Iowa 80 Truck Stop

So, this is just about the food? FWIW, I think most drivers would confirm that the food there ain't THAT big of a deal, and certainly was never the main draw. Especially if you end up parking in "the back 40" and have to hike 1/2 mile to get to the restaurant.

 

30 years ago Iowa 80 was state of the art and had lots to offer. Food was excellent, a pub across the road. I was there occasionally as Iowa was on my weekly route
I generally fuelled and ate at the mom & pop establishments as food was cheaper

 

Whike I do enjoy the diner at Iowa 80 (open 24/7) that mom and pop across the street has excellent food.

 

Never stopped there when I was driving. It’s not too far , was thinking about paying a visit.

 

Always kind of a neat place to stop at, but the one time I ate in the restaurant I came away far less than whelmed, let alone overwhelmed.

 

Last time I stopped in there was 2017. Food was ok, nothing to brag about. Other than parking, the place is no big deal. It has gone downhill since the late 90's
