Was very impressed at how clean the bathrooms looked, given the large amount of traffic each receive. I appreciate the baby changing station in the male restroom, in compliance with recent state laws.

Best coffee I had at a truck stop in a long time, sunshine breakfast blend. I got it in the afternoon so I hope I didn't break any rulesšŸ˜…šŸ˜³ they have a good food court type thing for a great Philly cheese steak sandwich.šŸ˜‹ There is a steak n shake there as well. Overall a decent place to stop. I've done my 10hr break there a few times so it's on my list of good places with no lot lizards! šŸ˜‚

The restrooms at Woodland Rd Lincoln, il are filthy the last 3 times we have stopped there. We travel past this location frequently and always stop.Today one womens toilet was out of order and every other stall was dirty and not flushed. Trash on the floor.

Staff seemed friendly they were chatting amongst each other didn’t really notice anyone walk in the door it seemed like. The bathroom was extremely dirty. One of the panels on the wall that is a maintenance cover was coming off and had some crusty stuff around it. The store had a lot of food options but wasn’t very clean.

Used to be a really nice truck stop. Hadn’t been there in years. Just another filthy Pilot now. If it’s this filthy in the customer area, I can’t imagine the kitchens any cleaner. Skip that dinner and move on down the road.

The gas station/store is fine however the restrooms are literally the nastiest I have seen in several years. It look like it hadn't been cleaned in the last 24 hours easily at a very busy stop.

Stopped here twice this week for gas on a 1000 mile round trip to Jacksonville from the Detroit area. They were a full 20 cents less per gal than everyone else and my car is still running great, ~ 36-38 mpg. And what a selection at the pump! So many options it took me two attempts to figure out the right combination of grade and fill nozzle to select. Oh, and they even had a favorite low carb peanut butter cup choice for my sweet tooth, first place like this on the road I've been able to find them; a little pricey but worth the satisfaction. Added an inexpensive 32oz fountain soda and good to go!

On the way in town we stopped at the BP gas ā›½ļø station across the street. Wishing we had gone back there on our way back out of town. They say Pilot - Logo and everything, but NO discount for GoodSam members at this one. They personally told us they are not a Pilot.šŸ¤”Hum, I don’t know 🤷 about that? It sure looks like it is to me. Come on, gasoline ā›½ļø is high enough!

We are a trucker family and this place is amazing. Extremely fantastic staff and customer service, ā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļø, and great food. I got the Kentucky Club sandwich made by Ronin. He's so polite and knows his stuff. Tyler got our showers ready while we ate. These guys are awesome.

We usually stop at the competition across the street post Culver's visit on our cross state trips. However today we were running on fumes and I coasted in the first driveway off the highway. Never realized this is a 3-in-1 combo stop with Thornton, Pilot, and Steak-N-Shake. They have something for the whole family! Including icy freeze and ice cream. Bathrooms are large but could be updated. Turns out we had about a quarter of a gallon left. That's a record for me. Also my first $100 fill up, and on 87 octane... Lots of firsts today. Commemorative photo attached.

The store is great!! That's if you can get to it because the snow/ice removal company takes forever to show up. They need someone closer that can be there a lot faster. Thortons is always very busy. Hopefully they'll get a closer company that can keep the parking lots safe and accessible in a timely manner so nobody gets injured and they don't lose business over it.

I always stop at Thorntons when in lincoln. It's typically the lowest price for fuel in the area with plenty of open pumps available! If you do run inside, I highly recommend checking out some of their food.

A large truck stop with a Subway and Steak and Shake fast food. I was only in and out of there in a few minutes so I didn't look around, but they had just about everything a normal pilot or Flying J does. The Steak and Shake was GOOOD!!!

I was at this location on a bathroom break……….. To the lovely person that stole my Marilyn Monroe wallet, I’m a hard working woman that earned that money trying to sell my items as a vendor at a nearby event. If u knew what it takes to try to make an honest living u wouldn’t walk off with someone’s wallet. Hell, if I could’ve gotten the wallet back, I would’ve been fine with that. Hope that money took u far. My faith in humanity has been tarnished yet again.

Place is disgusting. Stop here a few times a month and it’s gotten worse. Bathrooms are absolutely nasty. If I could give half a star for cleanliness I would.

Advertise their cheapest gas, Unleaded Regular 88, to get you in but they don’t let you select it so you have to get Unleaded Regular 87. Also card reader didn’t work at mine and couldn’t get paper receipt at pump. Poorly ran.

Bathroom was very dirty and had a terrible odor. The shopping area was disorganized and pricing wasn’t clearly labeled.

Cashier is rude and likes to argue. Been there 3 times for gas; maybe I can get a cashier who is actually happy

One of the best truck stops out there. Can usually find parking here 24/7 and Steak n Shake inside is always open. Lots of other restaurants within walking distance. Can’t ask for anything more

Great experience! Friendly staff, clean showers,cheap laundry $1 to wash 75Ā¢ to dry. Truck parking never filled up. I don't think enough drivers know about the place. There is another place across the street that has truck parking also. Lots of restaurant options nearby too. Stake and Shake connected to Thornton's was very busy, but enjoyed the experience and food.Wendys across the parking lot, Taco Bell within walking distance. Cracker Barrel across the street. A few hotels close by if you don't want to ideal.

Clean, great and easy location off interstate. Friendly staff. Part of a steak n shake/ gas station combo. Has area for semi trucks and regular cars. Restrooms are large enough for plus size people (not having to use handicap stalls).

It was nice to find parking in the middle of the night.And the restrooms were shiny and clean and spotless when you needed one. No trucker miss.And it has kind of good food but vegetables and bananas were very good. It also has a restaurant, next door part of the building

Excellent stop! Love this place!Got the fresh coffee! And the steak burrito is amazing! For the price of 4.49 you get a burrito big enough to feed 2 people or 1 with a huge appetite.
