Place was clean. Staff was friendly. Plenty of selection for drinks and snacks. The soft serve ice cream was great. Bathrooms were okay. It’s a small truck stop, and doesn’t have all the amenities the big guys have, like a restaurant, but the place is great in a pinch.
Love this Thorntons. Plenty of room to maneuver a large vehicle. Best doughnuts and iced coffee. This is my regular Sunday stop on my way home.
Easy access on and off 55 .They serve some hot food if your looking for a quick bite to go. Fuel prices are not overly priced (considering our fuel prices these days) being a truck stop.
Came in at 1:00 am 5/9/21 for ice-cream. Wasnt sure if the machine was still on so I asked the gentleman working. He instantly was ready to help and walked over to check (it was really good too btw). He was extremely nice and professional. Being courteous and just an overall nice person goes a long way with me but unfortunately that seems harder to find these days. I wish every trip to the store was like this. Thank you guys for a great experience. Keep up the good work.
Great place with everything you need,and very friendly staff! Definitely come back here anytime I’m in the area!
Win big and often on slots here.
Its nice gas station
First time here, got a chorizo burrito and a southwest burrito, both of them had a hair in them, two different burritos two completed different hairs... wow thats an accomplishment!!
Gas pumps never work!
My daughter went to get us Mountain Dew fizz freezes and they tasted nasty. The machine has also been down for 4 days now.
I won’t stop here again. Dirty bath room. Nasty food and mean employees. The def pump didn’t work ether
Great Space to walk my truck pup. I absolutely love the soft serve ice cream. I walked in sad and walked out happy with ice cream 🍦.
None of the Def pumps work EVER.
Love the atmosphere this place has. Especially the staff member named Steven. He has an awesome attitude. Made my night
Great staff. Good for a quick stop. If your thinking of staying any length of time, get there early. The local trucks have petty much taken over the lot.
The new Reward Card for Professional Driver not good, dont apply for it
I stop here to get fuel and do a cash advance on my fuel card. Every time I ask its the same response sorry dont have enough cash . Now I have to go to pilot to get cash. From now on I will be getting my fuel there also. Good bye.
I visited Thornton’s today and I do regularly. The whole staff here is extra kind and always go above and beyond to help you as fast as they can. Steve especially today was extremely helpful quickly checking me out and asking about my day.
Nice friendly people and good coffee and food selection. Easy in and out
Great employees, grocery items and gas prices. Clean and neat oasis on the outskirts of Joliet. Recommended if youre traveling I-55 or I-80.
I like it here. Cheapest truck diesel in the area. usually in and out pretty quickly. Minus one star because they need someone on restroom duty. Cleaner bathrooms please
Pretty new gas station. The prices are reasonable but sometimes they overprice, you just have to watch. I reccomend downloading the app for additional gas and store benefits. The store like I said is newer and maintained well.
Currently closed on 11/22 for Covid outbreak at store . . .
Employees were nice on the phone and in person, also the bathroom was clean, better prices than the bigger name brand truck stores. Parking says 2hrs so Id just call before and let them know when you get there
You call and ask simple truck stop questions they act like they dont understand do you have showers cash comcheks etc its like your asking too much....sorry to bother you Im just a customer thats all . Updated 08/2019 since the last time I posted was the last time I was treated that way now I noticed attitudes are a lot better in there appreciated I do buy fuel from here its cheaper than most places
This is a brand new location and its amazing! I am originally from Central Illinois and moved to Michigan, and there is no Thorntons stations near by, though we travel home on a regular basis, and this has now become our new go to stop. Clean, friendly, large selection...and 3 cents off a gallon when you sign up for rewards!
This use to be my favorite gas station due to the fantastic food and drink selection! My boyfriend and I would go out of our way to stop here and get a buffalo chicken burrito, hot dog, and/or one of the many roller grill options. Sadly, they cut WAY back on the food options and stopped serving burritos after 11am. They also got rid of some of our favorite burritos and sandwiches completely. We stopped going here as much. The staff is pretty nice and everything is usually clean.
Great thorntons. Plenty of truck parking and great staff very clean and well organized everyone is very freindly.
Good place good food. Nice and clean. Friendly people. Only problem is that local cops only allow you to park 2 hours so no overnight without a 250 dollar ticket
Update, it seems odd that only the Thortons is subject to a 2 hour limit parking ban enforced by the police. The Pilot, Speed Way and soon Loves in the same town, dont seem to have this law. One was built before and 2 were/are being built after the Thorntons.
Dont gamble here this is a ripoff
We generally have a great experience each visit. Good prices on things generally however...... We had our own cups and just got WATER... We were charged for it!!! We were not given a receipt as well .... The person who waited on us was a but cranky. Weve never had a crusty coot here before. The bathrooms were in a bit of a mess and gum was still on the floor from yesterday evening. Looked like blood on the handrails too.
Nice friendly helpful employees during my visit. Cheapest Fuel in the area. Nice clean place. I will remember them and go back.
The store was very clean wash room clean, the problem I had was I purchased a pack of cough drops the cashier tried to charge me $3.00 when they were only $1.50 if I had not spoke up I wouldve gotten charge more 🤔
Very small parking. Clean inside. Buffalo chicken burritos good.No microwave
Love me some Thorntons tea. Great gas station
Fuel was cheap here. Nice clean newer place. Many options for food. The only bad think was a 2 hr limit parking for trucks. No overnight. Other than that, no complains.
Got two Cold Sodas for the deal druck one my Supper went back in with my own cup to get some more Ice and was charged $0.55 for ice only not a Good deal if Im have my own Cup I could see five cent have own but this kills it No More Business Thornton the Loves Pilot or Ta truckstops dont do it So why I tell you to make money off the Drivers
Clean and friendly. Decent food choices. Avg truck stop prices.
Very accommodating locations for both drivers and truckers. Lots of hot food to pick from.
Coffee set here is right! Caffeine shots, lots of different flavors & roasts, marshmallows for your hot cocoa. They got it all.
Great food for a gas station. Great prices for someone who needs a quick cheap meal. Friendly staff and clean restrooms.
Its a nice place. Alot of snacks to choose from. The employees are friendly and helpful.
Very good and very clean location. Highly recommend it.
Its a truck stop with a catch. 2 hour parking for semi trucks. No smoking on property. Restrooms were dirty, and there were no paper towels. They dont serve sandwiches after 11 am. If you are looking for food and a place to sleep, this isnt it. This stop is for fueling only.
Good, clean place. Staff is friendly and the breakfast food is pretty good.
Love this truck stop one of my favorites the Women there Are awesome!
Everything is good except they charge u for a plastic bag to carry ur purchases
Very fast service.
Clean friendly place. Love their condiment table so many choices for my hotdogs
The store is very nice and updated, but it seems there are not enough people behind the register causing long lines and wait time especially in the morning before work. Truckers oftentimes take forever to do what ever they do in line. There is a designated register, but with one person on duty it does no good.
Another typical gimme your money and get out gas station with diesel pumps for trucks.2hr parking for trucks, enforced by local police.This is in no way a truck stop.Has parking for about 40 trucks, but you cant take your break here.-how do you build a place and let the local police dictate how its run?
Tasty treats at the hot food bar. Clean place overall and a decent place to overnight....if you can get a space.
Clean fuel islands fresh food generally bathrooms are clean not a bad place to stop to fuel up or grab a quick snack
Very nice truck stop. Clean, good food, friendly people.
Huge gas station. Clean bathrooms and decent pricing on snacks
*** 2 HR PARKING ***. Cops handing out $250 tickets there. Highly recommend the NO TIME LIMIT Pilot Truck Stop across the bridge or go South on I-55 for 9.5 miles to the NO TIME LIMIT Petro Truck Stop (Exit# 240) . The Pilot only has 25 parking spots and the New Petro has 200 parking spots. Either way, Those places wont ruin your day.
New station and the pumps suck half of the time the card reader at the the pump doesnt recognize your card. Or the pump handle is bad . Location is just ok prices are high for not a name brand. Theres better deals on York n Grand.
2 hour truck parking. $275 fine. Was out of hours and tired. Cant believe I spent money inside. They dont want people around, just your money.
Lots of parking. Easy to get to from I -55. My favorite Thorntons.
Great gas prices especially if you have the rewards card, good roller food and pizza too, coldest drinks around.
Great set up, very clean and modern. Hot dog, sausage compartment is very impressive with all the fixings to make your own vienna beef style hot dog. Very great Chicagoland experience.
I love this place......always clean.... ice cream.....slush.....hotdogs....etc....and a few slot machines that I win on all the time
Great gas prices compared to nearby, and the breakfast burritos are legitimately delicious.
I’m shocked to hear that someone had a poor experience with Lacey!! She is friendly, efficient and professional every time in Thornton’s, she is a very valued employee to me and a long time customer, thank you Lacey!!
Good spot. Love The coffee.
Convenient and friendly staff. Its our standard road trip pit stop.
Clean bathrooms, good prices, quick snacks and friendly service.
Great prices for gas and other products.
Tasty fuel says my vehicle. Thornton is a great place for fuel, a quick snack or a cup of coffee.
Very clean place I like it
Customer service is great nice crisp and clean presented well gas station
Nice place to gas up and get a snack
On November 18th i had difficulty with my debit card insertion, was not smooth, had a hard time going in. Had to repeat several times in order for it to work. Now on Sunday my debit card has been hacked and Thorntons is the last place I used it. Please go in town for gas and stay away from off the highway places, I know they are convenient and less expensive, but it is not worth the distress that I am going thru to cancel everything and hopefully get my money back. I tried calling there twice this AM and was on hold way too long, so here I am writing this review/buyer beware.
Its exactly what you would expect from a gas station by a major highway. Lower rateing for never having any dark roast coffee when I go in.
It is one of the nicest Thorntons Ive ever been to.
2 hrs parking limit would leave you wanting. Aside from this, good diesel and nice folks.
Wonderful deli and coffee selection, very clean and employees quite friendly.
Its easy to fuel up and I love the rewards program
Clean, prices are great compared to other truck stops, great food and coffe. Wish all truck stops are like this one
Great variety, fast & friendly service every time Ive been here
Good place to stop for fuel.
Usually busy but there are many pumps so it is easy to quickly get gas.
Nice place with plenty of food but only 2 hour parking
Every time I go here the employees are so rude. I ask a question and they look at me and then turn around and walk away, when Im at the register they have such a nasty attitude. I dont get it.
The 2hr trucker parking has to be enforced by Thorntons because the Channahon PD/Village of Channahon have an ordinance against long term parking. If Thorntons had there way truckers would have 24hr parking without an issue. So if you truckers dont like it then complain to Channahon. This Thorntons is nice and clean. One of the better truck stops Ive been to.
Love there 🍌 but muffin
Probably the first time O was happy to eat a burrito from a gas station.
Great clean fueling station will a large variety of snacks.
Thanks Felicia, for making pretzels special attention everyone best pretzels in Chicagoland between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. get your pretzels at Thorntons Channahon
Nice new gas station and small truck stop with a scale.
NIght shift marry is not friendly ..dont ask her a any question she get mad
Very friendly staff and helpful..
Great workers and their burritos are delicious
