Spending tonight in nowhere Minnesota hoping to see a sky full of stars. Decided not to stay in the mainstream truck stop for the weekend.

Please note that there is no longer a cafe but a liquor store where it once was.I am traveling with my husband in his company's over the road truck from South Carolina and found ourselves in Minnesota to deliver a load. I wanted to spend his reset away from the big light populations so maybe on my first westward trip I would get to experience the night sky full of amazing stars. We chose to stay here even though it isn't actually a truck stop because of that very reason and many reviews on trucker path said it was worth the visit.The staff here has been amazing and so friendly. The owner treated us like she had known us forever. It was so nice to see locals hanging out this morning talking about all the local things going on around town.If ever I get back here... I'm coming to say hello!Also great country roads to walk and see beautiful sunsets! Super quiet as well and just down from Lake Onamia!

The gas station inside was nice, good for bait and a quick stop. Not very COVID friendly no one was wearing a mask. Good for a quick stop though.

Solid. Basic cafe menu. I had the hotbeef commercial. It was good. The potatoes were homemade I think. They were a little bland and I think the gravy may have been from a jar. All in all, not bad, not great. My sweetie had the Gateway burger & fries. The burger looked to have been made fresh by hand, at least not a frozen preformed patty. It had bacon & cheese, and was on a couple of pieces of toasted bread. He says it was pretty good. Service was fairly quick and the young waitress was nice. Only thing that was....awkward....is that there is a full length mirror hung right across from the toilet in the women's bathroom....yes, you can watch yourself pee!

liked nothing about this place. Cashier was rude, even came outside to yell at me because my son was put garbage in the trash can (paper, a couple pop bottles, and he grabbed 2 boxes out of my car which I said we couldn't put in there so he set them down to put back in the car). I had my son take the garbage back out as she yelled at me to do. Then, it took close to 10 minutes to fill my 11 gallon gas tank. 2 people pulled up, filled up, paid and left before I was even up to 7 gallons. I went in to pay and she then told me how she was going to charge me $2 for the garbage. I said I had my son take it back out since we were told to. She then said my son was jumping up and down in the little opening to try and get the garbage to fit (he's 11, so he could not have fit his feet in the opening). Due to the fact my kids were standing next to me, I did not say the things I wanted to say. And just to also add, this occurred on Christmas Eve early in the evening. I will never stop at that place again. I have never been to a gas station where the trash cans apparently are just decorations.
