Incredible!! A trucker’s oasis! Thanks for the shout out! This place is totally on my bucket list whenever I’m able to drive cross-country! Not sure about the buffet though. The quality looks questionable. But the fact that they have a movie theatre where you can choose the movie is freakin awesome! Would love to try Einstein Bros. Bagels 🥯 only wish the closest one wasn’t 3 and a half hours from me in Ohio. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family, Ken!🎄🍾🎉🎊

Places like the Iowa 80 are a kinda treat to get to stay at, especially for a weekend. Unfortunately some of the more common places to park, like Pilot or Flying J, offer far less.

I remember back in the days traveling cross country with my parents from California to New York. My parents used to love to have breakfast, lunch and dinner at truck stops. They have been known back then for great food. It's nice to know there are still places like this one still serving great food.

Hot sauce on eggs. Yes. Preferably “Cholula” and if they’re scrambled, melted cheese over them then add picante sauce.

One of the best parts of places like this is how they can hook everything up to your truck cab. So, you can be in your sleeper and get air/heat, TV/movies, order food, etc..all without leaving your truck. It's all piped in via a duct that hooks up to your window. Especially nice when it's below zero, or in the high 90s.

I lived out there for a weekend for the Iowa 80 truck show with my dad when I was about 15 and had the time of my life I love it and the museum is awesome

I used to drive tankers over the road. That’s a very hard way of life. Kudos to you people who do this day in and day out. I never stopped at this I-80 stop, I was based on Joliet Illinois and kept the pedal to the metal before my hours ran out. Funniest time eating on the road, I got a Wendy’s Baconator and when I walked out past the fuel island there was a cattle truck loaded lol.

When I was a medical courier this was my favorite place to stop. I even go there now when I am in the area. So many choices for food or just a few minutes out of the vehicle, and, safe for a female traveling solo. Love this place and the people.

I stopped there before when I was an OTR driver. Definitely a once in a lifetime place to be for a truck driver. Didn’t care for the buffet there however lol. Great video sir!

Everything a trucker would need, cannot believe it even has a laundry!

From 2012 to 2016 I was a truck driver for Florilli transportation. Every 2 weeks I spent the night there. Brought processed chicken from Georgetown Delaware to Davenport Iowa to Oscar Mayer. Lots of great memories!! Thank you!

A big thanks to all the Truckers in these trying times. I don't know a Trucker personally but I know when I order a pair of shoes or eat a piece of corn, refill my medicine or order a part for my pos weed eater there had to be a trucker involved to make my life easier. A big shout out to establishments such as Iowa 80 for having a sibilance of home for hard working truckers. God speed.

It looks like they've finally added some fresh fruits. The last time I was there was a couple of years ago. I would never see fresh fruit which is obviously missing especially during the summer. All they had were canned peaches when I stopped there. The buffet improved quite a bit after they did their remodel to the buffet. I remember one time when I stopped there the fried chicken was room temperature, so was the fish. I didn't come back until they had did their remodel and tried them out again. The only thing lacking was fresh fruit.

Since I'll probably never go there, thanks for making the trip and giving the tour. It was fun to watch while I was supposed to be working!

I come back to this video every couple of months for whatever odd reason haha.. Just a comfy like feeling about it

Such a amazing KZread video i loved the idea of going to the worlds largest truck stop that truck stop has everything wow

Awesome Video Thank You Ken

Great video...Very informative...Never realized that a truck stop could be so large, and multi faceted! Thank you for your incredibly inspiring production.

I did get to see that truck stop once on my way to Missouri, but I was kinda in and out because I was hauling ass and didn't have time to screw around. I didn't even realize that it had ALL of these amenities. That's crazy. As a truck driver, this is amazing. I'm not an OTR driver, but if I was this would be amazing and be so much fun to stop there.
