    Wife & I had our Thanksgiving dinner here. Place got remodeled a year ago. They have a buffet that tastes really good. We've had Iron Skillet buffets so we had low hopes going into it. Pleasantly surprised. If your in the area....highly recommend it. Its a Pilot now so you can use your shower points here.

    Last year I had my thanksgiving at the petro in Birmingham and it was really good. Had barbecue with the regular thanksgiving stuff. This year I stopped at theWeatherford petro and was less than thrilled. Oh well can't win them all!

    We love desert. They had several pies, bread pudding, apple cobbler. All of it fresh.

    A McDonald's across the street.

    Parking lot needs to be repaved.

    Really not a pilot.

    It is a Road Ranger, affiliated with Pilot fuel.
