Bacon n egg biscuit was fresh, hot and tasty even before 5am! Doesn't sound like a big deal but just one day earlier at the Dallas TA I was informed that the Burger King opens at 7am (4th of July, to be fair). If you're an early riser you are in luck here. The bacon was great. Truck parking behind the store.
