“The people are always fun to talk with and a great atmosphere 😊. So many choices for sandwiches and food . Sorry to Stewart's and subway but I'm addicted to the subs here . When I'm craving a good sub I make my husband walk down to grab me my favorite 😍”
“I’m always there at 2:30 in the morning asking for food Tom makes sure it’s hot and ready for me every morning I’m not sure I could make it to work without Tom or my Stewart’s breakfast ?❤️”
“Wowza! This place was way more than I expected. It’s a combo convenience store and cafe. The food was delicious, our wait person was fantastic, and the atmosphere was fun with mostly locals eating there. This isn’t my mimosa talking either, it truly was great! ❤️?”
“Nice Stewart’s location. Close to Herkimer Koa. Good and clean. Tbh the star of the show is the Amish food and baked goods pop up that setup outside in parking lot on Saturday. It was insanely good baked goods, canned foods, candles. Very good worth the stop. We got the pumpkin bread, pickles, fry pies, cookies, pop corn. Can’t wait to come back”
“The employees working at Cliff's, about 1pm, on Friday, May 1st, were absolutely AMAZING! When I began pumping gas, a hole in the hose started spraying gas like a fountain; spraying gas on me and my car. Two employees immediately ran out to help me while the pump was shut off from inside. Luckily, I had been visiting my son and had extra clothes in the car. The two employees inside were very kind and were making sure I was all right. While I was waiting for the car wash (Which they comped), I had a very nice conversation with one of the employees that had come out to help me originally (The store manager). I told her how I lived three hours away and I was supposed to be back at a certain time, and I didn't think I was going to make it. When I pulled out of the car wash, the cashier was waiting for me with money in his hand and said that the gas from the spill was charged to my card and wouldn't be refunded until 7 to 10 days. They knew I was from out of town, so all the employees pooled their money together so I could have that money right then. It was one of the sweetest moments I've ever had the pleasure to experience. Everything they did was out of caring and kindness. Quick thinking, too! Thank you, Kelly, Mariah, John and Megan!!! I appreciate each one of you!!! ❤️”
“Stewart is quintessential Upstate New York and the unofficial center of several hundred small communities, where folks check in, coffee up, treat kids with ice cream, and fill up, helped by always-friendly staff. It's also the only chain location I'm aware of - in the country - where tire air is always proudly free and available. Such little kindnesses instill brand and customer loyalty.”
“A very convenient place for many! Good coffee, friendly staff. There is this one particular woman named Jessica who always has a smile on her face and never fails to put a smile on mine.”
“have not been there but asked about a reaction I am having from a COVID shot . call was answered quickly and professional she is a very good listener. couldn't have been better if I ever get another COVID shot (doubtful) I will transfer from the ilion to the Herkimer store.”
“Had such a wonderful experience this evening. Jessica the manager went out of her way to make me a fresh buttered roll and was so kind and Curteious. The coffee is great too”
“i love fastrac. I am a regular here because i live down the street and i like running here for anything i might need, or a quick snack. and this store has everything. the employees are super friendly and nice! and it's usually pretty clean. this is such a great gas station.”
