Gurnee Truck Stop is a well-regarded truck stop in the Chicago area, known for its plentiful and hassle-free truck parking, which is free for overnight stays. It offers diesel fuel, Shell quality gas, and facilities including clean showers, laundry, and bathrooms. A key feature is the on-site Mother Cluckers Chicken restaurant, praised for having the best chicken, along with other menu items like pizza and links. The business also provides basic groceries, snacks, a lottery machine, and a car wash. The owner and staff are consistently described as kind, friendly, and helpful, going above and beyond for customers. While hot food options are limited and southbound access requires a detour, it is considered a great, quiet place for truckers and RV travelers to rest.
Mother clucker is the best chicken for fast food I've had in long long time.

Been here a few times. The best thing about this place is probably the free parking. Its fine if youre going northbound. But if youre delivering or need to go back south, prepare to take a long detour. Not much for hot food, they sell store bought pizza and links at a premium.
