“I was traveling through Indiana and stopped at this quick stop. I've never had such a friendly experience at a gas station or as a matter of fact, anywhere! The gentleman at the counter was so friendly and helpful. You can really tell when someone enjoys what they do and likes to interact with people and this guy really did. He made the long trip a little easier just by letting me know there are still some great people in the world!”

“ALWAYS this location is the best when it comes to friendliness and customer service! Others have been snobby and lacking on service, but this store is on top of it!”
4300 North Calumet Avenue, Valparaiso IN 46383
“The pizza is good but the chicken sandwich was horrible dry you take a bite and the whole piece of chicken comes out. The cashier must have been having a bad day. It's kind of getting old inside the store. The wear and tear is starting to show”

“Good Pilot, parking is kind of a nightmare sometimes. It looks like they re allocated thier spots so there is not as many parking in front, leading a lot of people to Park at pumps”

“Incredibly impressed with this branch’s management of long lines post-August 11, 2026, storm. We pulled into the location at night and found lines of cars spilling into both Calumet Ave and Vale Park Road. I estimated refueling could take about an hour. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find the manager of the store outside in the fueling area, along with a few other employees, and all were directing cars to specific pumps and helping drivers problem solve small issues. Their efforts made the process incredibly efficient, stress-free, and actively prevented fights from breaking out. Kudos to this specific FE location! We will be back!”

“Overall, this is a nice place to do business at. The staff is usually very friendly and helpful (especially the Owner/Manager!), and you can tell that your business is appreciated here. The store is conveniently located next to the Town & Country market, and I like the fact that getting in and out of the lot is pretty easy compared to other gas stations. Fuel pricing is always competitive here as well. The store is usually very clean, organized, and features a good selection of common convenience store items (soda, chips, cigarettes, etc.). A restroom is also available for customer use, and is always very clean. My only complaint about this location is the pricing of grocery items inside the store. Cigarettes, beverages from the cooler, and grocery items are noticeably more expensive than at competitor's stores (ie: Speedway). However, the friendliness of the staff and this store's location usually offset my pricing concerns. I guess I'd rather pay a little extra for quality service whenever possible. Again, this BP is a nice place to do business at, and I do recommend stopping by.”

“Amazing owners, amazing employees! Lots of options for drinks and snacks. Has household items and lots of vape choices! They always recommend different flavors and have discounted vapes as well as zero nicotine vapes!”

“PI Day is the BEST at Speedway! Breakfast Pizza (sausage and gravy) is almost as good as real biscuits and gravy. The rest of the pizzas beat the nearest competition. Stock up and save! (We wish we had more freezer space.)”
Carrsbrooke Dr, Valparaiso IN 46383
“This gas station was so clean especially the bathrooms!! Also the staff were exceptionally friendly! One was stocking shelves and the other running the cash register helping a gentleman find out how much the lottery was. I will always stop here for drinks and snacks when we drive thru this town!!!”

“This place serves up Broaster Chicken and unlike many other locations is willing to drop to order. I'm glad I found this place as I was sick of "we are out of chicken" everywhere else. Other places seem to drop at the beginning of the day and then once they are sold out they are done.”
1856 Samuelson Rd, Portage IN 46368
“Great place to stop in and pick up items such as paper towels, toilet paper etc. at great prices. They have lots of other items as well. A good place to make a quick stop for snacks, too.”
5620 US-6, Portage IN 46368
“This was the only Speedway in the area that had Breakfast Pizza and we had to ask for it because it wasn't in the front of the freezer, but in the area in the back. We bought some for us and treated the people at church to it.”
1901 Burlington Beach Road, Valparaiso IN 46383
“Certainly a convenient place to go since they're all over. Gas prices are comparable and you get 5 cents off if you're a member. It adds up. The car wash is good but not great. The back of my car never seems to get properly cleaned.”
502 Gateway Blvd, Chesterton IN 46304
“Was coming in for a quick breakfast sandwich, reader was having problems but toni was super kind and made me a delicious sandwich quickly. All staff is super helpful and considerate, especially toni!”

“Mary Jane is the best!!! She is always so sweet to me and gives great recommendations! I’m not sure what that girl wrote about her having her “taste test” the item, but that is 100% not true. MJ always has me open them to see if they work, NOT “taste” them and give them back. That’s like going to the store, opening a drink to try it, and putting it back because you dislike it… also, no one wants other peoples mouths on their vapes!!! You don’t like it, then don’t get it again.. no need to write dishonest reviews about the situation :)))”

“This location is pretty close to me so I’ll say it’s my favorite for that 😆 but great staff usually stocked up with everything I need”
2306 Calumet Ave, Valparaiso IN 46383
“This was my 2nd time getting pizza from this location and I came in 10 minutes before closing, I had no clue they were about to close and felt like a complete jerk for ordering a pizza that late, but the girl at the pizza oven seriously was the kindest most professional employee and it made the end of my day so much better! She took the order, made the pizza and got it done in minutes! She really made a day of working 11 hours on my feet all day worth it, so thanks for having such a hard worker on your staff!”

“Very good experience no complaints but I have to subtract 1 star, owner is a pretty nice person, but I can’t remember if it’s the owner or the clerk (I hope a clerk) but they said something one time we went it happened to be on Juneteenth along the lines of “we don’t celebrate Juneteenth, it’s like some black holiday ” ( Juneteenth is celebrating the end of chattel slavery) knowing how nice the owner is and how little I remember I doubt it was him, but still 1 less star, other than that 5 stars”

“I have a Meijers MC. I do use it to fill my gas tank as well as for shopping. 10 cents off a gallon cones in handy when b its time to fill up. It also adds to my MPerks totals too.”

“Has a little bit of everything you need. Staff is great and helpful! Owner makes you feel like you have know him for years! And not just as a customer but as an actual friend! Will definitely keep coming to this location!”

“Came in to the Pilot on the way home from Brookfield zoo. I've been here several times over the years and the bathrooms have consistently been clean. Being a day trip person, having a spot to go where I know the bathrooms are clean is a must. Pilot stations tend to be consistently clean and they have showers (usually for truckers but I don't think it is exclusively for truckers). The Pilot has lots of snacks including prepackaged, hot meals, and drinks. If you want something more than that, this location also has a Subway and a McDonald's to get you through. Whether you need gas, a bathroom, or even a snack, this gas station is a fine choice.”
752 Indian Boundary Rd, Chesterton IN 46304
“I drive all over the region for work. I've been to probably 50 Speedways and many other gas stations this year. This was by far the cleanest station I've been to. I first noticed how clean the cappuccino machine was (it's hit or miss at most gas stations.) This place was immaculate all the way around. Couldn't have been more impressed. I mentioned it to the Julie at the register and I could tell she was very proud. Its nice to come to a place where people still take pride in doing good work. Ill be stopping in here as often as I can.”
