Turkey Lake-Turnpike Rest Area

This rest stop has been remodeled recently and it offers a wide variety of food options. The rest stop offers a second building near the Shell Gas Station that includes Nathan’s Hot Dogs along with a convenience store. I was surprised to find cheap prices at the gas pumps and that’s always welcoming.

This is the ideal rest area on the FL Turnpike!
The older bldg. could not be renovated so they torn it down and built a new & improved one about 1 ½ yrs. ago. Gone are the days of gas gouging on the Turnpike. The price here at the Shell is right on point and the pump area is as clean as can be. There’s even an attendant cleaning the pumps and refilling the supplies on a regular basis. Of special note is that the air and water for your tires are FREE! Attached to the Shell is a Nathan’s Famous Coney Island restaurant.
The rest area itself is separate and is immaculate. There is always someone cleaning the rest rooms and flowers abound. The eating area is kid friending as there is not only smaller tables for the children to eat at, but there is a separate outside dining & play area. You’ll find Wendy’s, Dunkin and many other food selections.
