About Us
About Us

South of the Border has been a landmark of the southeast for nearly 70 years, and we see no end in sight! Our trademark has always been a value-oriented service ~ we provide a clean, safe & fun environment for travelers of all types to visit on their way to or from the southeast. Our attitude is our philosophy – take it easy on the road of life! One may ask, “How did Pedro come about?” Well, Mr. Schafer went to Mexico to establish import connections and met two young men. He helped them get admitted to the United States, and they went to work at the motel office as bellboys for several years. People started calling them Pedro and Pancho, and eventually just Pedro.

Great truck stop that’s along with South of the Border. Very clean showers, plenty fuel lanes, restaurant, and a gift shop on the inside. We stop in often and each time it’s a pleasant experience. Also, there is plenty of parking. You can stay the night or park and walk around the area.

Pleasantly surprised at how clean the shower rooms were. But very disappointed at the lack of hot water. My shower was cold. I got about 1 minute of barely lukewarm water. The lady up front was very nice. The store was clean as well

Cute spot to stop and check out. Lots has pot holes but it's big enough to maneuver around them. Tons of souvenirs and candy are located inside the store. Staff was friendly and the restrooms/showers are clean!!

Love South of the Border. An American institution that needs to continue . Every time I am on I95 , I stop and spend something. Pedro must live on.

There are pot holes, but not many, and are easy to avoid. At 1AM, I went to take a shower. The door was locked, but for security reasons (that's the America we live in folks). She opened it, and I paid $8 for a hot shower. The shower has ventilation! Imagine that! The little restaurant has excellent chicken wings. I can't wait to get back in this area again.

Hidden jem. Too bad fuel desk isn't open like it used to be. The lot is large but does have large potholes. Still it is like a old school truck stop. Might be a good place to do a 34 hours rest in the summer. Lots of things to do for fun.

Husband & I were really looking forward to checking this place out. We contract with FedEx and drive a little straight truck. Upon arrival were met by security and asked to leave. He said no FedEx trucks allowed. They just lost our business forever. Hopefully yours too. I do believe that’s discrimination. Don’t you? I for one will never be back. No matter what company I’m contracted with. Thumbs DOWN!!!!?

Great location, I mean it's like a little Las Vegas. People were rude and the food absolutely sucked.

My husband and I visited Heavenly Wingz Thingz. We've returned several times.Note: Don't leave without ordering the Fried Wingz. Open for Breakfast and Lunch. Great prices! Excellent location: Hwy 501 & I-95, NC/SC border!

Love to stop in here due to them being the only place that has Glennheim Ginger ale but you can’t advertise yourself as 24 hours if you’re not going to stay open 24 hours. I walked up to the door and there was a girl standing in the isles that refused to unlock the door or acknowledge me in anyway.

Nice food and good value for money. The ribs were unfortunately sold out. On the downside hygiene protocols were not followed and one of the ladies cooking was eating with her hands while preparing food...

The food and the restaurant was really good was treated with a lot of respect I definitely will eat there again the people in the store there's a different attitude not really helpful I had two absolutely different experiences I highly recommend the diner the only reason I'm giving three stars is because of the attitude of the people in the store if the attitude and match the restaurant owner it would have been five stars easily I hate the fact that you're connected to this store separately you would have had five stars it seem like my being there was a problem especially when I didn't have the answers and I asked him a question it felt like it was a problem the way they responded

Not a review for the full truck stop, but for the "Heavenly Wingz and Thingz" place attached to it. This place opened last Sunday (June 18th) and it is phenomenal. The family that runs it is very nice and the wings are, wouldn't you guess it, heavenly. Definitely try the wings, chicken and rice, and top it off with some red velvet cake. Need some cheap but good breakfast? This is the place for you. Definitely stopping by any time I'm in the area.
