That long open road is calling, and there’s nothing but plains and highway ahead. It’s almost blissful – until we feel our stomach rumbling and food seems a million miles away! That’s where roadside stops come in, but we’ve all felt that disappointment of stopping at a rest area or truck stop and finding only mediocre fast food chains. That’s not the case at 218 Fuel Express in the town of Floyd, a truck stop that features a gas station, a convenience store, and what has to be the best gas station restaurant in Iowa. Rick’s Wagon Wheel Restaurant is a full-service diner serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a rustic, western-themed environment. It doesn’t just feel like a place to fill up before getting back on the road – it feels like a restaurant worth a drive in itself.
