Love’s Travel Stop

Just a shout out to the great people at Loves in Hillsboro, TX. On Saturday night, November 7, 2015, I was helping lead a school group trip home to San Antonio after a competition earlier that day in the Dallas area. Our charter bus broke down on the interstate just outside of Hillsboro and the whole group of us (including 40 high school students) descended on Loves like refugees. The staff at Loves could have told us to move along elsewhere, but they graciously allowed us to hang out in their restaurant for four hours while we waited for a rescue bus to arrive. The restaurant (a Subway) was clean and safe. The restrooms were clean. We had already eaten dinner before we arrived, so Loves didn’t get much business from us. Still, we were thankful for their hospitality and understanding. Way to go Loves! You have definitely earned my business and respect.

Simply put this place is a mad house. The space is way to small for the out of traffic that this place gets and seems to always be understaffed.

Truckers this is a pretty busy location, have never stopped here and it not be busy. Expect a lengthy wait at the fuel island. Could practically do your 30 min break just waiting to fuel haha. Ladies restroom was decent today, husband said the men’s was ok, not exactly the best Loves travel center for cleanliness I’m guessing they would blame the high volume of customers and lack of employees. But still you need to keep your business clean.

Easy off/​on from I-​35 and $ 0.20 cheaper than the station at the next exit. Bathroom was clean.

This is a very dirty, sub-​par location! Stopped here to get a tire changed. The shop is understaffed and over priced and the tech’s take twice the required time needed to perform simple services!

Stopped in this morning needing propane exchange badly. Also needed diesel for truck and fill two gas cans. Outside propane cabinet was full but was rudely told «we’re out». I told them cabinet was full and clerk said «sir, he says we are out»! No apologies. Drove down the road to corner store and clerk very happily got my propane and I also bought a tank of diesel and also gas cans refueled.

Never ceases to amaze me that I somehow end up in this place all the time when traveling. Its located in a great spot and its decent.
The bathrooms are messy but not terrible and it has a subway so it has decent food.
It looks pretty run down from the outside but its ok. However the people were really nice here.

The truck stop is good, but holy moly the Chester Chicken is crap! If your looking for over priced over cooked nasty greasiest, weird tasting fried chicken. Then this is your place. So after I ate half of it and threw it away. I figured they couldn’t mess up on the tenders. So I bought one to see if it’s good? Holy crap! The tender was dry the crust was soggy and meat was tough. Gees. The only thing that was okay. Was the over cooked potato wedge and the bread. Next time it’s subway for me.

Nice place. Has a subway in it. So eat fresh. Place is clean.

Really clean with nice workers. The place has good lighting also and has ok gas prices if you are not picky with what kind of gas you put in your car.

Used to stop across the street on our trips from Austin to Dallas, but starting to stop here more as it’s not as crowded and a little easier to get back on the highway. Clean restrooms and good selection of guilty pleasure road trip snacks.
