Love’s

All the pumps were full and so was the inside if the store. Quite impressive that they keep it as clean as they do with the amount of traffic in and out of there. The McDonald’s attached is another story all together. Rude and disinterested service.

Busy place! The evening before Thanksgiving so this place was hoppin’ with travelers. The staff inside was friendly and greeted us as we were in the store. Also got a hamburger at the attached McDonalds, it was good. Recommended stop.

This place was super busy. As for how busy it was, it was well kept and the bathrooms very clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. This loves has an attached McDonalds, which we grabbed a quick to go bag and hit the road. The food was fast and fresh. All in all, very pleasant stop.

I really like the fact that thy are all over this side of Illinois. Although they don’t have them in Chicago, this is fun. The gas was competitive as far as prices are concerned. And I did appreciate the fact that they had these hot sausage links (in a wrapper) that wow I love! So hard to find but well worth it. Of course if you have high blood pressure you may have to just stay away. Salty as the dickens!
It was kind of late when we came here and the staff was very nice. Even let us (well my friend) fill up her cup with ice and she told them she just wanted ice. They didn’t mind in the least, so this was a good thing.
The variety of snacks here is really intense. You sincerely have isles and isles of «stuff» so make yourself a list before coming here.
What I found entertaining about LOVES is that they have restrooms and showers. Ummm maybe entertaining is not the word I should use. I guess they have tons of truck drivers that come through so this seems to be a plus for them to roll in and just take care of their needs and continue on their way. Still, its a really good incentive to come through just for that, especially if its going to be a long trip. Not sure if I would use this option but hey, someone can have it if they choose to shower.

Well here we are again. All fuel islands were busy all night long. The wifi was a problem. Paided $ 4.99 for 24 hours That I was not able to use. Took over a minute to turn a page. McDonalds durning the dinner a bit slow, but ok Had breakfast was ok. DOES NOT HAVE A SUBWAY…

Not sure I’d agree with the other reviewer when they say Love’s has the «best» gas, although it is competitive in pricing. This is one of those road oasis’s you could skip walking into, only because there is so much stuff in here you may like to buy, but definitely don’t need. Like I didn’t need a cowboy straw hat for $ 5.99, but I’ll take it! 2 for a dollar candy sales and Garmin GPS’s for as low as $ 140. Not bad. Fun stop to recharge your batteries before getting back on the road. So many unnecessary gifts you just can’t pass up.

Love’s usually has the best gas prices in Southern Illinois. It’s located right off the Ina exit on Interstate 57 just down the road from Rend Lake College. It’s a truck stop, and there are usually a lot of people there, but the wait for fuel isn’t usually long, if at all. There’s a McDonald’s attached to the service station for hungry travelers. Inside the service shop, they have everything someone traveling could need. If you come to the area, stop here to get gas at a small discount.
