Im not giving you one star because Im not a hater, just want to point out whats wrong, when I buy one salad, I dont need to 2 free Flys.Please see pictures.

Fruit fly’s all around the coffee area you can tell the drains haven’t been cleaned in ages and that’s why there’s fruit fly’s. Drinks weren’t stocked.

They need to call China and have him come fix these card readers.. they need to call China and have them fix The regulators on their pumps.. 100th of a percentage for def. Before it shuts off. 15 minute fuel job and I didnt even fill up all the way... Could have been worse I could have went to the TA and ate Greece and sugar. Hopefully after the new government takes over this land things to get better for the people.. we need to call OSHA have the roads in America condemned in most of these fuel stops absolute health hazard

Every Pilot Flying J with a lot of parking space and shower for us, Hot Shot Nomads is my favourite ))) Even in our challenging times, personal of this station lovely, cheerful and helpful💐Live and let live, mates! ATB🙏🏻🍀❤️

Game room not open due to bad seed bringing someone overage inside, so no gambling just scratchers and lotto. Denny’s isn’t open either, only Pilot /Flying J food available. No liquor sales either. Website not updated to show this information.

I wish they would open up the Iron Skillet. Went to Fuel Island for dinner and it was out standing. The people over there have everything nice and stocked and everything is so clean. Turn out its was great. Thanks guys dinner was so good.

DOT has rules and I have to plan where I stop so I go off truckstop websites and choose truckstops with sit down restaurants. No driver needs roller dogs and fast food for every meal nor should we eat every meal in the truck on the go. And no food after 8 pm except roller dog is wrong. Trucks run 24 hours we need more than roller dogs 24 hours a day.

Great place in the land of the FREE. Happy people working here. In spite of not having a restaurant the people that work here makes it one of the BEST flying J in the USA. I am a truck driver I’ve been to many of them, they have hot food, showers and a lot of parking. Panda Express walking distance if you want. Thank you for this GREAT truck stop!!!

Wow no restaurant, and now more reserved parking. Next Im sure theyll build a shop to take more parking, at least the loves ads more parking instead of taking parking. As far as wearing a mask, good for you people who dont want to live in fear. One year of this is bs. You cry babies stay home if your immune system dont work.

Good size parking lot and showers are very clean!!!

FILTHY on the inside of the building. LACK of a restaurant due to boxes and dust. BAD reviews of COVID infestation. Avoid Fountain drinks and Cups due to dust. I dont think this place is suitable for anyones health whether vaccinated or Not.

One of the best flying j very clean Thank you guys shower employees are the best very hardworking people I ll always stop here

Avoid this, POSSIBLY, Covid infested travel center. The signs at the door clearly say, MASKS REQUIRED. You wont know how your body will react to the virus. You may be asymptomatic and never know you have it, it make just feel like you only have the flu, but it could also be deadly. Its just not worth the risk. I will NOT enter nor support these premises. 😡

Would be better if drivers stop pissing outside there truck. Because the smell will knock you down in this first day of Summer. But the Pilot was clean and the workers are friendly.

Excellent customer serviceFresh hot coffee and delicious foodClean restrooms and clean hot showersThanks

The shower was one of the best Ive been in very clean And well maintained The only thing I have to say Bad is one of my towels smelled like bo it was warm so it was fresh out of the dryer other than that awesome showers awesome water pressure I use the handicapped and it had lots of Room

We have stopped here many times in our RV and/or car. The RV parking in the front is easy in and out and is not full of bob tail trucks as many of the Flying Js are in recent years. This Flying J has a Dennys and it is fine.

Why was Dennys removed? Oh, covid is NOT an answer, just an excuse....

We made a straight drive from Arizona to Pennsylvania in 2.5 days. We stopped at a Flying J almost Everytime. Just got comfortable with them and they were consistent with the store selection. Clean restrooms. Well lit parking lot when dark, and friendly staff.

Manager very rude!!! Products not in right place and when informed her she blew me off and kicked me out the store!!!

Nice place, big parking lot, CAT scale, showers, hot food. Pot roast is good! Dennys inside too. Cashier on 04/08/20 10:15 a.m. was nice too.

Good service. Manager going out the door helped get people out of line. Bathrooms messy carmel out at coffee station. A lot of traffic because of bridge construction

I came into this facility Friday night at 10 PM manager on duty not wearing a mask cashier behind the counter had her mask hanging down to her chin lady preparing the food and bringing it out no mask preparing food no mask I guess that’s reason why I don’t eat out of a hot box I guess that’s a reason why I buy all my food and supplies and fuel at the loves if I wasn’t doing Hey Repower I wouldn’t be here

Nice people and has an awesome Dennys diner too.

Stopped there to get our one good hot meal per day. Dennys was closed much to our disappointment. No wonder our truckers are in poor health. Having to eat the slop thats available at the fuel desk. The girl behind the fuel counter that waited on us seem to be angry that we had gotten food.

Stopped for gas on my way from florida to Wisconsin to see my 77 year old mom who is dyin from covid in the hospital and lost my wallet I’m sure I’m the bathroom around 10 pm last night. Call and the woman who answered wouldn’t even take my number to call me if anyone found it. I will never get gas at any flying J’s again. Couldn’t even take my number and was rude as hell. Bathroom staff probably stole found it and kept it. Can’t believe how rude they were on the phone. Hope it happens to you when you are far from home.

We love Flying J. We are so appreciative of having a good place to sleep. The showers are very clean and nice. The only issue we have is the announcements through the night, IT IS SO LOUD. The music outside is really loud too. Please, if possible, can the volume be lowered at night? Thank you so much for all that you guys do.

Very clean but Dennys still shut down.

Was here two minutes before an attendant was asking me to open my door/ask if I was fueling. The app isnt letting me fuel and theres no lines (midnight), yall need to relax a bit.

Watch out for the big pothole at the entrance especially during rain

I was at pump 23 trying fuel my truck. around 22:00 yesterday .I had most problem getting any help with this fuel.young cashier Name Asher .told me things try but they did help the situation. Went back in to get help.The manager real just blew off like its not my problem.Asher came out to help me. when none other cashier and manager didnt wanted help it was very cold that night.i worry about her she out there with a jacket.trying assist me my issue with the pumps. Manager shot meaningless thing that didnt make good sense. This is issue Im paying at the could close down that pump or at least put sign so, no other truck go the time consuming fueling frustration I just went through. Big thanks to Asher I appreciate you 5 start goes straight her.

Staff was very rude and did not want to help

I drove my bobtail to get fuel and a shower. I parked near the row of multiple empty reserved spaces. When I exited the shower a PA announcement was asking for driver of tractor 6799 to move. I went to the counter stating that I ran in quickly to shower up and grab some food. Two of the cashiers in unison said to move now.No etiquette nor customer service skills. Please do something about how people feel that they can speak nasty to whom ever they choose . its not what you say its how you say it. Poor manners and disrespectful.

This review is for Dennys. Had the best Dennys experience. Our waiter was Nathan and he was amazing. He never had wrote anything down and the only thing he got wrong is not putting whipped cream on my sundae but I honestly did not mind at all. The service and friendliness was too great to care about one thing. Food was so fresh and delicious and was ready so fast. If we ever have to stop at the truck stop again we will be eating here again and hopefully get great service again.

Very clean and nice facilities, but they play extremely loud music in their parking lot 24/7 that can clearly be heard through a car. If you plan on staying overnight here on a road trip, you will likely have problems sleeping at all over this music.

This place was awesome! They really take care of their customer.Thanks Pilot!

Mostly no one Here for propane fill up, this is my 3rd time

Nice friendly place convenient location

Ive been all over this country in the past two weeks. In the heart of the lock down. Ive been disappointed many times over with the lack of cleanliness at most truck stops. This place is phenomenal! Every staff member is doing something to keep this place virus free. As well as greet everyone who walks through the door, with a smile. Im blown away by the way this particular stop is run. Thank you flying J

Every time I come here showers are available neat and clean staff is friendly and helpful, A lady named Carmen is very very helpful and keep smile on her Doesn’t matter how busy the store is Carmen always wanted to help everyone there.I recommend everyone to visit there atleast once if you are going on I-70 in effingham,IL.

I usually never leave negative reviews and feel bad about doing this. The parking lot was filthy. I was inside and employee kept offering me a shower I asked why and was told i looked dirty. The showers here cost $12.00. While trying to rest outside in the parking lot as you do at a rest stop there is an announcement every 3 minutes about the showers they have and another announcement that keeps saying attention all professional drivers these are on a nom stop loop. Avoid this rest Stop unless you are there for food or gas. Also we had people wallimg around our vehicles all night looking into them and touching them.

So many LOUD announcements all night long, I had to start parking at TA across the street. Dude at 2am, no one cares there are showers available. There are no long lines at the fuel pump from people not pulling up, and telling employees to check the bathrooms can be best done in person. SHUT UP!!

Terrible old and over priced food

Ok....I understand there is a PANDEMIC but COME ON......have somewhere to sit ....ALL THE CHAIRS ARE GONE......I GUESS YOU PUT YOURE LAUNDRY IN THE MACHINE AND GO SIT ON THE COLD SIDEWALK OUTSIDE.........NO RESPECT🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I soon as I get here to reserve and buy 3 antifreeze I can’t even take a piss without associate knocking and asking if I paid for this place. 1231 12/5/20. If flying j associates at this facility are going to present themselves this way then I will not stop here again. If stickly behavior is the norm then start fixing everything that’s broken and this facility. Still biting my DI tongue.

Clean store. They have about everything you want or need. Fast checkout.

Creepy women with glasses work at this fly just is so mean so rude to truck driver she need gone

1/2 staff not wearing a mask, customers fully serviced without one (including the gentleman hacking up a lung the entire time). Checkout area was freshly sanitized, at least. See yall again after The Crisis

This place was very clean and the people were very nice. If you like Godfathers Pizza, they have it at this stop. I had some and it was pretty good 👍

No reason to stop here anymore.dennys is closed up.cant sit down while you wait for shower.cant sit down while doin laundry.completely worthless place to stop for any amenity for a driver.

This is good stop a lot of restaurants and places to eat within walking distance. The store is pretty clean and the staff is friendly.I also like that they have a good size parking lot and lot of showers.

One restroom is closed! and second one beside restaurant out of toilet paper so make sure to bring your own 😁 😂

I am amazed, one of three people behind the counter having food to serve with retail and fuel desk duty are wearing a mask. One not wearing a mask at all and the shift supervisor was first not wearing her mask and then when asked about masks, she improperly put her mask on and below her nose are we serious or delirious about this covid-19 thing?

The entire place is always very clean, including the restrooms. The Attendants are always very friendly, helpful & ready to serve. I have NEVER seen an attendant with a cell phone, or talking to another & making the customer wait until they finish their conversation. I only mention these things because it is so VERY common in MANY/most places nowadays. Overall my favorite & only place to stop when going back & forth to visit Daughter & her family in St Louis.

I use Flying J truck stop as a transfer place for my son. We can always get gas, a snack, use the restroom, shop for trinkets or even sit down for a nice meal. Dannys restaurant is connected to Flying J Truck stop. I have been making this connection for over 20 years. My son is grown now but I still use this as a transfer place for my grandkids or my sister. There is great parking. They have a selection of several coffees, which always makes me happy. I find fresh fruit, pizza and a many other wonderful things to just to just grab and go. The store is wheel chair acceptable. The store, restroom and restaurant have wide range to easily maneuver in a chair. I find Flying J always clean and the people pleasant. The perfect place to stop for all your travel needs.

Lots of parking.

Hospitality out of the world very kind people bathrooms are clean

Literally the cleanest showers and toilets Ive witnessed my entire year of driving!!!!

You get 155 gallon fuel and you don’t even get a shower and manager is so rude

Nice place clean restrooms, in and out quick!

NO COMPLAINTS HERE!! PLACE WAS VERY CLEAN, THEY HAD ALL THE REGULAR DRINK CHOICES, HOT/COLD BAR WAS WELL STOCKED. THE STAFF WERE FRIENDLY & HAPPY TO MEET ALL MY DEMANDS WITH A SMILE & THANK YOU. WELL DONE FLYING J, EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS.

Have not been there yet but, planning to stop there next week. Sure hope all the reviews are accurate. Will comment next week. Have a good day yall !!!

Nice truck stop. Awesome management. Hottest shower !! It was great !! All services up and running. Friendly staff. Snow removal great! Pumps clean and easy to access. DEF was working. Mobile fueling works. Comcheck services fast and easy. Green Dot refill up and running. Food fresh and hot. Plenty of inventory. One of best visits on the interstate and 5 stars... Highly recommend stopping here. One of best experiences Ive had at Flying J in 14 years on the road.

After proving to the manager that I was parked correctly she flipped me off!

This is one of my favorite places to stop. The staff is always nice and helpful. Theres always plenty of parking that is free to truck drivers. They offer different things in the store like CB radios hits it and also accept refunds or give refunds for things that you bought in another Flying J with no problem or hassle. I love this place and keep up the great work

We stop there to eat at Denys, was great food, service, and price. Then went into Flying Js and bought T-Shirt. They have everything and food too...Very nice experience

I stop here almost every time driving through Illinois. Shower pressure is amazing and temp is super hot! Parking is decent. I cant complain about the provided 10 trash cans for us truckers!

There is an enormous amount of shopping in the area. Truckers bar across the street in back of TA, Walmart across the street, steak and shake, Popeyes, hair cuts across from Walmart, Dollar tree. So much to even list a must stop location if you need pretty much everything. Oh yeah high price lot lizards up in the Hampton inn. So yeah everything YOU. Did I mention Dennys breakfast was decent nothing to get on the CB about.

Wow.. 11:13pm don’t try to come here. Parking is over full. Trucks everywhere. If you come in you won’t be able to get out!!

Clean bathrooms, nice staff, food is a step up from the norm. Glad to make it a regular stop

I buy a lot of stuff at pilot and flying j travel centers. typically i know what Im looking for each time I go into one of these operations. I love clean restrooms and clean showers because those are the amenities I value the most being an over-the-road truck driver. Secondly, I expect the staff to be friendly and I expect myself to be friendly to them. I definitely will continue doing business at flying j and pilots.

There is no reason to dont have fresh coffee,milk and french vanilla,even if they are busy like they said.I just visit your location and young lady show her nice teeth and pretty smile and of course her other side of personality.Very nice that she bring something from home to show how not to be..Thank you girl,you just show me and other people in the store in that moment what I dont want to be.She just said I hope you gonna have great night.And I was surprised,manager said me the same.Both of them probably need to take vacation,or maybe some extra classes to learn how and what is important in job they both do.I dont really understand,how is possible that fly j & pilot can hire people like that?And the store manager make very big mistake about decision which person to hire which not.You need people on register in your store who have honest smile and understanding for customer with question.If is that hard for you,to make good decision about hiring????

Stop to get gas and find the grandkids a souvenir and found the stop being stupid stick

I have been to a lot of Flying Js this is one is a nice place. I havent had a problem there. Its clean. Typical large truck parking lot. Bathroom was ok, they came and touched it up, great. Havent had machine malfunctions, like no ice, no soda, coffee machines down; that I know of. The staff are friendly and dont harass the trucks in the parking lot. BUT the Dennys in the best. The staff have always been nice to meet. I take a long time to settle down and order but they are always patient and friendly. The big guy that does the cooking is great. If you ask hell make it happen with a smile. So,yeah its a pretty nice place.

Flying j has been an integral part of my business life, traveling coast to coast providing the necessary resources and commitment of a full service truck stop. Many times I have had the opportunity to eat and sleep at many of their locations and with every experience the experience only gets better. I have seen this establishment continuously remodeled and always upgrading their locations to be able to provide not only exceptional service but comfort,and food to their customers, I been one of them. I am glad and forever grateful for the dedication and sacrifice of many people who are constantly working to make my experience and many other travelers experience second to none. I have met many great people over the years at these trucks stops and I will never regret it. Flying j and pilot truck stop stores has become the largest operator of truck stops in America and Im glad that they have made the sacrifice to provide not just the travel services that they provide which can be mind boggling if youre not familiar with these things. Many of these truck stop/ travel centers also offer a safe haven for many different types of vehicles and trucks and besides all the great and amazing services that they provide now many of them are becoming more technically viable for vehicle service lets face it times have changed and mechanic shops are much harder to find nowadays than it was in the past. All these locations will treat you with dignity respect and above all like your family of course its expected that in a professional environment at the very least a basic level of care and reservation is expected from every one, but generally its always pleasant. Expect the best coffee money can buy. The food is cooked by professional chefs, bring your appetite. I also appreciate that they offer a t.v. room, and other accommodations to make the experience that much better. They offer laundry services and including in some locations pet services. I mean its a experience that is certainly essential to travelers and the transportation industry. Most of these locations have separate parking lots as well as gasoline and diesel for larger vehicles. For a long time I have had the pleasure of traveling every where In the USA. I continue to travel coast to coast on business and with the services and amenities including merchandise that many of these travel centers offer, my experience on us highways has been greatly improved and have factored into perspective a cost effective and efficient way for I and many other people who frequently support and spend so much of our time in these travel centers. It can get pretty expensive traveling for a living so whenever we can save money by form of inexpensive services and or vehicle parts at a reasonable price consistantly it certainly helps to minimize the impact on traveling for a living. I thank God that there are good people out there because its a sacrifice to run these travel centers and try to make all the different people that come to these travel centers comfortable and satisfied with their locations and service, I thank them and the owners of these establishments for making that sacrifice and commitment to provide their services to everyone regardless of whom you are, rest assured that there are people who appreciate everything that you do and care for. Thank you God bless you and yours for making that sacrifice.

My husband and I travel for our jobs. We shower at Flying Js all over the country. I usually leave complaining about the condition of the shower room because I think it hasnt been cleaned very well. The Flying J in Effingham surprised me this morning because it was so nice and clean in the shower room!

Giant parking lots are always appreciated, but small entrances arent. Its walking distance from a lot of restaurants if you dont mind a little excercise. The water in the showers was so soft, but the pressure wasnt. We were beat, so we just got hot bar. The wings were super dry, but they were a buck. All around, not a bad place.

Staff was very nice and efficient. There were a ton of people in line when I went in and they worked hard to ensure everyone was taken care of in a timely manner. The place was clean and products were stocked and looking nice.

Large clean great people working here and lots of choice on everything. A lot lot of parking

Fueling is great food sucks salty hot dogs deep fried food not good for diabetics and high blood pressure they write comments back to us that say talk to us I am it doesnt do me any good to call the local fuel stop because they have no control over it corporate could make changes but like all corporate entities they choose not to so I wont answer and I figure change will come when they decide they want to change otherwise Ill fuel there but not eat

This is a great FlyingJ. Great selection of food items, coffee, and soda. Love the hot food case. The spicy chicken tenders are awesome.

The store in general was great, but walking into the drivers area an bathroom an shower area you get a strong sense they have issues with there drains

Out standing when it comes to service for handicap and disabled Drivers. Thank you for helping me help myself and my family. Im back in the truck to help my grandchildren and there mothers!

Easy access for our 34 RV. Close to the highway and reasonable prices. Also, good for a quick bite.

As I drive from Missouri to Indiana, this FLYING J is always out stop to refresh (food, gas, restroom) and its always a pleasant stop. From the attendants at the counter to the Dennys thats connected to it, I love it. And their gas prices are always competitively great!!!

Our Nation is in chris. Our company is overwhelmed with business we drivers can hardly keep up with. As team drivers our truck is moving 18 to 20 hours a day. So when we stopped at the Effingham, IL Flying J, and find the Dennys restaurant closed, until further notice, we were very disappointed.Weve been asked to forgo as much home time as possible. Our company has us fueling at the Pilot/Flying Js exclusive. We feel extremely let down by this location. The Dennys at the J in Spiceland, IN is open 24 hours. Its a slap in the face to all truck drivers who are counting on track stops to provide fresh, healthy meals to keep us running.

This place is always busy and hectic. Womens bathroom was clean, store looked descent, nice selection of foods. They do have salads and fresh fruits. They DO have a stamp machine thankfully, much appreciated. Coffee was flowing and good.

Had handicap placard, pulled into space that was marked reserve but also had a handicap marking in the middle of it. Went inside at around 6:45 or so, talked to lady in white shirt and told her I parked in that specific area, she talked to someone on her earpiece and later took my truck number and said it would be ok.....well at 12:40 a.m. they supposedly had a shift change and was woken up to a different manager who changed the approval to meet the mighty dollar and forced me to move while my log was in sleeper/ off duty mode. Next time Fly J when you change the handicap areas to reserve, remove the handicap painting completely not throw some old paint on it that wears off and shows the handicap emblem again....... also make the managers communicate thoroughly between shifts so incidents like this wont happen again!

I love the coffee they make it so creamy its just the way I like it with a side of a donut or something and it would be bomb

Excellent stop to make, foods as usual dependable with decent prices. Showers are up to par as well...

We needed to get water and dump our head from out big bunk truck. We are professional truck drivers. We have a large bunk truck. How can we get to the RV dump? Oh we are not allowed I. The car/RV area. So, this is a TRUCK STOP!So where is the hose we are supposed to use?Please turn on the water at the professional disiel pumps for us professional truck drivers.

Its ok

Guy cleaning the restrooms on 11/15/20 @ 1300 needs to learn some manners. Very rude and short.

Worst flying j Ive been to. Pump not working properly. Would not give Sams Club discount. Clerk rude, had to call manger. Finally got the discount entitled to. Flying J and Pilots are usually great. This one at I-39 exit #1 in Illinois sucks. Will not stop there again. Will buy my 100 gallons of diesel elsewhere.

Stupid stuff (Mike) he don’t now how to speak with people I asked him for printing One paper and that stupid Mike made me wait for 10 minutes and he started attending other customers my message is to management teach your employee (Mike) how to speak with customer

Friendly place!! Had lunch out of the deli and it was delicious. E enough had the distilled water I needed

This Flying J has a very large auto/RV area. Very easy for large gas fueled RVs to get in and out.

This is a pretty big and busy place. The paper towels and the wiper fluid was filled and the fuel Islands were clean when I filled up today. Inside was clean and well-stocked and three or four cashiers were working to keep the lines down. I was impressed

Always stop here when hauling the RV. Easy gassing up and getting back on the road. Clean and usually has a place to get some good. They accept Good Sam discounts as well.

The service for a group of 8 diners was great. Best Ive had there. Ask for Nathan.Food was good.
