After all, you get gas when you need it or if you're stopping for food or to use the bathroom or whatever and not based on what some dude driving from Chicago to Toronto has to say about a random Shell station. But I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to this place. It looks like a nice enough service station but I was only there for a minute. The reason I'm going out of my way to recommend it is that they actually took nineteen (!!) Sacagawea dollars off my hands when I went to pay for gas that I wouldn't have been able to get rid of otherwise, seeing as I was on my way back to Canada. Seriously. If that's not a minor miracle, I don't know what is. As an aside, don't ask what I was doing with nineteen Sacagawea dollars. Needless to say, I'm a bit of an idiot. Thank you for saving me, random Shell station!

I'm so upset.

Most of the time.

Whoa. There's an old woman working nights that really should not be in customer service. I was in…read morethe store recently (about 9 pm) and all she did was rant at the young guy working with her. Even used the F word - among other cuss words - in front of a line of customers. She had the poor guy running to the coffeepots, in the back, behind the register, not letting him finish one thing before she hollered at him to do something else. I ended up walking out without making a purchase, along with 2 others. Her behavior was disgusting. I felt sorry for the kid working with her. I've been a regular customer at this store; because of what I saw I'll now go out of my way to a different one. Sad that such a good business continues to employ such a person.

I could spend this whole review ripping Blue Ox,but I'm here to review Mr.Fuel. This place is very nice. Like I previously stated, they have workable pumps, a nice convenience store, and very good hot take out food! The pizza is good, the desserts are good, and believe it or not the store made salads are excellent! I know that sounds crazy for a gas station salad, but they really are good. And their good about giving you extra packages of dressing without charging you extra for them like many fast food joints do. As far as their gas prices go, they're in line with all the other truck stops on Ripley, so give them a try. I think you'll be pretty satisfied with them.

The gas pumps are a little scary if you're using your credit card. This place had really clean restrooms and pretty friendly staff.

Even a great spot to go to after picking up your fireworks for the Fourth of July or any reason.

The parking lot is large with plenty of space, making it easy to maneuver no matter what you're driving. Inside, the store has a wide range of travel essentials, snacks, drinks, and must-have supplies for the road. There are also plenty of fast-food options available, which makes grabbing a quick meal simple without needing to leave the area. The restaurant and hot food sections looked decent, though they were definitely feeling the rush when I visited. Restrooms were available, but they could've used more attention. They were usable, just not as clean as a busy travel center should keep them. Checkout moved fairly quickly, and the staff kept things flowing even with a steady line. The fuel pumps were clean, well-lit, and easy to access, which made refueling straightforward. Prices were standard for a TA, nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, it's a dependable stop for fuel, food, and a quick break. It's not the cleanest or most polished TA I've seen, but it gets the job done when you're on the road.
