We were traveling in the Johnson Lake area over the weekend and needed some gas for our trip back to Omaha. I think we have discovered one of the most quint spots around the lake, the Portside Express. Not only did we get our fuel, but we found some of the best tasting BBQ and Broasted chicken on the planet. I know where we're going to eat the next time we're in the area. Give them a try, you won't go wrong. Oh and by the way, the serve staff they have have are some of the best you'll ever find. Be back again soon! read more

DISHONEST! When pulling into the parking lot I saw their sign listing unleaded fuel for $3.32 per…read moregallon. When I was filling my vehicle I noticed I was being charged $3.72, 40¢ higher than the signage indicated. I walked over and looked at the sign again thinking I had misread it, but I hadn't. I then noticed the small print on the sign saying that price was only for certain pumps. The neighboring stations were selling their gas for the $3.32 price so it wouldn't raise any flags to customers passing through. Upon mentioning this to the person working the counter I was told "well, it says it on the sign."

VERY RUDE and unprofessional. I attempted to retrieve a past receipt and the manager/supervisor…read morerefused to provide the receipt or their name so I could pursue the matter further. I will be contacting the corporate office to remedy this situation.

Fat Dogs has a nice setup inside and they offer a wide selection of products. The store itself…read morelooks clean and organized, and there are plenty of options to choose from. That said, my customer service experience was uncomfortable. As an African American woman, I did not feel welcomed. The employee who helped me did not greet me when she turned around. She immediately started ringing me up without saying hello. She also did not hand me my bag. I had to reach over the counter to grab it myself. Small actions matter. A greeting and basic courtesy go a long way. I hope management works on improving the customer experience so everyone feels acknowledged and respected when they walk in.

As a previous review stated, Fat Dogs has clean restrooms, and a pretty robust liquor section. I…read morebought several 20 ounce pop bottles and 2 small bottles of whiskey (not top shelf) but one was Bulleit brand, and paid about $20. To my surprise, everything on my receipt was discounted! The woman at the register was super nice. It was a random stop for us while passing through, but a nice place to browse, shop, and walk our dogs too. The shirt and souvenir section also had some good variety of items. Now I wish I would have bought a "You are nowhere" shirt, for fun!

One of the best parts of a road trip, is the inevitable detour to a truck stop…read more Whilst rolling to Lincoln, I stopped at this truck stop for 2 reasons. 1. We needed fuel, and I needed to stretch my legs. and 2. The choices were an elegant, very bright and very corporate Shell station if we turn left. Or the almost spooky rode hard and put away wet family looking owned (not AS corporate) Sinclair station / Truck oasis with a road house bar/restaurant in the parking lot if we turn right. I opted for the Sinclair station, they weren't as busy, the fuel price was the same and I'm a fan of supporting smaller companies/family run places. Now Sinclair may gross more $ than Shell, but the stop looked interesting so they got my business. On the door as you walk in is a flyer proclaiming that as of some specific date I cannot recall, this fuel stop is 100% smoke free! Behind the counter was a lady who greeted me with a smile and a cigarette hanging from her mouth. Mama and the kids went to make use of the facilities. The potty was clean enough, nothing scary, smelled of chlorine and was kept up. The selection of Jerky was amazing, 3 different end caps, 5 different brands. Hell ya, this is what road tripping is all about. If only they had Alabama's greatest hits on CD for .99 cents. Maybe they did, I just couldn't find it. Word.

This has been a regular stop or destination eatery for us for a long time. It may still be Apple…read moreBarrel or Aunt Jo's, but it is in the Sapp Bros Truck Stop. Friendly staff and tbe food is home cooked great. On Friday night their special is in house made Prime Rib that rivals steakhouse. In fact I have steakhouse prime rib not as juicy and flavorful as theirs. Prices are very reasonable too. Ambiance is non existant. Table or counter seating but the service and food make up for it. Would be 5 stars but when busy don't be in a hurry cuz it gets slow getting the food out.

We stopped here to pick up lunch for our road trip. We both ordered the club sub with Cajun fries…read more These sandwiches were so well made. The Cajun fries were perfectly seasoned too. The service was friendly and it had a diner ambiance. We would definitely go back!
