The staff was very friendly. Not your typical truck stop/ gas station. From a truckers point of view decent parking and fuel islands. They have showers (free with a 65 gallon fill up, $17 w/o fuel) they have a laundry room for drivers also. Great lounge areas. Would definitely recommend stopping here. A nice little hidden treasure

Super nice gas station/restaurant stop. The inside is a very nice modern farmhouse feel with all you can find in a regular gas station PLUS a coffee shop (with great coffee) and a snack counter where you can order fresher food. Bathrooms were nice and there’s even a nice area to sit and lounge with your coffee

Nice little truck stop, and they use the mud flap fuel app. Someone put a lot of thought and time into designing this place and I think they did very well. It certainly has a different spin and twist to it than a regular gas station/truck stop. It has more nearly the feel of an overpriced tourist trap although prices are mostly reasonable and it has a certain amount of small town charm to it as well. It's absurdly clean, almost sterile. 👏 And they have a good food selection, the oats / granola cups are about the best thing I've ever tasted😋. The only complaint I have is that the path to the front desk to make your fuel payment is somewhat undefined and cluttered.

This travel stop has everything you could ask for. Ample parking for cars and trucks. Large variety of snacks and drinks and even an included coffee shop (opens at 8AM). Restrooms are some of the cleanest you'll ever come across. Staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend. 100% approve.

Never thought I'd be rating a highway rest stop with 5 stars, but here we are. Whoever put this here is an engineering and marketing genius. Nothing for hundreds of miles but this functions like a restaurant, coffee shop, boutique, and rest area. The restrooms were clean, it had plenty of food and seating options, and I'm still baffled by how fancy and well-designed this was. Would give more stars if I could; I'm still not convinced this place wasn't some kind of fever dream.

Quite possibly the best gas station/rest stop in all of US-20 in Iowa! I'm being 100% serious.🚽the bathrooms are modern, spacious, and clean🥪Find all the regular gas station food including rotating hotdogs AND freshly made hot food such as sandwiches and Mac and cheese. There's more though: fresh bakery items and an extended selection of beverages. a quiet section to dine, which they keep we extremely clean and🔥a comfortable sitting arewell decorateda with a fireplace🛍️You could pick up a last minute trinket or gift for someone (or yourself!)⛽ Oh, and they have gasWe travel across Iowa several times a year and couldn't be more thrilled to have this option right in the middle of our 5 hour drive. Before this place was built, the options were slim and run down. It's also spacious enough that our kids can move around a bit without disturbing others which is a random bonus

Stopped here recently on a couple trips to visit family in the Fort Dodge area. The bathrooms are super clean! The little shop inside is so cute - lots of great gifts. Today I grabbed a lavender honey latte from their coffee shop and it was so good ❤️

This is the most amazing "gas station" I have ever been in. The restrooms are very high end, like you would find in a fancy hotel. The gas pump area has no litter laying around. They have an extra nice fenced in pet area with a water pump & a large bowl to give your dog fresh water. The inside smells great & had so many varieties of things to eat, it was hard to choose! They even had fresh cheesecakes too! WOW is all I can say! If you need to take a longer break from the road, this is the place 😁 They even have a boutique upstairs! If I could, I would have given it 10 stars!

"Truck stop" does not cut it! Once you go, you'll wish every gas stop was this engaging: the great atmosphere reflects the warm woods and open architecture, a clothing and home decor boutique with reasonable prices, and a homemade bakery with cheesecake! Plan time to shop. Best of all... Marker 126 was designed by a farming couple on their own acres. Homegrown. Local. Meet their daughter at the cash register. Cheers to this enterprising family!

Absolutely the best gas station my boyfriend and I have ever stopped at. Very clean and elegant. Everyone was very friendly and the food was excellent. Ladies make sure to check out their boutique and home decor section it is fantastic.

Beautiful Store. Food here was delicious. I really enjoyed the Coffee Shop atmosphere. Store was very clean. Staff was very friendly. Wait time for hot food was about 4 mins. This is a Travel Stop must for Roadies and Truckers. Great Job 5 🌟.

First time here. Food was pretty good, SB style coffee was really good. Customer service was excellent. Sinclair fuel, limited parking, didn't see the showers or laundry but was told they have them. It's not really a full blown "truck stop" but it does have limited services. The store is nice, more than just a convenience store. It's really new and clean. Not 24hrs. I would say it's a great place to take a break and grab a bite. I liked it.

Only thing I miss about my old job is stopping at Marker 126 for a fill up and a visit inside. I'm always amazed at the cleanliness and all the cute items in the boutique as well as all the yummy food options. Always worth a stop when driving by.

Nicest truck stop I've been too. Coffee sandwiches and pizza made to order. Sign said they have showers but I didn't see where they were. Need more like this. Plenty of truck parking for the area

Brand new. Very modern truck stop. Wide parking spaces. Very easy to get into. There is a small restaurant inside and a coffee shop. No showers here. Maybe in the future? I talked to owner who is a very nice guy. I will definitely be back.

Great place to not only get fuel for your car or truck, but great choice for food also! Prices are very reasonable. Parking for trucks and cars is very large, should always be a spot to park. Truckers will have showers in the near future. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Restrooms are very clean and spacious. Posted a pic here of my brisket sandwich and chicken noodle soup. This place is locally owned by a retired farmer, so please support this local American business!

Setting a new standard for gas stations. I was wowed! Being from Chicago it's so hard to find good coffee on the go. I was so pleased to finally get a good coffee on my trip between MN and IL. I favorited this location in my Google maps so that I can stop every time I'm headed to my hometown for a visit. They have great coffee, and my barista was fast. The pre bottled lattes from the coffee shop are also great! The bathrooms are so clean and nice. They also have plentiful nice seating and shopping if you want to take a longer break on your drive.

This is absolutely one of the best truck stops i have been to. Definately on the top 5. I would rate this number 2 on the list right below Gore's travel plaza in seiling, ok. Only because they have a drive through sonic for semi's.

I’ve driven across the country 9x and this is one of the best rest stops I’ve been to. They have pretty much everything aside from showers. There’s a coffee shop and cafe inside and a nice lounge area. Also clean bathrooms.
