I got to give it up to Gary over here at Ernie's Federal truck stop. I was in the Tacoma area,…read moretrying to find a place to park and for the very first time in my life, I struck out three times in a row. I noticed this place on my GPS map, and called. A gentleman named Gary answered the phone, and told me there was one spot left that I could park at. I was only 2.3 miles away so I booked it on over. I got parked, went in and paid my fee. This guy was so jovial, well mannered, and accommodating, if there was more Gary's in the world, it would be so much better. Not just for the way he accommodated me, but some woman came in and asked to use the restroom. He told her "well the restroom are only for customers, but I guess I can give you a key, but if you pee on the floor, it will be the last time!" It was nice for him to be able to joke with a total stranger, and for her to be receptive to it and laugh at it. His customer service skills are spot on. The place is under construction, so their hours are only 5:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. around 5:00 I went back in there to ask if I could purchase a shower, and good ole Gary pulled through again! He walks around happy, whistling, and just a great attitude. It's not the best part of town, but the amenities are perfect, and for what it was, it was also absolutely perfect. I'll keep this place in mind next time I'm in that area, but if you ever end up in that area, stop in and at least say hi! Thank you guys for everything you did for me that night!!!!

The convenience store is clean, well stocked, and has a solid variety of snacks, drinks, and everyday essentials. They also serve hot food, like clam chowder, soups, burgers, and hot dogs. One feature I really appreciate is the on-site car wash. It's around18 dollars, and if you use the car wash, the vacuums are free, which is a really nice touch. Just be sure to wash your vehicle first before using the vacuum. Overall, it's a convenient spot to fuel up, grab a bite, wash your car, or even pick up lottery tickets. Definitely worth stopping by and I'd give it a solid five stars.

Over the past five or six years, I have developed an affinity for good gas station cuisine... We're…read morenot talking hotdogs and crappy attempt in Mexican food, I'm talking about legit food that is prepared and sold in gas stations. I started coming to this gas station Because it tends to be quicker to get in and out of when we are driving back to the east side of the mountains. The guys that work here are always incredibly friendly and do a great job of keeping the place clean, well lit and, they tend to have gas that's about a penny cheaper than the other guys. To my eternal delight, they pointed out that they have Indian food for sale. Some of the best Indian food I've ever had came from a small gas station in Yakima, when an Indian family bought it and the mom started cooking. That appears to be what's going on here as well! The Indian gentleman who run the place seem to be Family or friends, and do an incredible job on all fronts. That now includes the Indian food! There's a freezer, now two or three, in the back of the restaurant that has 15 or 20 different restaurant quality Indian dishes. We sampled, goat, lamb, chicken, paneer (Indian cheese), and vegetable options. Everything we've had here, including the bagged garlic naan, has been amazing! We will grab two of the entrées and a bag of non-, and it feeds us for a couple of meals. It taste like somebody's mom or wife made it, and everything is legitimately worth going back for. This has become stop every time we pass by, partly for normal snacks, and increasingly for dinner later. You owe yourself to check the place out!

Compared to other car washes I've been to, this location felt a bit slower in processing the line, which could use some improvement. That said, the free vacuum area was super handy, especially for clearing out some trash I'd been putting off. I do wish the summer hours were extended a bit; it gets dark late, and it'd be nice to swing by after dinner. Overall, not bad just a few tweaks could make it much better. JY review
