    Two Pork Chops, Mac N Cheese with Mashed Potatoes. Carbs on Carbs
    April R.

    Who would of thought you'd get mouth watering Pork Chops inside a gas station/truck stop? Whelp, it's true... These bad boys were extra juicy, fresh and piping hot. The mashed potatoes were pretty basic and made with potato flakes I believe. The consistency was OFF. The Mac N Cheese left a strange, lingering aftertaste. That being said, I just ate one Pork Chop and saved the rest for the hubby. I paid 17$ for 2 Pork Chops, Mac N Cheese, Mashed Potatoes and a slice of cornbread. The Price is pretty steep compared to a year ago. For the same meal it would cost about 14$. Next time I'm here, I will probably just get the Chops and skip the rest. Overall for this being truck stop food it's better than most. It your not in the mood for Pork, they also offer Meatloaf or Chicken. Keep on Truckin'

    Huge grassy area to let the dog run!!

    The prized gem of Tejón Ranch!! As a SoCal girl who like the travel to NorCal often, this place provides clean restrooms, affordable snacks, quality gas, and a nice large area my dog can run around in while we stretch our legs. This rest stop is about halfway between LA and the Bay Area, so it's much needed.

    Very clean restrooms!! Located two exits before going up the grapevine. This is always our go-to stop before going into LA. Good place to stretch your legs too. There's a Wendys, Baskin Robbins, and the Petro Store. Friendly and helpful employees.

    I will bookmark this place as THE gas station and shop I will stop at from now on with my bi-monthly trips from NorCal to SoCal.

    Never done this for a gas station but I will bookmark this place as THE gas station and shop I will stop at from now on with my bi-monthly trips from NorCal to SoCal. LOVE!!! SUPER CUTE BATHROOMS! After a really long drive and general traveling, it was SO nice to be greeted with a cheerful and cute bathroom...inspiring actually that anyone would go the extra mile to create a welcoming place that was relevant to the upcoming holiday: Valentine's. Made me feel so happy that I made sure to pick up any trash that I saw on my way back to the car. I also felt compelled to look around the store to see if I could support the local economy by buying any specialty food they may have. I extra appreciate and respect the staff and the owners.

    Festive bathroom decor!!!!

    Why this is the very first time I've seen|heard of TA Travel Center is beyond me but I sure am glad…read moreto have stumbled across this location today. While my family and I were on our way home, we made a quick detour to fuel up the car, grab some snacks, and to use the restrooms. I am pretty confident in saying you will be able to find whatever you are in need of, here. Bonus points for having delicious eats all under one roof- Burger King, Popeyes, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Subway. TA Travel Center is grand in size, the establishment is extremely roomy, things were organized, and while most shelves and aisles were stocked, the chips department was bare as a bone. Snacks are plentiful whether you are in need of just deliciously processed foods or healthier options. The restrooms are tidy and have restrooms on both ends of the building- that leaves for less wait times and quicker visits going in and out. The sales clerk was friendly, prompt, and the pricing is fair. 5 stars, I wouldn't hesitate to come back again.

    OVERVIEW: After or before making the Grapevine mountain run,…read morethis is a good place to take a pit stop. But it's far from ideal, and could be A LOT BETTER. CONS: Hands down, Love's & Flying J Gas / Truck stops are far superior to TA Travel Centers any day of the week. TA simply feels old and outdated. The bathrooms are old, the coffee machines are old, and the corporate owners are not doing anything to upgrade the facilities. There have been times when the Men's / Women's bathrooms have been closed for cleaning maintenance DURING PEAK BUSINESS HOURS. Even though there are additional bathrooms, (albeit much smaller) on the premises, if a charter bus unloads a large group of passengers at this location during a peak hour maintenance break, YOU HAVE A DISASTER. C'mon management, it's a 24 HOUR FACILITY !!! Do the cleaning maintenance during slow traffic periods !!! There are many other gas stations at the East & West Laval Road Exits. (With TA Travel being on the East side.). But for some inexplicable reason, there seems to be a lot of flies at this location. So if you open your car or truck door for an extended period of time, you're sure to get flies in your cabin. I have never experienced this problem at other locations at Laval Road. There must be some sanitation issues there that are causing the flies to congregate there in force. PROS: HUGE parking lot. So if you want to walk your dog, or simply relax in your car for awhile, you're sure to find a spot which is quiet and no one will bother you. There is security on the property. (Although the same security company covers other establishments on Laval Road.) There are several food options ri. (Burger Thing, Taco Belly, Pizza the Hutt and Papi Eyes Louisiana Chicken, not mention the make it yourself hot dogs inside the TA facility.)

There are many gas pumps so you rarely ever have to wait for gas. The food nearby makes this the perfect pit stop. The employees are always very friendly. PERFECT place for letting your dogs out for a quick meal/potty break. So much grass!! The whole center on the South Bound side has grass by every business. But there is a large patch of grass on the backside of the 76 station. Beware of bottle caps, cigarette butts, and anything else you don't want your dog eating.. but that's not the business's fault. Some people just suck and don't clean up after themselves even tho there are garbage bins nearby making it super easy to clean up after yourself / picking up after your dog. I feel lame saying I love this gas station haha. but it's genuinely my favorite stop along I-5. I feel safe, clean, comfortable at this well maintained, busy stop.

Being public restroom phobic I never attempt to go to public restrooms. My motto hold it until you burst, but the grapevine I thought better not chance it we still had over and hours drive home. So we stopped here and let me just say it's the rolls Royce of public bathrooms. It was nicely decorated with a Hawaiian theme, everything was clean, every stall was clean and the smell was amazing. This station deserves a 5 star public restroom rating. I will now make this my place to stop whenever we head up north or come home. Thank you for such a great experience...
