1401 Ripley St, Lake Station“They did not have a family bathroom but the attendants were kind enough to let my young daughter and myself into a shower room so we could take care of business and not have to be separated.”

1235 Ripley St, Lake Station“I have gone to the Blue Beacon many times behind this location and until today i never stepped foot into this very clean very well organized truck stop!! staff there are very pleasant. The manager is doing an awesome job!!!”
“Looks can be deceiving. This gas station has been here forever. Even though it doesn't look like much, it has everything you need. I've shopped here about 3 million times”
“They may be owned by, and part of, the larger Speedway chain, but the smaller setting and people is what makes the difference. For me, it's the way you're better, more personally treated and the employees that make it worth going to Rich's over Speedway.”

2178 Ripley St, Lake Station“This BP happens to be between where I ate and where I got back on the interstate so I wandered in via "path of least resistance" but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was excellent, polite, knowledgeable, and helpful! The BP also had a good selection of snacks and several convenience items that I wanted for the trip. If you are heading towards the highway, use care to choose which driveway you use to get out of the BP. There are traffic island curbs in the roadway that aren't visually obvious if you take the intuitive exit.”

2151 Ripley St, Lake Station“The Road Ranger I visited was a typical highway rest stop. It had the basics – gas, snacks, and drinks. The layout was decent, making it easy to grab what you need and get back on the road. However, don't expect anything extraordinary.
The restrooms were clean enough, but the food options were limited and overpriced. Overall, it's a functional place to refuel and stretch your legs, but there's nothing to write home about.”

1201 Ripley St, Lake Station“Vantastic TA Travel Center! So this is a large property with room for any size rig or RV. The lots were clean, well maintained, well lit and fairly level. There are separate big rig and auto fuel islands. The store and bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The store was well stocked and well staffed. There are multiple food and restaurant options. I had full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming, no wifi and 65 OTA television channels. As always, I left my area cleaner than when I arrived and made an in store purchase to thank TA for allowing me to overnight.”
“I like this place to buy my gas. Easy in and out. They usually cheaper than other gas stations right down the street. Service friendly. I do prefer to grab my coffee at DD next door.”
