My first impression was its very nice outside with beautiful landscaping and memorial gardens. As I went in I noticed the store with all the stuff and wondered what that was all about. After I did my liquid business in tje well maintained and clean bathroom I checked our the vending area, several drink machines as well as snack machines to choose from but its your typical rest area junk, nothing good for you. Chips, cookies, candy, etc, nothing like sandwiches or such. I checked out what I finally noticed was the welcome center, its open daily 8 to 5. It was before 5 and a lady was in there but when I told her I was local and had never stopped at this particular rest area she seemed less interested in helping me but perhaps she just isnt friendly period, idk. I still spent about 10 minutes going thru brochures, there are tons and tons to choose from, you wont be disappointed as far as that goes. I left with probably 100 assorted brochures, pamphlets, etc. Stop in for the welcome center but not for the snack options.

Super easy access to the rest area, westbound on I-40 halfway between Statesville and Winston-Salem. Quiet, level and secure enough. The car parking is not far from the truck parking so yes, you'll hear a truck idling all night. It is what it is. The rest rooms were decently clean in the morning. I did get a coffee from the vending machine and I would say, don't. That's the only lowlight from our night at the Davie County I-40 Westbound Rest Area.

In addition to well kept and clean restrooms, they have a very nice vending area and many outdoor tables with plenty of space to stretch your legs or those of your four legged family members. Some of the outdoor tables even have covers over them in case it rains or to shield yourself from the sun. This was a great stop!

Despite that, the overall experience was positive thanks to the helpful staff and well-run welcome center.
