    I have been going there for years. I would set up my trips to park there when able.
    Food is good and the staff is friendly.
    Only complaint I heard from the waitstaff after it became a TA was that the tips went down, due to some drivers tipping like it was a TA.
    Remember guys and gals. 15% is old news. If your service is good 20% is more common. I want those waitresses to stay there, many have been there for years.
    Whenever I would have a load going to Chicago I would stop there for the night. No other TS in the area has the parking and amenity's that they have there.
    It use to be very easy to find parking there any time of day. Though swift bobtails would fill the lot some days, though most that came there allot would double up there trucks in spots to conserve space.
    Parking is harder to get there now that it is a TA. Since more large company's will allow fueling there now.
    It is still in my top 5 favorite truck stops in the country.

    That is just an overall good truckstop if you ask me. Great place to eat,parking is good if you get there before it fills up. Lots of room to get out and walk for some leg strecthing or exercise and there are some other decent places across the road to eat and or get a drink on your time off. Good place to go.Whenever I would have to pickup or deliver in Minooka i would always make sure I had my trip planned to pop in there instead of trying to get down the road to that ridiculous pilot.

    I have stopped here for many years. Great food. If you go past the fuel desk there is a TV room showers and rest rooms. Always have been super clean when I have stopped there. How is it that a place like this can do it right all these years and others never seem to get it ever.
