This is actually a really nice gas station. A lot of different variety of stuff. Normally always really clean. Only reason for 2 star is because the employees were incredibly rude today when I went. Went about 8 am to get some breakfast. The young lady (clerk 476) that checked me out was so rude. She never acknowledged me while checking out. She was too busy talking to other co workers. She never said thank you, offered a receipt, bag or anything. I told her thank you after we finished checking out and she didn’t say anything. So I told her thank you again, she rudely said you’re welcome. I’ve been in here a couple of other times and had a really great experience, but this one time with this one girl has change my mind and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. A simple acknowledgment would’ve been nice, but she never once actually looked at me. I don’t know what they have that’s going on that so much more important than their customers, but the management staff should really consider talking to these employees and really teaching them about how to treat a customer

Went to moes for breakfast and it was good, then went to the store side to get diesel for the truck and the cashier was too busy talking to the coworker to even notice the customers. Maybe put down the energy drink long enough to ring out customers.

Last Sunday July 4th was a very pleasant visit. The employees were very courteous and the food (pizza) was excellent. Today July 11th, complete opposite. We were standing next to the deli waiting for someone to help us. The lady on the register finished with her customers so i figured she would help us. Instead, she turned up her energy drink and finished it. Then simply stood near the register completely ignoring us. We moved to the register and asked for pizza upon this request she gave a smirk and began to get our pizza while i was trying to let her know we wanted a double steak burger. Which she apparently did not hear. I decided to step away and let my girlfriend finish the order. My g.f. had to let the cashier know we wanted the steak burger too which she responded isnt there one in there referring to the warmer.This lady is the rudest cashier i have ever encountered at Pilot.

Nice little spot to stay on the way to Houston. Plenty of food choices.. the family restaurant next door has some pretty good food and Moes is good too. Clean and well stocked. Its also not cramped for parking your big rig...well layed out so theres plenty of space. The only reason they got a 3 from me is for the showers! They are outdated and cramped and the shower curtain fell on me while showering. Ive noticed most trucker reviews on this location have to do with the showers and its true. The water quality and pressure is terrible as well. When your business depends on us you cant skimp on what we need the most!

Got there at about 4:30 am Oct 30 and was able to find a spot. Went inside, clean store and restrooms. Shelves and coolers looked organized. Thought Id grab a quick bite as they still had a few hot items available, even at that hour. The girl behind the counter was super pleasant and pulled my leg when I said Id like a slice of pizza. She told me this was their display model and shed have to make me a new one. Put a smile on my face and after 11 hours of driving and at that hour, made my day. More truck stops need more people like her and not the grumpy grumps I tend to see.

This is an easy access gas station to quickly get in and out while traveling. The prices are average. The gas islands are clean and easy to use. There are snacks, drinks and restrooms available inside. There are also any needed travel supplies that may have been forgotten before leaving. This pilot is as expected based on other locations.

Very friendly helpful polite staff. Showers dont have fabulous water pressure, no shower wands, heavy water softener, clean. Womens restroom could use more attention more frequently. Not an abundance of parking for truckers. Great food options within walking distance.The catfish, slaw, tarter sauce, salad bar were great at Charlies.I highly suggest locking all your stuff on your rig up. Someone stole 2 of our load locks while we were in the shower.

My husband left his tooth brush and tooth paste in the shower yesterday and today I asked Judy at the cashier, and the gentleman wearing the blue shirt, Terry is his name, I think, he went to the storage and got it for us today. And he left it again today and the lady who does the shower cleaning duty today found it for us. Judy had also helped me bwfore when I wanted to buy a box of sugar, beginning of this year. Great customer service! Thank you

Passed through the day after Thanksgiving! For the number of people on the road they were seriously short handed and slow since I was buying gas with cash. Only plus side was that the employees were pleasant.

Review №56

Generally has the cheapest gas in town. Bathrooms are always clean. Large variety of drinks and snacks. It has a Moes Mexican Grill at one end of the building and Charlies Restaurant at the other end of the store. Moes is like a Subway for Mexican food. You pick and choose what you want on your order. Charlies is great American family food. Fantastic breakfast 24 hrs a day, chicken fried steak, grilled chicken, ham steaks, Fantastic Ribeyes, Salad bar etc. We love Charlies the most out of the two restaurants. Service is always great there!

The employees are nice. Cant buy Def at the pump without paying inside. Walking around big diesel trucks is dangerous! We are in a Chevy Silverado and senior citizens, so this was inconvenient. There are millions of diesel pick-up trucks in Texas. A pump with Def should be available anywhere diesel fuel is sold.

Welcome to Moes 😁. When Im in the area I stop here just so I can eat at Moes. Great staff and I love the burrito bowl. Its the only Moes Southwest grill that I can easily get to with my truck. I wish more of the Power had Moes instead of burger joints.

Auto diesel pump #16 would not print receipt so I had to go in and get one. Figured since I was in the store I would get coffee of course. Great coffee really like the automated coffee machine, clean counter ....chip reader at register is so worn it wouldnt read my card kept declining it by the fifth time it worked then after a few minutes I get a notification that my card was frozen because of possible fraudulent activity. THANKS PILOT!! Not to mention the lady running the register wasnt the most pleasant person Ive met.I use Pilot stations for most of my travels and have been to this particular one multiple times this is the first time Ive had an issue.

Good service, friendly staff, and clean restrooms; thats what good service stations are made of. My only real complaint is charging $1.50 for the air pump. And do you really think Im going to trust an exposed card reader that far away from the store? Talk about card skimming opportunities...

Thought it was an off day last few times, but now I know they just dont clean the showers like they should. Other peoples gross stuff on sink, walls, floor, toilet, shower ah you get the idea.this has been the case the last 3 times I was here and its not busy right now. Guess Ill wait for the well rehearsed response to get posted here. I will say that the staff up front is great, the one star is for the nasty showers. If I come back and the showers are clean I will edit this review. Also,trucks have created their own parking spaces blocking the fire hydrant by the fuel lines but nobody seems to care.

Nicest Pilot/Flying J weve ever been to. Clean, large bathrooms, Moes Southwest Grill a nice change from other run of the mill slop usually offered. Curious to see how the showers are on our next run this way. Only complaint at the moment would be lack of parking. Truck stop this size should be able to accommodate more than just 45 trucks.

Self checkout kiosks are at this location, which is pretty neat. The bathrooms are clean, and there is a great Moes restaurant here. However, there are tons of flies everywhere, and its a little disconcerting to see them all over the food. Its been this way the past two times Ive been here.

Review №100

The Pilot Travel Center in Lufkin, Texas is a converted Fuel City facility. As a frequent visitor to this location (twice a week on average) I feel this Pilot Travel Center is below their normal standard. To begin with, their gas and diesel prices are amount the highest in town. Travel Center would lead a reasonable and prudent traveler to expect dedicated fuel lanes for travel trailers, 5th wheel trailers and motor coaches. There are none here. You might also expect an RV dump station and water fill. Nope. And a travel center would surely sell RV accessories. Strike three. RV parking spaces are non-existent. There are commercial truck fuel lanes and parking behind the store. But the shower and bathroom facilities are very limited for the commercial drivers. For automobile drivers there are adequate gas and diesel pumps and the store is well stocked with soft drinks and snacks. The store has decent buffet offerings, a Moes restaurant inside and another restaurant on the north end of the building. I think 3 stars is an honest appraisal; two for the car drivers, a third star for the commercial truck drivers and no stars for the RV crowd.
