    I used to stop there to fuel and eat before it became a TA. Their pork chops were to die for, thick, juicy, and tasty. Stopped there once after it became a TA and couldn't believe it. Why somebody would ruin something so good is beyond me. Second only to the ruination of the NM Giant by Pilot.

    I agree what you said about Iowa 80, yes Gramma's kitchen is much better, especially their pork chops. I have been going there for years.

    They have a great chrome shop there but it's way to overpriced for my taste....I just browse and write down a part number and have my chrome guy order it for me at much better prices...
