Lose yourself in the world of the American trucker. This place is massive with a trucking museum, food court, barber shop, and all the accessories a road warrior could want. Worth a stop!

MorganAugust 19, 2012Bathrooms were impeccably clean and anything you need they most likely have. Try Caribou Coffee's hot chai tea with soy milk, it feels like Christmas in your stomach.
Keith PetersenJune 28, 2023Front of house is kitschy dust collectors, that leads into clothing (everything from western wear to funny t shirts), a huge food court and then a huge truck parts selection. Fun diversion from road.
Scott ArchieMarch 14, 2014great place, lot of friendly people, and I like the fact that is the worlds largest truck stop!
OK, I've never seen anything quite like this. Truly impressive, and worth seeing. Once! It's like a truck stop the size of a Walmart. They sell musical instruments. Really, it is a tourist attract
Jeremiah AdamsMay 6, 2013Good place to park for the night. However it's become a tourist trap with too many non truck drivers who don't get that this our home away from home and can gee really pushy. Awesome food though!- I love there free wifi. Restrooms & showers are always clean. The food and hot coffee is good. There Is Always Truck Parking Even Late At night.
Some people don't understand what TRUCKSTOP means. Let me explain. These were used by truckers, predecessor to the travel plazas that cater to you, the fourwheeler and rv. Quit your whining.
Steve TringlSeptember 26, 2015A huge truck stop with lot a touristy gift shop. It is a fun place to say that you've been to.
Magenta ClarkJanuary 17, 2012The cafe has amazing reubens, worth a try. Also, good place to pick up souvenirs for family if you don't mind it being a bit pricey.![Evan[Bu]](https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/user/32x32/1718914-0E4PXEUXZ2KFIAR4.jpg "Evan[Bu]")
Evan[Bu]November 7, 2011The world's largest truck stop has it all! Tip: If you're headed west on Interstate 80, gas tends to be cheaper towards Des Moines. If going east, gas will get more expensive, especially in Illinois.- Amy SmithAugust 7, 2014Excellent stop with everything a trucker would need and more! Eat at the buffet.
Show some love to a trucker; they are the reason you have anything in your home or in your fridge. Hell, they are the reason you are not reading this naked too.
If the ribeye is on the specials board you can't go wrong.
You can use wifi in the parking lot as well. Not just inside. They have several antennas to connect to.- Evan[Bu]November 23, 2013Gas is usually 2-3 cents cheaper across the street at Pilot. You're paying the extra coin for the experience of the World's Largest Truckstop. So wait, is this a gas station or a hooker?!
This place has it all! Food, supplies, fuel...just a warm friendly place.
Joy JeffriesDecember 3, 2014Couldn't leave without buying something! Wonderful truck stop. Even got a picture.
Austin WestermannDecember 7, 2015Great place to stop just to say you were here, it is pretty cool after all👌🏻
Leo LionMay 20, 2014get a postcard / knick knacks here... buy gas across the street, the pumps are absolutely insane here !!
Amanda is the sweetest person in Iowa. Lovely smile and so warm. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a server. 
You have to go to the building to the east to Cash a T-check. But there is NO FEE to cash them here unlike most other places.
kimberly edwardsDecember 29, 2014Lots to see...plan on spending a while here...although it wasn't as cheesy as I would have hoped!
Jonathan PercyOctober 26, 2010A great selection of knives, trucking equipment, sweet t-shirts, and anything else you'd ever want from a truck stop.
PFC Tyler HammerJuly 17, 2014that is one of my favorite truck stop to go to haven't been over the road and over 4 years I would love to go again to come visit that place
Leezah TarrantJanuary 3, 2014I did not care for the showers. No attendant. I needed extra towels. The towel closet was left open so I could help myself. They need to be cleaned with bleach really well!
Mike VeneziaNovember 14, 2013If your a owner operator bring lots of money they have all the toys for your big rig
- drew tarvinAugust 8, 2015Maybe it's because we live in the world of "Biggie Sized" things but I thought it'd be bigger.
Plenty of truck parking! Kind of a tourist trap, but a good place to stop for a while.
Gabriel CilluffoFebruary 26, 2011Finally I get to eat here. Been to the Pilot twice. First time in the TA. Huge place I will stop again :-) good breakfast buffet.
Lindsey NewcombNovember 13, 2010You can take a shower; you can see a dentist, but don't expect to find beer. Gotta go across the street for that.
The food in the iowa 80 is the best meal ive had in awhile ^ that guys is nuts... Way better than country puke or iron shits
Joe MayoJuly 19, 2011The Orange Julius has some good smoothies. Pretty much the only healthy choice in the whole place!
- If you have. More then four tires, its a place to atop. Of not, move on to the nearest gas station!
