“Store is always clean and the chicken is good. They’ve really done a lot inside to spruce it up and the store looks great. Staff is usually friendly and I will go out of my way to stop here for some of my tobacco products.”

“This gas station had the lowest prices in the area! There were plenty of pumps for everyone to get their gas. The staff were nice and helpful. The inside was clean too. I used the restroom, which was difficult to find slightly, but was very clean and amazing smelling. I think this is a good stop for off the highway!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“desperately wish my vehicle could make it to ernie's to be worked on... i've had nothing but top notch service here over the years on two different vehicles. when they were doing my oil changes and maintenance my car was in perfect condition. i was a delivery driver, detailer and porter in valparaiso, very familiar with most automotive businesses and i full heartedly trust ernie's only. unfortunately i moved out of state and after having to take my car elsewhere, it is in horrible shape. i'm about an hour out from valparaiso now and haven't had luck finding anybody of similar quality.edit: i'm seeing some other reviews about the techs being condescending to women. i am a female in my mid 20s and have personally never had that issue. mike and robert were always very pleasant, they are who i remember helping me.”

“This is my Favorite family Express. They always have lots of candy and soda. It's kept very clean. The bathrooms are very clean. The floores are spotless and and the staff is extremely nice. AND the atm machine is never out of service. I always go in in the evening after work. And there's this one girl who is always doing something sweeping cleaning. Wiping down the soda machines stocking the coolers, she's always working hard and in a good mood. These folks work really hard. I Think they do an awesome job. I can't wait until they start doing the pizzas!! ????? ☆☆☆☆☆”

“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.”

“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!”

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.
