“My favorite sandwich combo is pepperoni, muenster, lettuce, & tomato w/ a little bit of mayo. Also, for much of 2023 & '24 thus far, I've been helping Dimpi's move its old stock of Bud Light bottles & cans. This might be due to a politically motivated "boycott" of Bud products. Apparently, some fragile little men regard other people's gender identity as an affront to their existence. It's one of the latest "moral" panics!”
“Friendly staff & the BEST ICE CREAM. My husband won't get his coffee anywhere else. He goes to several Stewart's Shops throughout his work day just for the coffee!!”
“Mobil is an easy stop when I’m out and need to fuel up fast. I like that I can pull in, fill up, grab a drink if I need one, and get back on the road without wasting time. Simple, convenient, and reliable.”
“a nice stop when I need something quick. I like that I can grab coffee, snacks, ice cream, or a few basics without making a big trip. It has a simple local feel and is always convenient when I’m nearby.”
“I had a wonderful experience at this CVS in Target Poughkeepsie. Erica and Paige are superstars! Erica went above and beyond to transfer my urgently needed prescription to her pharmacy after an unpleasant experience at the CVS on 2503 South Road. Erica is kind, caring, professional and super efficient! I would give more than 5 stars if I could! Her team mate Paige is equally diligent and friendly. I wish all pharmacies were this great! Thank you Erica and Paige for going above and beyond!”
“It's the only place around if you have a bad habit of vaping (good assortment)....average price for gas compared to others. The store is pretty clean, and they have a good selection of munchies...and beer. There's never much of a wait, besides the lotto heads playing every number they see...lol. J/K.”
“Pumps in good working order, and there is compressed air for tires. Two dudes hanging out in front like Jay and Silent Bob. Convenient location. The store was not visited during this review.”
“This is definitely one of the better locations. You never find outdated products. And you never find the floor filled with unloaded boxes, and their gas is usually relatively cheap in comparison to others. If you've never been to this location. I suggest checking it out. It's definitely one of my favorites! Hot food, cold drinks and everything else You need on the fly. It's perfect!”
“The store is clean, well-stocked, and the perfect, convenient stop for a quick snack, a great Polar Pop, or fuel. The service is always fast and friendly, making it incredibly easy to get exactly what you need and get right back on the road!”
“Garden Mini is now under New Management, We are working on improving our store service .Sorry for any inconvenience happen till yet . Stop in and see us . We would love to take your suggestions .Mr. Maddy”
“FULL DISCLOSURE - My name is Jim Szamreta and I manage this location. I give our location 5 Stars for several reasons: 1. I know how hard my staff and I work to deliver exceptional customer experiences and create a sense of community for the people we serve. 2. Whether you are a 3 times a day regular customer or pass through once in a while or once a week, we strive to offer what you are craving, make you feel valued and leave in a better mood wanting to come back. 3. We take great pride in our friendliness, cleanliness, as well as consistency and value in the products we serve. In other words, I believe we SUCCEED WILDLY in the variables we can control. With that being said, there is always room for improvement and occasionally we may miss the mark or fail to deliver on our promises. We may be out of stock of your favorite product. Rarely, you may have a poor customer experience. On those days have some of our delicious ice cream or high quality coffee, I guarantee it will immediately improve those off days. EVEN BETTER, have it on me. If you take the time to speak with me or my assistant manager Theresa and offer us an opportunity to improve your next experience. Give us the chance to either win you over or restore your trust and I will buy your next coffee or scoop of ice cream. Hall of Fame Baseball Players succeed 1 out of every 3 trips to the plate. Weather-People are right less than that. I KNOW we succeed far more often than that and am confident we hit far more home runs than we have strike outs. Leave a review, good (because kindness doesn't cost anything) or bad (because we sincerely want to hear it so we can improve). Out of stock on your favorite item, let me know and I will personally order it. We get a delivery every three days, so you will never have long to wait! I make only THREE PROMISES: 1. We will always TRY to make your day better 2. We will always be fair and honest with you and strive to improve if we fall short of your expectations 3. We will always offer fresh quality products at an exceptional value All other issues can be solved with either ICE CREAM, COFFEE, DONUTS, or KINDNESS. We serve all of those ALL DAY, EVERYDAY. Thanks for checking us out! Jim”
“Walgreens is a convenient stop when I need a few everyday items or a quick pharmacy run. The store is easy to get through, and I can usually find what I need without spending too much time. Good place for prescriptions, snacks, toiletries, and last-minute basics.”
“Since I moved into the area a few months ago I have found this wonderful place and the couple that own it to be a great place to get the most awesome breakfast sandwhich I have had in a very long time, the chicken is to die for and the coffee top shelf. If you are on Innis Ave in Poughkeepsie you have to try the chicken or even have coffee & a breakfast sandwhich, trust me you will not be disappointed...”
“Good ppl u can trust not like the store on the next block that robs everyone and sells stale stuff(dalleos).I love all the staff here always respectful and trustworthy w fresh things and honest answers and the very best thing is I never get charged for things I didn't get or feel taken advantage of.(update)Atm charges u and may or may not give u the correct amount u asked for be careful w atm .....”
“It's ok, 2x now women's bathroom was locked. Knocked and didn't here anyone. Employee on speaker phone with someone, not really paying attention to customer. Whatever happened to customer's come first. Also, is this Speedway or 7 Eleven?”
“I had diarrhea in this gas station once. I was in the restroom for half an hour, my butt acting like a fountain. They were closing and thankfully the cashier let me finish. I didn't buy gas or anything. I'll never have fish tacos again. I'm only giving four stars because their tp was thin and rough and took about 4 hours and some aloe to feel normal again.”
“My husband and I travel farther to get vaccines at this Walgreens (2024 South Road Poughkeepsie) because Pharmacist Steve and Associates Michele and Mike are kind, conscientious, efficient, helpful, and operate gracefully under a great deal of pressure.”
“This place is good, ppl are nice, they have clean restroom, the dock 14 is hard to get to. I hate to say this but I gave up even tho I am a super trucker and I got in many tight docks where you have to block the traffic and put your truck in L shape in Bronx. But this dock I gave up and asked them to give me different dock. If you get in dock 14 you are a super trucker, better than me.”
“I'm so sorry I couldn't come in when you had enough stock of the necessary essentials (which I sure hope you do), but coming in when absolute purchasing of disinfectant sprays was necessary) wasn't so good, and after only a few moments of walking around, really found this place to be rather interesting (in better times). I'll have to buy from a reputable online source because you were out of what I was looking for - through the hogs that came in to devour all disinfectant products that the Northeast now lacks, and I'll try again when I'm in the area the next time - hopefully on better terms soon. Thanks for having really close parking for those who don't have handicapped placards. It wasn't busy when I came in close to closing yesterday, and I used the one spot as a pull-through and felt it was ample in the back of the first row of parking a straight shot from the door. I guess in other times you probably wouldn't be saying that here. Store was clean, and at one point I even noticed a retail clerk servicing shelves in another aisle I didn't need. I do guess that things will look up soon but you'll expect to see me in when things clear up.”
“Convenient place to handle prescriptions and pick up a few essentials at the same time. The process is usually straightforward, and I like being able to get in, take care of what I need, and be on my way.”
“Citgo is a convenient stop when I need gas and something quick. The pumps are easy to use, and I can usually get in and out without much trouble. Simple, reliable, and good for a quick stop.”
“TOTAL-31/2 stars rounded up. This little gas station is short on real estate but big on CONVENIENCE: Grab'nGo food and beverage options, and a gentleman with a lovely attitude earns 5 stars. LOCATION: Red Oaks Mills intersection at Spackenkill, Vassar, 376/New Hackensack. Deduct a 1/2 star for the inferior Dunkin' Donuts that is on site (which sells stale donuts and requires waiting in a second transaction and line). PARKING: Entering and exiting is tight and a bit complicated-careful. There is no drive through and very limited parking and the large. GAS PRICING: The day I visited, gas prices at the pump were 10 cents lower than three neighboring stations. RATE: Star reduction for the really tight parking squeeze and price sign that is often not working. In other words, you need to actually pull up to the pump to see the prices.”
“Not sure how to rate this, I just stopped for gas. I didn't try the food and it was a regular convenient store no fancy ambiance. I didn't interact with the staff so service is in question lol.”
“Went to get ice cream and was graced by amazing customer service from LANI and MELISSA!! My two favorite people to see any time I go to Stewarts!! They made my day! Cannot recommend enough 👍🏾”
“The employee named KC.. this gentleman has been an exemplary employee. Every time I come in , I see him working hard. He is always polite and courteous to customers. I get the service I need fast. I don't always give out compliments because customer service isn't always the best these days but I will do it when I see it is exceptional. This young man is certainly a valuable person to have in the store.”
