Stopped here twice this week for gas on a 1000 mile round trip to Jacksonville from the Detroit area. They were a full 20 cents less per gal than everyone else and my car is still running great, ~ 36-38 mpg. And what a selection at the pump! So many options it took me two attempts to figure out the right combination of grade and fill nozzle to select. Oh, and they even had a favorite low carb peanut butter cup choice for my sweet tooth, first place like this on the road Ive been able to find them; a little pricey but worth the satisfaction. Added an inexpensive 32oz fountain soda and good to go!

We go there for gaming and its a good stop for a quick spin of the wheel, gaming area is kinda small but quaint and the games are all fairly new and well maintained. Nice spot.

One of the best truck stops out there. Can usually find parking here 24/7 and Steak n Shake inside is always open. Lots of other restaurants within walking distance. Can’t ask for anything more

Holy cow I have hit the mother load here. The deli in the truck stop is AMAZING, the place isn’t over crowded to get fuel, plus you have a variety of places to eat. Love this stop

First impressions count and when I got here most of the fuel islands were shut down. And a mess. And the guy inside didnt bother to say hello and I spent $600 on diesel. Wont be stopping again. There are a lot of choices for truck stops and this wasnt good. It was so dirty I didnt dare try the food.Additional: had to fuel here again, no choice. I got a few snacks and asked the girl at the checkout for a bag. She pointed to a pile on the counter and told me to get my own. She was too busy flirting with some black employee. Worst truck stop in America.

Thorntons is one of my favorite gas stations. If we are stopping for snacks this is ussually the place. Gas is ok.

The store is great!! Thats if you can get to it because the snow/ice removal company takes forever to show up. They need someone closer that can be there a lot faster. Thortons is always very busy. Hopefully theyll get a closer company that can keep the parking lots safe and accessible in a timely manner so nobody gets injured and they dont lose business over it.

The level of trash on the ground is alarming, even for Illinois. Take some ownership and pride in your facility. Def at the pump decent selection inside.

A large truck stop with a Subway and Steak and Shake fast food. I was only in and out of there in a few minutes so I didnt look around, but they had just about everything a normal pilot or Flying J does. The Steak and Shake was GOOOD!!!

Clean, great and easy location off interstate. Friendly staff. Part of a steak n shake/ gas station combo. Has area for semi trucks and regular cars. Restrooms are large enough for plus size people (not having to use handicap stalls).

Excellent stop! Love this place!Got the fresh coffee! And the steak burrito is amazing! For the price of 4.49 you get a burrito big enough to feed 2 people or 1 with a huge appetite.

Do NOT stop if you are an otr driver planning to park. They let Wright tree trimmers take up a good chunk of the lot. Use the fuel stop across the street.

So literally 20 minutes ago I stop by 2 grab a bite fuel up its the end of the week and Ive got my last $10 I ordered a simple cheeseburger and a order of wedges I dont know how she did it but I love how hard my bread was cheap microwave the whole sandwich Brown lettuce ketchup and all also thank you for whatever that black ashy material was on my potato wedges. What is it more the fact that she said something I looked at her face while she was trying to talk to the cashier and she looks at me and says hi and walk to the back I hope for the sake of the next customer you were telling the cashier she should make the next order because you dont know what that you are doing thought $6.91 was a deal but I guess you get what you pay for.

For it being gas station food it was really top notch. I ordered a Angus burger which was like $6 because I got a extra Patty and more bacon. I got the extra because I was expecting a tiny McDonalds burger, but the burger was absolutely huge. It was really good both taste and price wise.

Great experience! Friendly staff, clean showers,cheap laundry $1 to wash 75¢ to dry. Truck parking never filled up. I dont think enough drivers know about the place. There is another place across the street that has truck parking also. Lots of restaurant options nearby too. Stake and Shake connected to Thorntons was very busy, but enjoyed the experience and food.Wendys across the parking lot, Taco Bell within walking distance. Cracker Barrel across the street. A few hotels close by if you dont want to ideal.

Was going to rate 4 Stars because it doesnt have the Wow factors of Walcott or Jubitz, but what it has it does well. Big lot without moon craters. Everything works. Reasonable prices (e.g. Laundry: $1 wash $. 75 dry) Cheap ATM ($1 Fee) Hot food and a couple of fast food options within walking distance. People who give a damn (Want an extra towel for your shower?) Exceeded expectations!

Review №68

Stopped in for my usual chicken salad and was really disappointed to the point of being disgusted. The sub stand with all the fixn keeps getting dirtier and filthier. The lettuce was brown and cross contamination from on item to another. This has been an ongoing problem to the point that I stopped going there for awhile. Nothing has changed and wont be back till new staff is working the sub shop. Threw the sandwich away and went to Wendys next door.
