The stop worth pulling off for.
Halfway between Springfield and Rolla, open 24 hours: TOP TIER™ fuel, clean restrooms, cold drinks, the snack run, and a bourbon wall people plan their route around.
Where to stop on I-44 in Missouri
I-44 runs from St. Louis down through Rolla, Lebanon and Springfield on the way to Joplin and Tulsa. The stretch between Rolla and Springfield is the long quiet one, and Lebanon sits in the middle of it at Exit 129. If you are timing a fuel stop, this is the sensible place to take it.
What is actually here
Phillips 66® TOP TIER™ fuel and diesel. Restrooms kept clean because people notice. Coffee on around the clock. The full road-trip run — jerky, chips, candy, cold drinks. And the thing that makes this stop different from every other exit: a bourbon wall with allocated bottles and single-barrel store picks, priced to the book.
A reason to stop here instead of the next exit
Most highway stops are interchangeable. This one is family-run, it is open 24 hours, and it has something you cannot buy at the next exit — hard-to-find bourbon that people drive out of their way for. Fuel up, stock up, and see what landed on the wall this week.
