Cloverdale Travel Plaza

Really nice restaurant and good home comfort food. Parking is FREE outback for tractor trailers on and if you fuel more than 100 gallons you get $10 cash.

The server (Karen) was working as the busser as well as the lady who cashes you out. She was a one woman team serving 20+ people and did an incredible job!

I was very impressed with her work ethic and she didn’t leave any table unturned.

The cook did an incredible job as well, I ordered the white fish & home fries.

Restaurant was clean as well.

Visited 8/18/23

Free parking, good shower with fresh towels and rag.The restrooms are bad, but not because of management or them being nasty. The drivers come in here and treat it like a dump. Came in an someone didn't even have the decency to flush. Leaving toilet paper on the floor. Do better fellow drivers

I would like to start out this review by not only sharing about my personal experiences here But, also providing the latest updated information so that you will not be negatively influenced by previous reviews that have already been posted.

Parking:

As of January 1, 2024 the $10.00 parking fee has been canceled. Although, the parking lot is big & paved there are a few areas that can be rougher too navigate through but not anything you wouldn't experience in any construction zone across this country.

Staff:

The graciousness that was displayed towards me & other customers was top notch and made my entire experience very pleasant.

Food:

I ate at the restraunt and was very satisfied with not only the quality But, also how it was presented. I had eggs, corn beef hash & toast. The beverage came in a larger than normal sized cup unlike most restraunts today. The food was prepared exactly how I had ordered it and came to my table in less time than I had anticipated. For dessert I had chocolate mouse pie and everything that I ordered was perfect in every way. There are also other food choices if you might want to grab something and go.
Mr. Biggs fried chicken is available with a newly opened Hunt Brothers Pizza.
Personally, regardless of what you choose to eat your customer service experience will make everything just taste that much better.

Let's Talk About Prices:

Pricing for food & beverage were below average for what you would pay elsewhere But, yet the quality & portion sizes were more than enough for a big appetite.

Please don't miss out on an opportunity for Great Food, Excellent customer service and Fantastic prices when you are in Cloverdale, Indiana.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS PLACE!!!

Amazing place great people super Clean. Can’t say enough about the great atmosphere here!!!

Love this truck stop. There is a lot of variety of restaurants around there and there is a market about 1/2 of mile from there.

Got Haley on her first day alone as a waitress. She was fast, friendly and courteous despite being alone and having 4 or 5 tables to wait on and 2 to-go orders. The food here needs no explanation. Stellar as always. 5 stars because I only stop here for the restaurant. The store could use some work, but I'm used to that and it doesn't really bother me anyhow. The only real complaint I had this time was there was no toilet paper in the restrooms, but that was quickly handled after I told the guys in the store.

Best breakfast I've had all week.

Large parking lot, with a bit of a hill to work up an appetite. Nicely remodeled restrooms, a nice 'old school' truck stop feel in the rest of the place, including the restaurant. Took full advantage of the all day breakfast, and it was easily the best breakfast I've had in awhile, leaving me full. Will definitely be a regular stop whenever I roll through.

The fish fillet was absolutely delicious. It was cooked to perfection, just like the mash and gravy. Green beans were absolutely horrifying though.

But overall it was worth the stop. Coming back for sure. Highly recommend regardless !!!!!

This definitely is a good old school truck stop. The food was good and the service was good and friendly. Many places like these have closed down, This place is definitely one I will be stopping at more frequently. I spent 34hr break hear and it was nice and peaceful. I recommend this place to any trucker that appreciate the way truck stops used to be unlike how a lot of them are nowadays.

Good Mom and Pop place. Breakfast served all day. Waitress was very cool.

I couldn’t decide so I asked the waitress what she liked on the menu. She suggested the country fried steak so I ordered it and I have to say, I believe it was the very one I’ve ever had. Tender and perfectly cooked unlike most places that over cook them or the breading just falls away. Delicious!

Came in for dinner, Mamie was out waitress. She was great. My over the road breakfast was fantastic and my husband got the chicken Alfredo and it was amazing!! Mamie told us the cook makes her own Alfredo sauce. Great dinner!!

Great facility's and the restaurant makes sure you leave full. I ordered the over the road breakfast and every bite was delicious.

Food was decent, cheap and fast. Place was ilder but clean

Let’s start this off by saying this is not a Pilot or Loves.. ITS AN OLD SCHOOL TRUCKSTOP PEOPLE! Parking lot has plenty of room and a repair shop if needed. The showers were clean and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean and the food was good. Finally found a spot you can park and not have to eat fast food like all the others mentioned have converted to.

The food is excellent and the price is good. But a note to the management!
It is VERY psychologically counter-productive to make even your customers who are good tippers . . . to feel like cheap-skates. You start your pre-sent tip amounts . . . at 25% and go up from there!!!! SERIOUSLY????
You may shame a few into such a large tip; but I think you will find most hard-working Americans to be a little shocked and resent how programming your machine like this makes them feel. It is presumptuous to the max, and resulted in me leaving a lesser tip than I usually do.

I just don't like people presuming to gaslight their way into my wallet!

This place has really good food and waitress was really nice. They have CLEAN bathrooms and store. Yes we will stop again when passing through.

After reading some reviews, decided to add my two cents. I've been there a number of times while over the road and it's always been a nice haven to park at, get a good meal and get some rest. Sure, it's an older place, but service has always been decent. To all the haters, sure, you might get overlooked sometime and you just might not be able to eat off the floor, but c'mon now, it's a busy place and sometimes suffers from not enough help. Please show a little live and give them a break. Peace out.

Cloverdale truck plaza deserves a few gold stars , bathrooms new, new showers,new restaurant, great food and great service

Don't let the appearance fool you. We stopped here on a cross-country roadtrip. This place has incredible food and very friendly service. The BLT was amazing, including the tomatoes, and I don't even like tomatoes that much. Unfortunately we probably won't pass through there again anytime soon, because I would totally love to go back.
