walls looks like nobody ever cleaned them ever since they were put !!! Mirror in a mens restroom all dirty you hardly can see yourself. Very bad and disrespectful to the truckers and everybody whoever stop at your place to get food. Little rest .Sad.Dear owner of that truck stop, I see you all the time apologize for the condition of that truck stop, but its that easy that all your team take trash bags and pick up the garbage around the truck stop, is that easy that your team wash the restrooms,is that easy your team clean the showers, is that easy you guys take the power wash and clean the asphalt on a truck stop that smells urine so hard that you can not breathe!!!!! Its going to take few hours only!!!! And such a big difference!!!!!!

Nasty place. Piss all over the bathrooms. Inside of the store smells like sewage. Just your typical nasty truck driver stop. They sit care about how nasty it gets and neither do the store workers. The store will comment back on your review saying they look into it but they won’t because they don’t car. Lazy POS’s
