You can find literally everything here from food to souvenirs to truck parts. They have a sit down buffet restaurant that sounded really good, a few fast food options, and also some prepared foods and snacks (like cheese curds). Tons of different gifts, a children's sections, and even cowboy boots. Worth a stop just to look around and stretch your legs!

Great trip. We arrived at approximately 4:30 pm and made our way inside the truck stop. The truck stop was huge and contained many parking spaces for both cars and trucks alike. The inside contained numerous amounts of fast food places and restaurants. There was a great selection of items to choose from. The prices were also comparable to other gas stations in the area.

Tip: I recommend spending 30 minutes here if you truly want to see everything.

Lives up to the name, a massive theatric testimony to the trucking industry, America's amazing road network, and reminding us that even on the way to incredible places we can always stop at a gas station turned truck stop wonder world. I personally don't see myself ever spending much time here but can see the appeal. There's tons to check out, well designed and clean area, and good assortment of restaurants not offered by the usual interstate stop.

I drove over the road for 44 years and never made it to Iowa 80. My wife and I were on a trip to Mt. Rushmore and had a chance to finally visit. The truck museum is awesome and the only part of the trip that is worthwhile. The main part of the store is a tourist trap at it's best. The chrome accessories are nice but the average driver couldn't afford to dress up his rig like the trucks on the floor anyway.

I like their Petro in Kenly, NC a whole lot better. Maybe I'm being too harsh but I can't see the hype in this mega truck stop.

Whether you are a trucker or not, the Iowa 80 is a must stop if you are traveling either direction on I-80. If you are a trucker than this is heaven! Featuring a large gift shop, plenty of food options, showers, and every truck accessory you could think of, Iowa 80 also features a trucking museum right next door. There are plenty of Iowa souvenirs, gifts for family and friends, and locally made food items available and the house made fudge is especially delicious. The food court has a Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, and a Caribou Coffee and if you want to sit a spell, the Iowa 80 Diner is spacious and offers your standard trucker diner fare in a beautiful dining area. If you have never been here, the World’s largest truck stop is a quintessential visit for road trippers!

We have driven by this place many times over the years without stopping and finally decided that this time we would stop. We were pleasantly surprised because this turned out to be a fun stop for all of us. Definitely worth making a quick stop to visit all of the little shopping inside grab something good to eat from many different choices or grab some snacks before you head back out on the road you will see people from all over the country here. We'll probably stop again next time.

Drove 2 hours one way to buy fenders for semi. You can't call and get anybody on the phone to find what they have prior to going. Upon getting there had to settle for a lessor product. Getting everything I need go to register and the refuse to accept company checks. Manager was ZERO help and did not care to work with us. Was less than a year ago wtote a business check for a $1000 in exhaust parts.The company lost a $1200 sale and will never step foot in Iowa 80 or a T/A again

We walked over here after visiting the Trucking museum across the parking lot. It is a huge place with various restaurants, stores, restrooms, etc. You can easily spend an hour here, or longer if you plan to eat. There are also Tesla Superchargers on the north side near the Trucking Museum. I recommend a visit. I even found Minnetonka moccasins sold here. Dairy Queen, I 80 restaurant is open 24 hours, coffee, convenience store items, and much more!

Nice, but not 5 stars nice. It's a bit more than just the typical tourist trap, but World's Largest Truck Stop, what else can you say? If you are travelling along I-80 planning to stop for lunch at Iowa 80 World's Largest Truck Stop makes sense, it's like the largest foot court at the mall. But it's still a truck stop, with a hand full gift shops as well. What makes the stop really worth while is the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum next door.

Well, we don’t exactly know what to say in this review, but first, it’s everything it says it is. It covers an enormous amount of ground and includes everything a trucker would need. Well, we are not truckers, but we found this place to be spotless and interesting. If you are driving in a storm across eastern Iowa, this is a place to duck in for cover and would keep you busy for hours. The gas was a great price, there’s plenty of parking and the kids can run around.
