Flying J Travel Center - Carlisle

I honestly have no idea where the bad reviews stem from. This is one of better truck stops in the east. We stayed in a reserve) spot and arrived when it was hopping with semis everywhere! The stress of the drivers can be felt as everyone is scrambling for a spot, however there's plenty of parking. Yes, there's a fair bit of reserved but no more than usual, not nearly as bad as TA's these days. The lot was clean even between trailers. There's green grass mowed nicely) for dogs too. The spots are spaced out for easier backs and large. Employees are fabulous both the night and day crew. The best employee by far was the elderly gentleman who cleaned the showers forgot his name, but it was early morning on a weekday). I'm disabled and he helped with the handicap shower and kept it open until my husband got there) with extra towels, and it was very clean! He was terrific and friendly, this man should be kept by management no matter how much you need to pay him! The showers and bathrooms are older, but both are clean. We did eat there too, the fried chicken dinner which was fairly good. Don't know how the Dennys is as we didn't go there. Summary: This J used to be quite trashy, we spent Christmas there as I recall and there was a fair bit of trash on lawns, etc. Something happened and they have cleaned this place up in a big way, great job Flying J!

You have a damn conplaint and have to stay on the damn phone forever

The cashiers are old and unfriendly. If you are tired, you should rest at home.

The worst Flying J. Was waiting for the shower for an hour they skipped several numbers. No sorry, nothing had to wait again. And after 287 should go 288, 289… And not 300, 301!!!

There are 18 reserve parking spaces, but all are occupied. also the shower is very slow
