Reviews for Iron Horse Travel Center in Merkel, TX
While, driving the semi to Midland Texas a couple of months back I spotted this place and upon entering I was HAPPY!!! It's... white glove clean the showers and towels are clean fresh and smell great. And roomy just perfect in my opinion...the shelves arestocked and perfectly organized...if you can't find something in this store you have a problem internally because this storetruly has something for anyone and everyone. The fountain/coffee area is stocked with varieties of flavors with "sonic" ice orcubed . And to finish off this I'd like to mention the staff while they may need a little help in the personality departmentbecause you don't feel as welcomed by them as you do walking in this clean and really beautiful store they have all been kind.And I see them twice a week at various times thru the day so I believe I have the staff covered and you all do a great job athaving this store look and feel amazing !!! Thanks from every trucker who has taken a shower and from my wife for your "edible""chewable" "sonic" ice. And from the guy who always gets 2 butters and a bucket of popcorn. We all thank you Read more
The travel center itself is very nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and they have a large selection of drinks and... snacks. Unfortunately the Biolerman BBQ that is there was lacking. I really wanted to love the brisket breakfast taco but thetortilla was soggy/mushy and had no flavor. How does brisket not have flavor? Anywho, I would suggest toasting the tortillafirst. ???????????

My man pulled in to take his 30 minute break and take the dog out . Big fenced in dog area and very clean truck/ fuel stop with... everything you need for the road! Big place with unique snacks and lots of cool , tempting gifts. BROILERMAN BBQ looks great butwe didn?t come hungry so I just got him some homemade banana pudding and cherry cobbler. Clean restrooms and nice store, so Imarked it in our truck exits book to make sure we return someday soon!! Read more
Fist time ever traveling with my husband in his semi. We would stop nightly for a shower at other truck stops ?? I got say this... place has the cleanest showers / bathrooms. The food / snacks were reasonable. Staff is nice. Read more
This is a new fuel stop and definitely worth stopping at. Fuel prices are as much as .60 cheaper than the ripoff corporate truck... stops. Of course the BBQ is good because it?s Texas. Read more
First time stopping here and was not disappointed. Very clean. Awesome brisket BBQ sandwiches. Comes with a side and we were... gonna get okra. We were in a hurry and it was gonna take a few for okra to cook so we opted to not have it....which is totallyfine and actually great cause they make it fresh so I bet it's delicious. And something I haven't seen before, a fenced in petarea with a bench. Great for allowing pets out and keeping them safe. Read more
Our family often travels from North Dallas to El Paso and this is one of the cleanest and enticing rest stop along the way which... is tailored for 18 wheelers yet never has that heavy traffic. There are countless numbers of items to purchase for your journeyplus hot BBQ to purchase. They have different clothing items and miscellaneous items to buy as souvenirs. I prefer this stopcompared to all the PILOTS, Shell, etc. I recommend you stop here especially if you have a family with small kids. Read more
