Very friendly staff ! The cashier was funny and sweet. The young guy that was cleaning the place was sweet as well. And well mannered. And the ladies restroom was very clean and I really loved the decor. The picture speaks for itself.Let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! Psalm 95:6 ❤️

Good truck stop that has a good sit-down restaurant they are hard to come by now days in the trucking industry most only have fast food counters. Have a well placed old rip griffin style with a small store and cafeteria style food counter with home cooking in the fuel island building, have a truckers chapel trailer and a gazebo with sit-down table under it to use. Have a large tv room and good showers. hair salon and shoe shine shop and a cell phone center. A very large truck parking lot with reserved and handicap parking.

Visited here 8-14-21, shower was amazing but small. Porters really did a good job cleaning. This location had no diesel and the cashier was sort of rude, shaking his head at me in disgust because I couldnt find the gallons of water. Overall it was a decent visit.

Best Petro hands down. Have eaten at many Iron Skillets. Only a few were mediocre. Some I will not go back to. This one will be a definite favorite. A bonus is the hair salon. Diana is AMAZING !!!!!

Worst waitress ever, she was an older lady n lazy! My drink went empty 3xs she was busy talking to another waitress the entire time, so it was hard for her to do her job correctly! When she finally was walking out to bring my food, she stopped again holding my food to talk to the same waitress again! Then I ordered dessert n she didnt even bring me the right thing! I dont know if they are just desperate for waitresses or what. But the cook did a great job the food was really good! Too bad his waitresses make the place get a bad review!

The service attitude is very poor. I gave you 4 hours to repair the car, but the repair was not completed in the end. Why didn’t you call the driver to inform the driver. It was very unprofessional and charged a fee of $151. This is unreasonable. It was a waste of my time and money. It’s a terrible place.

It’s hot inside. I showered there and was sweating more when I got out than when I got in. It was a wasted effort. Does the place not have air conditioning? Management too cheap to turn it down cold enough to be comfortable? This place is a dump and ran on a shoestring budget. They are not customer service oriented from the management level.

They have a very wide variety of amenities for truckers. I was able to wash our laundry there. They have a TV Room, Game Room, Laundry Room, Dunkin, Iron Skillet, Massage Chairs, Lounge, Chapel and more. I do wish the restrooms were cleaner though.

The night crew is on top of things at this petro..Cant say anything about the day crew cause I only came in at night but Kelsey has a OCD style cleanliness attitude and gets right down to the little details alot of folks miss or dont bother to care about. I just happen to walk in as she was basically steam cleaning the hell out of this. Notice the mixing cups just above the dispensing nozzle. Alot of time you see these with powder caked in them.. Now you begin looking down the counter top and notice everything has been polished clean... Thank you Kelsey

Parking lot full of holes, but plenty of parking pretty much all night. The thing that bugs me is they def use a cell phone blocker to nickel n dime drivers via extra services. Coming in the signal is great and as soon as you leave out youll get it back. Should be illegal. Food is ok.

I was there 2/22/21, to find a homeless woman doing no harm just getting warm. I gave this lady $20 to get food or whatever ( she didnt ask me for anything).The manager then called cops after seeing this.... Never asked woman to leave prior to me giving her money.Also manager of the restaurant started yelling at homeless woman for NO reason.i will never go here again and will let fellow truckers know abouthis. Way to kick someone while they are down Petro....sad sad sad this was witnessed by several other truckers who also told manager off

This is about the truck shop at the Amarillo Petro. Got checked in had to wait a little bit as the Mechanic that was experienced in the electrical issue I was having was on a road call. Once James got back and I got in the shop. He was able to Diagnose my problem quickly got it fixed and had me rolling out in about 30 mins. Great service. I appreciate the quick turn around.

Once Again... diner closed when I get here, no longer 24 hours in a 24 hour industry, could at least stay open tell midnight. Well Petro/TA, Ive officially lost confidence in youre stops, you may think closing the dinners is saving you operating costs but its going to cost you a once loyal customer, If there is no food available then I will no longer be spending on average of $700 a week in deisel at youre locations.

I wasnt going to leave a review because I dont really frequent this place often enough to form an opinion but its been eating at me the situation from yesterday. I like to stop in every couple weeks for a haircut because a good barber is hard to find and the lady here does it great without me having to explain what I want plus the wife likes the way she did it. Friday morning I got here around 9 so I went to have breakfast at the Iron skillet and was greeted as always by great hosts there and was pleased that the price has become more competitive. A little after 10 I went in the barber shop and there was a different lady finishing her hair and makeup in the mirror apologizing she was rushed to come in because someone was fired for stealing money, then tells me shes greatful I showed up because she was contemplating closing the place to go shopping although it was business hours and its not good business to be closed when you say youre open. The whole time shes cutting my hair shes trashing the nice lady I originally came to see calling her all kinds of horrible rude things. At the end she says she cant tell how I like it parted and I had to explain it to her that it now cant be parted because she cut it way too short and the druggy looking jerk says maybe its because her fingers arent as fat as the other ladys 🤬. Then after calling that other nice lady a thief she proceeds to charge me more than the supposed thief did. I wish I knew what place the normal lady went to work because I darn sure wont get my hair cut by this place again. But will be coming for breakfast more often again.

I waited 15min to order...the LEFT AFTER 40MIN WAIT FOR A CHICKEN SANDWICH....THAT I NEVER GOT....................It seems that petro and ta are getting more expensive and will give you less.Also washing machines are dirty.i had to clean it before I could do laundry.

Stopped to get fuel on Oct 28th. Got 7 miles down the road and fuel error code comes up. 157 fm18. I have a cummins 450. Took 22 hours to get towed to cummins. They finally were able to look at it on Nov 2nd. Diagnosis bad fuel. And to drain 150 gallons. 4 fuel filters later. About to head out. I will never buy fuel at this location again. Be careful, they sell bad fuel.

This place is awesome! If youre on the road and you need it they got it. I travel across the country often to see family and stop here a lot. I can use a clean restroom, get something to eat, sit down and relax & occasionally have a good conversation with a complete stranger. Its a good place to stop for sure, Ill be back through in a few weeks.

Review №43

I spend a lot of time here. Not a bad truck stop, but parking can be a problem some nights. Guess thats like most places these days. They do have a security patrol in the lot. I often eat at the iron skillet here. Depending on what time you arrive the buffets usually pretty good. they have a promotion you can sign up for two by six meals get the last one free. Only problem I really have well then. Is they were supposed to cop me a meal for my last meal on the program. They charge me for it anyway. And refused to make it right. They say it doesnt show up in the register I showed him the transaction on my bank account. And they still wont make a right. Id advise not using a credit card here. Pay cash only. Somebody that works in a restaurant knows a way to steal from your account and not show up on the register. And the management does not want to address this issue.

This is Iron Skillet Restaurant which is inside the Petro Shopping Center. Essentially, this is a restaurant inside a trucker stop and gas station. Food was good and reasonably priced. Pork chop was good but somewhat small.. However, the overall breakfast was very good sized, and I left very full.

Best Petro truck stop ever. The shop is knowledgeable on fixing trucks. The staffs by the early morning shift on 03/03 was doing an excellent job, Isaiah and front desk clerk were very helpful and courtesy to customers. I definitely happy with the service and recommend you try this shop instead of slowly Loves or TA in town!!?

This is a good Petro. In addition to the breakfast buffet at the Iron Skillet, they have a Dunkin Donuts. They also have a pretty big lot and all of the driver amenities are good. The fuel island C-store has all the breakfast items plus some very nice pork chops.

Absolutely DISGUSTING breakfast here. They serve inedible food here that was obviously from days ago. Biscuits hard as a brick. Hash browns old and definitely not fresh nor made day of. Just warning to any other drivers who may think of grabbing food out of here. Save your hard earned money and spend it somewhere else. I wish, I did.

I left by ambulance on Friday night & just got back Sunday. The guys inside were more than supportive & let my husband drop where he was. The lot was full or he wouldve moved it to the back.One day in ICU & the rest in a regular room & finally discharged. We hooked up grateful everybody understood & didnt create more grief for us. This doesnt happen everywhere. Thank you guys.

Pull in at 21:00. Dining room closed, dried out pork chops and burned sausage in the outlying building. Thanks for nothing Petro. Update: 6/12/20, 10 am in the outbuilding, again dead weight cooking was too busy burning food to actually make me some breakfast. Had a lame excuse about someone not showing up to make it, well what are you doing? This Petro hires the most worthless people.

Its Thursday night and Im waiting for service. Theres 3 people standing behind the counter and only one technician in the shop working. Too many Indian chiefs and not enough Indians. Four bays are empty and they sit behind the counter playing with their phones. It must be nice to do absolutely nothing and still get paid I had no idea that getting a technician that wants to work was so hard

Review №59

Worst service at a truck stop thus far. Place is clean, parking lot full. Ive heard good things about the iron skillet, not impressed here!. Wait staff were rude and unprofessional. Even the store clerk had the attitude like he hated even being there. Food was half good half worse. Hot cakes looked like burnt bread. Hash browns look recycled. The eggs and ham are the only thing I ate. Dont think Ill be back here. Too many truck stops in Amarillo to have to settle for service like that.

I sat at the counter for 10 minutes before I was noticed the waitress ask if I had been waited on my reply was not yet she ask what I wanted to drink my reply was sweet iced tea she brought the tea and a menu. Few seconds she returned, I ordered a shrimp basket and ask if salad was included, yes was the answer. I got my salad I was beginning to eat it she returned ask me if she had taken my order. I got angry said if you cant get an order right I should get up and leave, then she accused me of being rude, i left a twenty on the counter told her it was there and left.

Review №62

I will never stop in this Petro again! We stopped and got the soup and salad and took two meals to go. Well when we ate our meals they had a gritty substance in them. It felt like sand but didnt have the salty taste. I called the manager and explained my situation. He offered a free meal. We ate the buffet so we could avoid the gritty substance. The woman manager on duty at that time didnt even come and talk to us and then began going around to the staff pointing us out and stating to them it was impossible. I would assume this to mean that she was telling everyone we were liars and wanted a free meal. Well that’s ludicrous! I have plenty I don’t need a free meal nor do I need to make up things to get free meals. It was very unprofessional and rude! I will never go here again and I plan to let all my fellow drivers know to not eat here as well!

This may be a Sunday morning thing, now that I think about it, but we will be back. Everyone was super helpful. From the fuel desk to the personnel at the store.

Dont no what the heck is going on at Petro with their buffet. Stopped at 2 different Petro Travel Centers one in Illinois and this one in Amarillo TX and both times the offerings were disappointing the basic soups at both places were not good no flavor at all just bland as can be. Amarillo cut their spaghetti on the buffet with scissors which really upset some drivers I mean who cuts up spaghetti into small pieces. Guess the safest bet is to stick to the menu. For the money Petro charges for their buffet they should care more about the product theyre putting out in the buffet at least in these 2 Petros.

I caught on and was argued with that the amount was correct when indeed it was $100 over! Funny when she printed the receipt she manually entered 8 when I had only 4! Never again!

The shop is woefully untrained. The mechanic couldnt use a voltmeter properly, if he could he would have spotted the problem was with my trailer not my truck when I had no trailer lights. That the truck WAS putting power to the pig tail. It took another shop 5 minutes to diagnose and fix what they tried for a hour to misdiagnose and quit. Then say the truck had to go the dealership .
