“On our way to Cooperstown, we stopped at this Fastrac.It was just an ordinary store, with a lot of junk food and all sorts of drinks. But I was startled by the coffee they served me on that day. It was only 25 cents (a small cup), but surely it was good! I enjoyed it all the way to Cooperstown! If you happened to pass by, it would be worthwhile to try their coffee!”
“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 😍”
“Lowest gas prices in my area. Good people that work there. Always pleasant and helpful. They have a small convenience store and are centrally located in town. It's a nice place to get that quick loaf of bread or milk along with your gas.”
“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!!! ❤️”
“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 ?❤️”
“What's better than Stewart's? Is a "New" Stewart's... And What's better than "a New Stewart's"? Is a New Stewart's with great Gas Prices! Yep get gas and save a few bucks, then go inside, get a hot coffee, or a half gallon of milk. Nothing like a Stewart's milkshake or ice cream, both excellent!”
“Delicious local coffees! Clean, friendly. Low beer prices. Subway shop inside. A few little tables inside to sit, eat, have coffee, plus free WiFi. Great one-stop shop!”
“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.”
“Perfect location, convenient to get in and out of, staff are helpful and the fuel prices are currently cheapest in the area. Have had some of the food items which are reasonably priced and taste good.”
“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.”
“A huge thank you to Rob and his team, who were so kind and assisted me this morning. I was out of gas (like below E) and google maps had me going to the nearest Sunoco so I could use the only money I had for gas, a Sunoco gift card for $20. Google maps brought me here, which is no longer Sunoco. After hearing my plight, there was no hesitation from them to help, and I will now be a regular customer there. Thank you guys so much :)”
“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”
“The guy named Alan who works there was worth putting 5 stars on a review, guy was super nice and I love seeing people who love to work up-selling products when they don't have to because they love their job and it shows the passion they have for their job.”
“Always courteous convenient service, help is polite, cleanly dressed, helpful, accurate, store is clean or being cleaned, items are top notch but prices on everyday items are not competitive with other stores closer. Sorry guys, guess the upper mgmt won't lower prices to move off the limited shelves so keep dusting them off. LOL!”
“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.”
