Pompano Beach Service Plaza

It’s convenient and clean, with several useful shops and restaurants to choose from. And the bathrooms were clean.

Nice plaza in Pompano! Everything is brand new, from the pumps, to the buildings to the air machine for your tires. Which are free btw and abundant, so you don’t have to wait. There’s plenty of parking and free windshield sprayers/​cleaners. Everything is clearly labeled so you can get back on the highway and going in the appropriate direction. Fast food restaurants line the inside and there is 24 hour security.

The good — This «service plaza» /​rest stop is relatively new, so everything is in good condition, and signage to enter/​exit the turnpike and to park, get gas or visit the main building is abundant and clear. This service plaza contains a Shell gas station, a Dunkin’ Donuts, Wendy’s and a Pizza Hut. This is actually one of the smaller rest stops along this portion of the Turnpike.
The bad — Though this service plaza was just recently designed and built, it seems way too small to service the amount of people who visit here and stop for food. The men’s restroom had someone in every stall, and when I was considering grabbing lunch at one of the restaurants, the long lines of people purchasing and then waiting on their food quickly deterred me. I stopped here on a Sunday at around 2 p.m. and the line to place an order at the Wendy’s was at least 10 people deep and it probably would’ve taken 10 or 15 minutes before I could place my order. Needless to say I made the decision to drive to the next exit, get off the Turnpike and find another place to eat.

This is one of the newest service plazas on the Florida Turnpike. Very beautiful, very clean. Very clean restrooms. Stop buying get a bite to eat, pick up a coffee, and get that souvenir that you forgot.
This is a trend on the Florida Turnpike right now. They are upgrading all of their plazas. I found prices of food and beverages comparable to what is in your cities and towns. I also noticed that the price of gasoline is competitive also.
If you have never been to one of the service plazas on the Florida Turnpike. Don’t be afraid, they are not going to take advantage of you.
When passing through again, I’ll definitely stop by.

This is the most beautiful plaza I’ve ever seen. Everything is extremely clean. The décor is surprisingly beautiful with stone walls new bathrooms etc. My favorite part of this plaza is the outdoor pet park. Gated area to let your pet run free and go to the restroom. Baggies and water is provided in the park as well. I was honestly impressed.

Provides needed services along the turnpike. I can’t remember anything super special about this place, other than it saved us having to get off and get back on the pike. It was very nice as far as plazas go, though — clean, ample amenities, and well kept. That’s all I have — a good 4 stars.

Aweful attendants and poor service. Service attendants are rude and pushy. If you have a camper forget about getting gas because you can hardly fit in the station and there is absolutely no parking for campers and if you stay at your pump for longer than 3 minutes the attendants are threatening to call the police. The restaurants inside take an eternity to prepare your food as well. Just go the extra 45 miles to the next stop.

The best south florida service plaza.
the have a few food options a great convenance store late hours a huge parking lot so you can pull off and take a nap if you’re tired.
The facility is immaculately maintained and the gas station attached has a huge bathroom and convince store if you’re filling up you can skip the main facility.
Looks like they have hook ups for truckers too.
The Pizza hut on site seems to have airport prices here but Dunkin donuts seems like pretty close to normal pricing.

This service rest stop is updatef. Pizza hut, wendys, dunkin donut & a convinient store.
Pizza hut has great fresh personal pizzas & spicy HOT wings. Dont forget a vitamin water.
Bathroom is clean. With a lot of stauls. Cleaning ladies at work.

Clean area and not a long line. I did not eat here but stopped to change my niece’s diaper so we can head to Orlando. I appreciate the cleanliness of the area.

The new-​ish plaza of Pompano Beach. This is probably the only one that’s a little different than the other new ones along the FL turnpike. It’s quite easy to get in and out of and there’s always plenty of food and drinks available for purchase.

Recently remodeled with new bathrooms and market place. A few places to grab a quick bite. I’m used to the Pt. St. Lucie rest stop which has more options and seems bigger. I feel like this rest stop is smaller which means it’s more crowded and the service would be slower. My recent stop was just to get some water and use the bathroom, so I can’t really comment on the restaurants or gift shops.

If you are driving the turnpike, the service plazas are pretty few and far in between, but this is one of the nicer ones, so if you are going to stop at one, this is the one I would use. The restrooms here are cleaner than the others, and being a newer construction, it is just more pleasant.
Inside here, you have a Dunkin Donuts, a Wendy’s, a Pizza Hut, a small retail store, and a Shell gas station. Not big choices, but like I said, it is cleaner, newer and more pleasant.
4 stars only because it is a service plaza, and how good can it be. I would like to see more interesting food choices.

Bottom line — definitely a nice place to take a quick pit stop when traveling on the toll road.
The best part of this plaza were the clean rest rooms. Let’s hope it stays that way. This place was very nice overall and a comfortable place to take a break from the holiday travel.

Rating rest areas is not a common practice but it does seem trendy with others. Plenty of high priced food options, the usual noise and construction, and pretty clean restrooms. Not far from my home — if I had to go, though, I would hold it…

I feel a little bit silly reviewing a service plaza, but this place is pretty darn cool. New contruction with clean facilities and the typical resturaunts. But the awesome thing about this place is the dog park! Thank you for putting in a dog park, it is a lifesaver on a roadtrip to have a place to let my dog shake out her crazies…

Great place to stop at before heading over to the Keys or to take a break after driving the long trek from ther Keys.
Well maintained and clean restrooms, an assortment of fast food places, and a gas station are all available at this plaza.
