This seems to be your normal Loves. All of your drinks and snacks were there. Men’s room was pretty clean. They have both a Subway and a McDonalds, too. Overall, good place to stop.

Overall a gem among truck stops. The shop got all 4 trailer tires replaced within 3 hours from check in to completion. The showers were clean, and spacious with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Staff was courteous and the McDonald’s food was hot and fresh. Will definitely stop here again if the opportunity arises.

When we arrived the parking lot and pumps were all very full, so I was concerned about lunes for the bathroom, however that was not the case. The bathrooms were clean, well lit, and well stocked. There were plenty of toilets to accommodate everyone. They had the typical fare including drinks, snacks, hot dog rollers, as well as a connected Subway and McDonalds. If you’re a trucker this is a good option due to a portion of the store being specifically tools and equipment, and shower stalls - which I did not use, so I cannot vouch for the cleanliness. But judging by the rest of the store, they’re probably quite nice.

This Love’s Travel Stop is very nice. It is easily seen and accessible from the Hwy. There are plenty of parking spaces. They also are RV overnight friendly. There are handicap parking spaces. The store inside is kept very clean. The parking area also is maintained well. Also there is a Subway Sandwich Shoppe located within the building. The staff is so nice and engaging with the customers. When enter the store they always greet their customers with smiling faces and a friendly greeting. My husband and I highly recommend this Love’s. I believe you will find it a very nice place to stop by. Another nice feature is their fenced in pet area. A safe place for furry babies!

I stopped at this love’s on July 30th to get a shower and keep trucking. Sometimes there’s no wait or you may have to wait 30 - 45 minutes typically during peak hours. On this particular day I ended up sitting for over an hour. So, I walked inside to inquire about the wait. Upon walking in, I noticed the television screen that displays the shower que was off and there was a flustered looking woman behind the counter. I then looked past her at the shower screen that displays the status of the showers. I noticed 4 out of the 7 were blanked out. I asked the woman named Sam if the 4 showers blacked out were down and she said yes, until they could be cleaned. She went on to say; “every time I try to go back there someone comes in and I’m the only one over on this side at the moment.” I said; I understood and proceeded to go over to the auto counter to see if she could get some help on that end. That’s when I was advised by a lovely woman (didn’t get her name but she just had surgery)that they were shorthanded due to a call out and someone being on their lunch break. She went on to say that she was basically working a double to help the other shift. I felt so bad for the entire team because they were working tirelessly to keep up with the demands of the customers and I just wanted to shoutout the team; especially, Sam who went above and beyond to get our showers ready once the woman who did a double came over to assist her. You guys really don’t understand how far a hot shower can go when you’re over the road and I’m just grateful that I was able to get one in spite of all of the obstacles this love’s team had to endure. May God bless you all and hopefully, you guys can hire more employees to fill in whenever someone calls out or is sick.

The worst DIRTIEST bathroom i’ve ever been in my life. The women’s restroom had a long line. By the time i got near the doorway i was hit with pungent smelly air … by the time i got in, my eyes watered- i had to hold my breath. i almost vomited. this is the first time a smell has ever made me sick. i believe someone left a soiled dirty diaper inside a stall and left it there for days. it was so unbelievably disgusting. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Clean restrooms, friendly staff. I like to stop at truck stops for safety reasons. Loves are usually clean and safety when traveling. Will continue to use loves truck stops.

We go there just to buy Jerky. They have Robertson's jerky bottled under the Love's name. The cashiers are always friendly. They could do a LOT better keeping the place clean though. We would probably be tempted to buy other things. Or so far though.

On this road trip we've seen some scary bathrooms. This bathroom was very nice and clean, and well stocked. Way to go. They also they have showed for the truckers! You can hear them call out what showers are ready and available. We got some waters for the road, and we were on our way. Grateful for clean bathrooms.

Stopped here with my family to stretch and get gas. Outside there are lots of gas pumps. Inside has the usual convenient store items such as snacks and refrigerated drinks. They had a McDonald's and a Subway attached where you can get warm food. The store area was clean and well lit. The women's bathroom was okay but needs some cleaning up. There were only four stalls and there was a wait. The stall I had was a mess. It had a strong smell of urine, there was a lot of toilet paper on the floor, and there were no toilet seat covers. A positive is that the sink area was clean. There was push button soap and auto paper towel dispensers.

Busy travel plaza located close to I-10 in northwest Florida. Gas prices seemed reasonable. There's a huge truck servicing area as well as showers available for the long haul drivers. The convenience store offers many on-the-go food items like sandwiches, salads, wraps, chips, boiled peanuts, and drinks. Tee shirts, sun glasses, and other tourist-type kitsch were displayed on numerous racks throughout the store. The facilities in the store are dated and in need of serious overhaul however everything was clean. Subway and McDonald's are located on the property as well. I saw several employees assisting customers who were trying to locate items. The staff we had contact with were friendly. We were able to get back on the road quickly after filling up, using the rest rooms, and grabbing something cold to drink on a hot June day.

This particular Love's is a cool enough stop for gas. The gas is competitively priced and the inside has the usual convenience store items and if you are looking for something a bit more substantial than the snacks inside the Love's or one of their roller items like hot dogs, they also have a Subway and a McDonald's on property. The staff was friendly enough and the store was overall a clean and well kept place. Like most truck stops, it also had the usual trinkets for sale. Overall, I would definitely recommend this particular location of Love's.

This Loves in Mossy Head Florida has become a big joke. The Subway within this facility does not have half of the items on the menu. This has been an ongoing problem for well over a month now. The McDonald's (also within the facility) is usually dirty and very slow in getting orders out. It's franchise is owned by Costa who when called, does absolutely nothing. When I tried to call the Loves Corporate offices, I was led around to 2 different people that were hard to understand and then put through to the Mossy Head Loves again even after I told them that I did not want put through to them again.

I always enjoy stopping at Love's because it is usually clean but I am absolutely disgusted at the treatment we received at this location from Joshua Stokes on 4/4/2023 at 10:15 p.m. EST. My boyfriend purchased a packet of peanuts for $0.69, plus tax from a cashier named Alexis and used the bathroom. Then, he went outside to park his truck by the fuel pump and went back inside to purchase $288.88 of fuel from Joshua Stokes. While making this purchase, Joshua rudely snapped at him and said "you better pay for those peanuts, too". After my boyfriend explained that he had previously purchased the peanuts, Joshua refused to believe him and accused him of stealing. Joshua then went to the back and made contact with another employee via his radio to check if the peanuts were previously purchased. Alexis even confirmed that my boyfriend bought the peanuts from her. After twice receiving confirmation that the peanuts were already paid for, Joshua did not apologize for his mistake. As you can see in the video, he remained smug. Instead of trying to smooth over the situation, he made incendiary, racially charged comments and continued to imply my boyfriend was a thief. He even mentioned that he had a Black brother. I am not entirely sure of the reasoning behind this statement. I am very disappointed and I hope Love's takes the necessary steps to discipline this employee for his abhorrent behavior. There are other reviews of this location, one as recently as two weeks ago, that call out his racist behavior and apparently nothing has been done about it yet.

Stopped to get propane. Lots of people working. Sat waiting for 25 minutes. When in the store requesting help 3 times. Each time being told someone would be right with us. Finally left in frustration I'm sure the guy that was dodging it was very happy. We saw you slacking

When it comes to gas stations when traveling, Love's fits the description of a one stop shop. Gas prices are less than the known gas station such as ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, and others. Their 93 octane gas is always a few cents less than the described gas stations. Plus, the bathrooms are cleaner and a variety of snacks are available. To include, 2 hot dogs of your choice with all the condiments for $3.33 In this Love's Travel Stop, cheap premium gas, good Java, a variety of snacks to choose from, and best of all - clean bathroom. If the selection of snacks are not your forte, McDonalds is in the same building. Gotta love Love's Travel Stop!!!!! :-))))))))

Since recently joining the "Diesel Club" my perspective had changed somewhat of these roadside truck stops. The diesel islands can be a quite a mess at a lot of the truck stops no matter the brand and if I had to point the finger it's going to be at trucker drivers, no I'm not anti-truck drivers it just that I've seen enough of their behavior to pass judgement without feeling any remorse. Today's truckers aren't the "good-buddies" of a few decades agos their rigs can testify to this - it seems the pride has for the most part is a thing of the past dirty trucks, disgusting roadside manners and a total disregard for those that share the road with them, blame it on regulations, the pay scale, more company poorly trained drivers, their mom and dad the list is endless. So judging from the cleanliness of this Love's Travel Stop I give all the credit to the employees and management team here - this place was spotless and the equipment appears to be well maintained. Diesel is dirty and DEF (diesel emissions fuel) isn't any better, most RV blogs recommend using gloves and an old pair of sneakers when fueling up because of the puddles of diesel fuel spilled around the pumps, it's a real mess and will track inside your RV and stain everything it comes in contact with besides being an environmental problem as well since all of this is washed into the storm water drains. Unless you have an account with these truck stops there is no "pay at the pump" you must estimate the total amount you plan to pump then pre-pay before dispensing. Example I estimated I could pump $225 worth of diesel so I swiped my card for that amount, I actually only pumped $205 so that was the actual amount charged to my card and I picked up my receipt showing that exact amount charged from the corresponding slot at the fuel counter, my pump was #17 so my receipt was in slot #17 of course this requires a second trip inside. If you want a full tank it's better to tell them a higher number or get really good at knowing how much fuel you have when your gauge reads a half a tank or what ever the fuel indicator shows and do the math taking into consideration the fuel price per gallon, my rig gets a little over 7 miles to the gallon so I want to fill the tank each time I stop to eliminate the fueling frequency. Being most trucks are buying hundreds of gallons there is no 10 minute fuel stops a lot of these truckers take their mandatory 30 minute break so traffic through the pumps can be slow. The staff here was very friendly and like others have stated they have just about anything you could ever want including "public showers" thankfully I have never had to take advantage of this perk. All in all this place does a lot of things right and I'll gladly stop in again when necessary and I'm in the area...

The people here are great nice amenities and right off the exit. But, one of the filthiest restrooms I have been in. Zero exhaust being pulled from it as well so horrible odor. This is consistent as I am forced to use this stop a few times a week. You can do better Love's. Make it a priority and fix the problems.

If you drive a diesel, you gotta like Love's travel stops. This particular location was a pain to maneuver in and out of hauling my fifth wheel. Not sure how the truckers manage without problems. Maybe it's just me. They have pretty much anything you may need while out on the road.

Kacie is the BEST!!! Me and my girlfriend were headed back to Florida and her and Tim helped us with our first truck stop shower -which we really needed after working all month in Longview TX at our haunted forest!!! They were above and beyond accommodating, even while helping other customers. Made our next ride comfortable and clean Thx

All Love's location get five stars with me at all times. This is one of the best stations to stop at while on the road. They cater to your every need. They greet you when you walk in. They have a great store with plenty of doors, souvenirs and very clean bathrooms. They have more gas pumps than you need. I will always stop at any Love's over any other station while traveling on the road. They not only have their own hot food that they cook and sell, but they usually have at least one Restaurant connected to their business, sometimes they have two, one on each side. I highly recommend this business.

So happy to find this place! Marked it on our favorite road trip stops for gas, recharging, and a good stop for the pups!! They have a dog park which is such a thoughtful addition for us doggo parents (and it's clean!). We wouldn't eat at a subway outside of a late night gas fuel stop, but the subway was clean and quick. A+! The loves bathroom was extremely clean and had a button on the wall to rate the cleanliness which, again, I feel is just another thoughtful addition. Thanks loves!!!!! Marked this one down for future reference and our puppers. thank you!

The price of the showers went up and the water temperature has gone down. They're very close to their showers being a complete scam. I know they give most of them away free to truckers for buyng gas but charging someone 15 bucks for a lukewarm or cold shower is a bit much. It's happened to me multiple times now. And I'm guessing by their reaction, I'm not the first person to complain. Get your showers in order, Loves. It's a bad look.

Its funny how they all look almost exactly the same. The bathroom was mostly clean. One toilet had poop smear from some nasty person that doesnt know how to clean up after themselves. Well the rest of the bathroom was fine. The staff didnt greet us when we walked in. Theres a pretty busy flow of customers 7am om a Thursday.

Bathrooms are clean enough there was a phalic image they tried to clean off the women's bathroom floor in the stall I used. Spacious parking. The real reason I'm writing this review is to commend the customer service. Kathy is awesome! The nicest cashier I have ever run into at a love's travel stop. There is hot food in addition to the subway and McDonald's there along with a larger selection of electronics then you would find at your typical stop

Easy access when traveling on I-10 from both east and west directions. Right off the interstate, so it makes for a quick stop to get gas, grab a bite, use the restroom, and walk the dog. The parking lot is quite large and is very well lit. It's open 24 hours and I feel very safe here at night. There are a ton of pumps, so you don't have to worry about waiting for one. Considering this is in the middle of the panhandle of Florida, this is one the few places with pretty reasonable gas prices. A McDonald's and a Subway are connected to the convenience store. They also have food items like hot dogs and sandwiches available in the convenience store. They have quite a few items for your traveling needs in case you forgot something at home. They have cell phone charges, car charges, headphones, and other items for your electronic devices. There's a good assortment of over-the-counter medicines for headaches, nausea, etc. You can also pick up DVDs, CDs, and Florida souvenirs here like t-shirts, shot glasses, etc. This place is almost like a mini-Walmart!! The restrooms are extremely clean.

Shower was great for me! But customer service from manager on duty Alexa or Alexis was extreamly awful. She was rudly knocking in the door and rushing me. Screaming at me : "normal shower can't take 4 hours". You know, I was traveling around all states. This one is the worst. Customer service is the key and if you had a bad day, please, don't ruin day for you customer. We re spending money in your place, you know. This is face of your business. Maybe time off will help her who knows?..

Very clean gas station right off I-10. It has lots of pumps and the gas prices are comparable to others around the area. There is a McDonald's and a Subway and they have lots of items for travelers. The bathrooms were very clean with plenty of soap, toilet paper and paper towels. Lots of areas to walk pets.

My husband asked me to write this review and mention how *exceedingly NICE* the employees here at this gas station are. He was greeted with politeness every time he walked in and out of the building in taking the kids to the bathroom and then again to empty our car's trash can. He said it was clean inside too (for a gas station).

We heard they replaced the manager of the Subway, so we tried it again. I can't believe the health department hasn't closed this Subway down yet. Still, a filthy, uncovered food prep area and employees having zero clue of proper food handling safety procedures.

This is a great place to stop and refresh. However.. 11:20 pm and no coffee brewed in the convenience store. You're kidding, right? I have one of the Love's brand refillable mugs. What's the point of the mug if the folks at the store aren't keeping the coffee ready? Otherwise, it's clean, well-lit, and I'll be stopping by again. Hopefully, there will be coffee next time.
