    An annual tradition for our family to stop here while driving from O'Hare to Wisconsin. Quick bite, ice cream, then a coffee to go.

    It reminds me of when I was a little kid and my family would take rides to Chicago. But a lot more updated now!

    $6.40 for an Auntie Annie’s pretzel and small Coke? The mirage at this oasis is value. ;)

    Clean and fairly up to date. Good place to take a break if you've been on the road a while.

    One of my biggest pet peeves. Guys that are too lazy to walk from an actually parking spot so they block the diesel pumps.

    Normal oasis, great food that's terrible for you and awful Nordstrom style lobby music throughout. Can't beat a clean bathroom tho.

    If you're heading to MKE I suggest stopping here. There aren't many places to stop until you hit WI!

    I think this is where the phrase "we found love in a hopeless place" was created.
