    The Checkerd Flag across the lot from the Pilot is much better than the Iowa 80 restaurant.

    I was at the truck stop in Jane Lew last week. Very nice since they've opened the new building. Shower was good. The restaurant is pretty decent as well. Looks like they are opening either some type of restaurant or bar in the same building as the actual truckstop, I'm guessing a bar?

    I do if I’m stuck at that place. Laid over there once and the first 2 choices off their restaurant menu they were “out” of. So I ate Taco Bell.

    The one other time I actually ate at the restaurant, I’ll be nice and say it was average but overpriced and slow.

    I love Taco Bell, but...
    It sounds like you have cancer if you can’t handle fast food.
    You lived a good life and you will be missed.
