I lime coming here. It gives me ideas for my truck but they certainly don't have a lot for the LoneStar. Sad... and they are a bit pricey. The ideas I get from them usually leads me to Amazon. Much cheaper for the same exact product

Pump 1 was leaking fuel. It's huge section of goodies but mostly overpriced.
I keep missing to get to the trucks museum, because it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, hours are from 9am to 5pm.

Really awesome truck stop with everything a driver could need and then some. Staff are friendly and eager to help if you have any questions. Fun place to take a break, get a haircut or dental work, and look around or grab a bite to eat. I would avoid their restaurant but everything else is great.

First visit ever yesterday, in spite of living in the vicinity years ago and occasionally driving past. Possibly the original super-stop for travelers and truckers. Includes a food court of six different fast-food chains, as well as a sit-down restaurant. Souvenirs for sale as well as unique food options in addition to the expected name brands. Gas yesterday was $0.40/gal cheaper than in Iowa City.

Great place to stop in if you have been on the road and want some good food or use of a clean restroom. They check them once an hour!
You also can sleep there as well in your car, camper or truck or semi. (They seperate semis to one side and everyone else to the other)
They have every amenity you could need including a healthcare clinic, dentists, barber, gift shop, lots of food options - even a small movie theater and showers. (You do have to buy a ticket to use these things)
I have eaten in the main restaurant a few times and the food is decent. They also have a buffet too.
I slept overnight once in the back of my minivan also and it not the quietest place and trucks and cars are coming in all night, but I am a light sleeper and still managed to get a decent night's sleep once I drifted off.
Highly recommend stopping in if you find yourself on I-80 and needed gas/food or a place to stop and sleep.
Oh they also have a vehicle museum near the premises as well that's worth seeing
