How it all started Iowa 80 began its operation in 1964 in a small, white enamel building in the middle of Iowa cornfields just west of the Mississippi River; Interstate 80 wasn’t even complete, under the guidance of Bill Moon, Standard Oil built and opened the Truckstop. At that time, Iowa 80 had two diesel pumps, one lube bay and a small restaurant operated by William Peel, Sr. and his wife Ruth. Over the years, the restaurant has grown from a 50 seat diner in 1964 to its current capacity of 250 seats with an additional banquet facility. The third and fourth generations of the Peel Family still operate Iowa 80 Kitchen with the same motto as its founders: “Nothin’ fancy, Just good food.” We thank you for dining with us today. Our goal is to make you feel welcome and comfortable in a pleas- ant place while providing the services and products you need.
