This doesn't look like your average gas station from the outside-- or what it offers inside. There is plenty of parking and this spot really is pretty popular, with many folks local and not perusing. Bathroom were clean and the staff was friendly, but not super helpful. What I was most impressed by was the massive gift section. There were Hawkeye/Cyclone items, decor, wine and much more. Had I spent more time there, I am sure I would have walked out with a birthday present for my mother in-law or mom! Additionally, there is an Arbys (with a drive thru) and Godfathers housed here. Plus a robust amount of prepared food in the gas station itself. This is a gem!

Since these have been popping up more and more over IA, I thought I better get in a review…read more Today's visit was purely based on needing something to eat. Around this location are two other convenient store gas stations. This one won out due to it being a later lunch time and sorry to say the other locations have been letting us down. Apparently hubby has had a few stops for lunch in Kwik Star. He gave me the walk through of all their options. They have a really large selection of premade salads and cold options and then a really nice selection of hot meals as well. Everything was clean and well lit. Lots of options out on display. For $9.99 we got an 8 pieces chicken tenders. Got a couple fountain drinks which consisted of black berry lemonade and an Arnold Palmer. Took our selection back out to the vehicle, We picked up a couple different sauces, but only ended up using one. Got my little fingers on a chicken tender and my jaw dropped. This one piece I picked up was no joke. She thick! As my husband devoured a couple of these monsters, I filled up on ONE! We enjoyed what we had and brought the rest home. I will not have a problem stopping at this chain in the future to try other things they have.

Almost all Kwik Star (and Kwik Trip if you're in Wisconsin or Minnesota) stores are laid out with a…read moresimilar floor plan, there are a few different floor plans depending on the footprint of the store and when it was built. Some are mirror images of one another, which I refer to as left hand stores and right hand stores, depending on which way you turn to approach the cash registers. This is a right hand store. When you go into the store, you'll get that feeling of Deja vu, which is exactly what the owners want you to feel. This store is newer so it uses the newer floor plan. It's left handed. Karuba Coffee, Dunkers, doughnuts, and hot foods are straight back. Rest rooms are on the far end, take a left at the cooler. Lottery forms are back there, too, for processing at the registers. The no-fee ATMs are to your left as you enter the store. Out on the gas island, you'll find Unleaded, Unleaded Premium, E-85, Unleaded 88, and Diesel #2. The store is 24/7. If you happen to drive an 18-wheeler, there is a separate truck fueling station. It's easy in and easy out with no silly roundabouts to come through. You'll find Diesel #2, Premium Diesel, and Diesel Exhaust Fluid. This is a nearly complete auto and truck plaza, there's no car wash but that's about all that's missing. It's a complete convenience store with sandwiches, coffee and soft drinks and almost anything you could need in the coolers, freezers and food gondolas. Like all Kwik Trips, the bakery all comes from La Crosse and it's pretty good. It's everything you've come to expect in a Kwik Trip and a whole lot more.

So as a gas station, this place does what its supposed to, including getting in and out efficiently. One thing the Kwik Star chains have going for them is an impressive array of road snacks, including sweet rolls/donuts that would match a stand alone shop. I also appreciated the clean restrooms and a decent cup of coffee for the road.

You have a woman there, short blonde hair with glasses whose life work it seems is to make sure these are rung up properly. Tonight she was cleaning up in the area by the nitro, as I filled my mug she watched me, never said hi or acknowledged I was there. I asked her if I was in her way for the garbage can or sink In the corner and she never responded. She watched me go from the dispenser to the register, watching me like I was a thief, calling the cashier on her radio to make sure it was rung up as a nitro, which it was. I made a comment to the cashier about it and left before I made a scene.
