Cons-filthy washroom-roller items are being cooked on the most disgusting rollers-manager at this location very rude and doesn’t wear a mask-garbage around the whole lot and the person cleaning up is just on there phone.-mold underneath where you get the drinkPros-pumps are fast-plenty of options for snacks-buy lottery tickets with a debit card

The manager was very helpful. I wanted to get the new flavor of Gatorade but I couldn’t find it. She found it for me and was really nice about me missing it. It was nice to see someone helping me and care about what I was looking for. Side note: she had proper mask usage which obviously made me happy as I have asthma and always mask up and notice when those don’t. Thank you Amber for your help!

Very nice small truck stop in that area.. couple fuel pumps and parking but limited to two only hours.. lots of hot food to choose(but watch out cause some of them only hot outside and nasty inside.. I just had mozzarella sticks and they were raw and unfresh inside) and different coffee flavors.. very nice and clean bathrooms

Great little stop for a bite to eat an get fresh coffee or food. Staff here goes above and beyond what you would expect to please the customer. The parking issue has nothing to do with them. Thats a city deal which I think is bs so you cant fault them for the cities stupidity on how they treat truck drivers. I had no issue with PD and they do check the lot. But never bothered me at all. So might just be a few bad cops who dont like trucks. Recommend you do stop an try there food its great.. 👍👍👍👍👍🚛🚚🛑 Trucker Approved....

I asked for cigarettes Newport SHORT & they gave me Newport LONG!! Sadly I didn’t notice until I was home. I live almost 2 hours away from that gas station and am only around there on weekends, I went in this weekend and asked to exchange them. All of the packets were unopen and still sealed with plastic. The woman DON that works there was giving me attitude and told me to wait an hour and a half for the manager to arrive. No one is going to wait that long. Once I got home I called and the manager AMBER was also very rude and unprofessional. She said it was MY fault for not checking the product even though THEY gave me the wrong ones! So disappointed I lost $70 worth of cigarettes and they didn’t even try to help me. They need to accept their mistakes and learn responsibility. They lost a loyal customer. Never stopping at that gas station again.

This could be a very nice place IF THE STAFF CARED. I watched 5 employees behind and around the cashier station doing nothing but talking. I heard one employee tell another that she only gets paid to work behind the counter and she doesnt have to do anything out on the floor. Well ok every place I ever worked if you werent busy you should be doing SOMETHING!! The rugs, floors, bathrooms all needed cleaning. The day manager was dealing with vendors but not MANAGING his employees. Out side ground had trash all in the bushes and perimeter. I no truckers can be pigs BUT you should still keep your grounds clean.

Worst place for shopping! BE AWARE AT WHAT YOU PURCHASE!!! A Spanish cashier. She charge me for 3 packs of Marlboro and she sell me only too . I needed the intervention of manager to fix up the issue. Is not for first time when this lady overcharged customers!!

Review №22

So much for a safe haven to park it for the night!! With ice and snow on the ground, you would think that they would make an exception to there 2 hour rule!! Nearby truck stops were full!! For future reference Thorntons & your police department need to know that when it comes to adverse weather & road conditions, its extremely dangerous to be out there on those roads!! Unbelievable!! No concern about that!! This place deserves 0 stars!! Truck drivers, STEER CLEAR!! And we all got tickets last night!! Not a happy camper this morning!!

Nice place. No showers and posted 2h truck parking only! I was a witness how a local cop passed by any single truck and check the plates and probably the time they were there. Very stupid intersection when you coming from South on IL-83 you do not have room to make a right turn! Be very careful! You going to use oncoming traffic lane or will hit the curb and even the lights pol! NO LEFT TURN IS ALLOWED,WHEN YOU LEAVE THE TRUCK STOP!!!!Just updated. A year after the review above. 02/14/19 . The same. The police is still around and taking the plates info. I feel as a criminal!!!

I love this Thorntons location and will go completely out of my way just to go there. Always the freshest coffee, fresh hot snacks, always fully staffed and very customer service oriented people.Restrooms are immaculate, store & coolers clean and stocked as well as outside grounds & fuel pump areas are always litter free and the gas pumps are maintained.Great service & great prices & a fantastic rewards system are just a few of the reasons I come here.

Thorntons is my go to gas station. Theyre the only gas station that offers unleaded 25 which is a little bit cheaper than regular unleaded and I find that it burns the same. Its also a really quick stop to pick up anything that you need including a gas station grab meal and their food is decent. My biggest thing is that the bathrooms are always clean I have never been to a Thorntons with a dirty bathroom.

Truck stops are hard to find around here, was thankful to find this just down the block from where I had to pick up. very clean, staff was friendly and they have a nice selection of foods and coffees even have flavored syrups and whipped cream.

I love Thornton’s! This intersection has 4 gas stations, one on each corner, and I refuse to go to the other stations. Thornton’s has the best prices, best store, best bathrooms, and best service! Do not go to Shell, BP, or “Fas Fuel” on the other corners!

I used to buy natural spring water from here in those pink 24 packs - they stopped selling those and now all they have is the bad tasting Niagara brand - this is plain faucet water processed through reverse osmosis. At least they could offer some ice mountain or some other natural spring water.

What good is a parking spot, if there is a threat of a citation. In today’s world of electronic logs two hour limit means little. Couldn’t risk the citation so I Departed.

$0.69 for all fountain/slushi/tea up to 44oz that alone makes me come back plus that Strawberry Shortcake Slushi OMG if there was such a thing as heaven that would be it. Plus in comparison with pilots food prices Thorntons wins hands down. However the limited 2 hour parking sucks most of us that need to park must park for a minimum of 8 hours. Big down side.

Review №57

The pricing is never consistent if you go to the one male. He overcharges every time and then walks away when you challenge hin. Last time i come here. He cou ln d be stealing so he overcharges to pocket the money. Not sure but he is the only one who raises the prices . I went to a different associate and she charged me 20.00 less. Something is not above board.

Only TWO HOURS of parking, thats if you can find spot. Also you can get a ticket if more than that, from the local establishment. On upside inside is nice, roller food, doughnuts,..... Clean mens room and store area.

Im very happy with this store Im a professional truck driver so I use this for diesel fuel in addition I also use it for my personal car I live in Illinois and this is right outside of Cook County so the fuel is always much cheaper on average E85-1.69 / unleaded 2.19 and their food services are phenomenal hot fresh made right in front of you

They will ticket you for parking your truck in their designated truck parking spots. No matter if you just spent 500 dollars or more in fuel or made retail purchases inside. Avoid at all cost.

Do not use this truck stop. They call the police on parked trucks and vans and you will end up finding a ticket on your wind sheild. There are three other gas stations around that intersection that you can use instead. One star is too much but cant go lower than that.

The gas station is very nice and the employees are friendly; I get my coffee from here a few times a week. The only issue is that since it is a truck stop as well, the lines can get really long during peak hours.

9:00 in the morning, 8 people in line, and 2 people behind the counter. 1 is helping customers, and the other? Hes straightening chew tobacco behind the counter. And complaining loudly about how the shift before didnt do it. Meanwhile all the people who stopped in and expected to be on the go are waiting in a long line. Its like this ALL THE TIME. 4-5 employees and maybe 1-2 actually helping customers get out the damn door. I hate stopping here.
