Our Story

At Route 63 Travel Plaza, we believe that the journey should be just as enjoyable as the destination. Nestled along the scenic Route 63, our establishment is more than just a stop along the way – it's a destination in itself. Our owners Tim and Kendra took over in 2014 to keep our truck stop local and family owned, and they expanded the diner menu options and increased the portions to provide travelers and the community the most bang for their buck. As a combination diner, convenience store, and gas station, we offer weary travelers a haven where they can refuel both their vehicles and their spirits.

Step inside our welcoming diner and breathe in the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon. Our menu boasts an array of hearty breakfast options, satisfying lunches, and delicious dinners crafted to appeal to every palate. Whether you're craving a classic cheeseburger, a plate of biscuits and gravy, or homemade pizza, our friendly staff is ready to serve up a memorable dining experience.

But Route 63 Travel Plaza is more than just a place to grab a bite to eat – it's a gathering spot where friends and family can come together to share stories and laughter. Our spacious lounge and welcoming atmosphere make every meal a chance to connect and unwind before hitting the road once again.

In addition to our dining offerings, Route 63 Travel Plaza features a well-stocked convenience store, providing travelers with everything they need for their journey. From snacks and beverages to travel essentials and souvenirs, our shelves are filled with carefully curated items, such as sunglasses, work gloves, oil and fluids, truck accessories, sodas, chips, and more designed to make life on the road a little bit easier. Forgot to pack sunscreen for your outdoor adventure? Need to pick up a last-minute gift for a loved one back home? We've got you covered at Route 63 Travel Plaza.

Of course, no travel plaza would be complete without a reliable gas station, and Route 63 Travel Plaza delivers on this front as well. Our state-of-the-art pumps and competitive fuel prices ensure that you can fill up your tank without breaking the bank. Plus, our convenient location makes us the perfect pit stop for travelers passing through the area from Hwy 56, Hwy 64, Hwy 9 and more.

At Route 63 Travel Plaza, we're committed to providing our guests with exceptional service and top-notch amenities. Whether you're a weary traveler in need of a hot meal and a friendly face or a local resident stopping by for your morning cup of coffee, we strive to exceed your expectations at every turn.

This is one of them trucker's hidden gems. Good amount of parking, and a nice hot meal. I had the good fortune of having a beautiful young lady as a waitress, and she was just the sweetest thing. Great personality, and even though she got pretty swamped soon after I ordered, did not miss a beat. Looks like the locals already know, so this review is meant for you fellow truckers. A good consideration if you happen to be passing through.

On 10/3/2024 Angus Arviso had this to say:
Old time little truck stop with amazing food options for such an amazing price. Everything is home cooked and it’s to die for so definitely give these guys the business and worth the stop for a truck driver also cook wait time is a short wait but compared to dennys and other restaurants they are fast
