    I think i was exceptionally happy with my stop there considering i had just run that 72/36 run from springfield to I-35. That is like no truck land. just a few small scattered truckstops and no rest/parking areas....

    I like this truck stop... Don't forget about the little sandwich shop they have where you order what you want on the Kiosk screen... Sure beats subway.... Right across the parking lot they also have a Mexican food restaurant with good margaritas....

    New Berlin, exit 82, but not open 24 and big holes to eat trucks.

    Barry, IL, Unfriendly people that believe you should not park there unless you buy fuel.
     
    TruckDuo and goblue Thank this.

    The Mexican restaurant, get the pablomo mushroom dish and drinks and then head for the chocolate store. Hit the kiosk for a fresh breakfast.

    New Berlin exit 82 is now a Road Ranger/ Pilot and is open 24/7...

    And I agree with Barry,IL not to mention the bathroom is nasty and tiny...
     
    TruckDuo and Roadmedic Thank this.

    I usually get off before it and go cross country to home. Have not been through there lately.
