About Arlene's Truck Stop

Arlene's Truck Stop is a convenient stop for travelers and locals alike. The restaurant offers a variety of diner-style dishes, including chili with jalapeños and Rubens. The service is always top-notch, with friendly and engaging servers. The diner is clean and older, but makes up for its age with its delectable offerings. Parking is available on site, including dedicated spots for truckers and campers. The restaurant has decent parking for semi trucks and is located about a mile off the interstate. It is affordable compared to other places, and the wait staff is friendly. Although the updates look great, some customers have noted that the removal of booths reduced seating by 56 seats, making it difficult for larger families and leading to longer waits. The bar top has been changed, and some feel it doesn’t meet the restaurant’s needs, as customers might prefer eye contact with their party instead of looking out at the gas station. Despite these changes, the restaurant remains a reliable stop, known for its good food and helpful staff. The convenience store is cramped but offers drinks, ice cream, and snacks. Customers have shared stories of staff going above and beyond, including helping stranded travelers with food and assistance.
