“It's in the middle of no place but has decent food for the price. The people were friendly. It's by a nice park in an area with not a lot going on so I was happy to find the place.”

“We are so lucky to have this gas station in our town. Quite often, we need to drive long distances to a special veterinarian appointment for a breeding or to deliver a puppy out of town. We always stop here to top off the gas tank and to stock up on drinks and snacks for, what is frequently, an entire day of driving. Phil”

“I highly recommend Hy-Vee Pharmacy. They have wonderful people who help you with any questions you may have about your medications. They also make pill packs for you. Many pharmacies don’t. One day I asked if they sold a few over-the-counter medicines I needed. The girl knew exactly where they were and brought them to me.”

“My car broke down at the BP while my 17 yr old was driving it. He was very upset and stressed about it and wasn’t sure what to do. I couldn’t help for almost two hours. They were very understanding, when they easily could have had it towed! I thank them dearly for being patient and understanding! To whomever the lady working from 4 to 6, thank you! We truly appreciate you!”

“Stopped by this gas station for a break from the road and a refuel. The pumping area was clean and easy to navigate. It is close to a 7 Eleven and a few other stores and restaurants which make it a convenient stop. The windshield washing stations has clean refill and did not appear or smell stagnant. I deducted a star because the fuel price was expensive compared to what I paid elsewhere. Other than that, it was a good stop.”

“Hey love the gas station great people good prices I'm writing this because you're closed right now, but the coupler for the fuel Nozzle on pump four is leaking gas”

“Best place for ice cream in town hands down, also freshly made cookies that are to die for. All inclusive candy isle and snacks. But also has a neat novelty toy section and displays by register for purchase. Let’s just say the impulse section has worked on me. But the overall experience is like entering the country America once used to be, old time Americana vibes no way to describe it but just a lovely gas station.”

“Murphy's tends to be the least cost per gallon in the Belvidere area. The inside is small but clean and the attendees are always nice, professional and helpful!! Not to mention Marlboro price for two packs is decent too! Thank YOU Murphy's....you're "my gas station" and Walmart is "my store"! ??”

“This gas station doesn't ever have the cheapest gas, doesn't have the most competitive prices on snacks or drinks but I always end up stopping here for fuel and a drink in the morning because of the people. It's one of the few places left in Sycamore where a true Cheers type of small town relationship with the employees and even the other folks who stop around the same time every day happens.”
1615 DeKalb Avenue, Sycamore IL 60178
“Great customer service. I went there to get some kerosene, and the person on duty gladly made sure the pump was operational. I'm sure more gets used during the heating season. All worked out perfectly, and I paid inside since there isn't a card reader on that pump. The kerosene is reasonably priced, and it was a great experience because the attendant was very helpful and conscientious.”
439 W Main St, Genoa IL 60135
“Normal gas station and convenience store location. Good selection of beer and soft drinks plus frozen food to carry out. They also have a good selection of chips and other snacks. Prices are competitive with other stations in the area.”
2500 Pearl Street, Belvidere IL 61008
“No complaints here. There's a Mobile station on either side of the highway. Both stations connect by means of the bridge which provides a number of fast food restaurants. The gas prices are about the same as others down the road so you won't be ripped off. I notice people get lured in by signs that read "last oasis", however not far down the road on west bound 94 there are other stations.”
2091 Crystal Parkway, Belvidere IL 61008

“Speedway has been a great addition to our town. They offer a much needed place for truck drivers to safely rest; as well as the other amenities you'd expect from a gas station. They have a decent selection of drinks and a nice hot food grill you can order from.”

“Had a pleasant experience here today. There was an issue with a credit owed back to my debit card and the manager, Kintsu and his staff, Azia and Joel were very adamant about taking care of it. It’s not very often you get service like this from fuel stations!”

“Yesterday my vehicle told me that my tire pressure was low. I immediately started to panic because I was on my way to Wisconsin. I saw that circle k had a tire pump but I had never used one before. I went inside to ask if one of the clerks could help and he willingly help me. He went out of his way to make sure that each of my tires was pumped up. I wish I could remember his name. It was great customer service for something that he did not have to do. Thank you”

“I really enjoy this gas station, it's employees are always chill and jovial and make conversation if I intiate it. They're responsive and nice too. They have...6? icee flavors I believe, some are seasonal (though they've had this set for a pretty long time) and for Summer 2025, they're only 99c for like....a 48ounce cup. Hell yeah man. Gettin me some icees this summer. I don't know, I just like how chill the store is. It never feels judgey or like anyone's anxious or hyper, it's just a chill gas station.”

“Stopped at this gas station a couple times in the past few years. The staff has been very freindly and their always trying to get me the best deal in town. The gas station is clean and has an amazing appearance. They sell licensed hats that are amazing quality and are cheaper then anywhere ive seen. This gas station is truly one of a kind i would've never expected to have a favorite gas station.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains.
