“Friendly staff all very very hard working . Doesn't look like an easy job . Ringing up customers, making sandwiches , milkshakes, coffee ,pizza and dealing with lotto . Occasionally the wait can be a bit long due to the popularity of this location”

“I brought my car in for an oil change and inspection, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Everyone was so helpful and explained everything clearly. The process was quick, and the price was very fair. Highly recommend this shop!”

“There are 2 long term employees that seem to be the pillar of our local Stewart's they seem to be there everyday and the best part of being a local is being remembered and they make me feel like I'm hometown I see them making customers laugh and they can get through a long line w the same kindness for everyone or they'll 6yhstop doing the behind the scenes work just to open a 2nd lane quick. I never feel like I'm being rushed or in the way I feel right at home when entering and exiting. 5 stars absolutely”

“Don't listen to the other incoherently rambling Yelp review bashing this place or its hardworking employees. (Who are saints for having to put up with entitled old codgers and cranky townies all day.) Stewart's is a regional treasure and this one is terrific. Having recently been rebuilt, it's better than ever. They even have a BEER CAVE now (AKA a large refrigerated room chock full of craft beer, domestics, imports, and local brews). Prices are reasonable and the convenient location can't be beat. Their cold brew iced coffee is delicious and absolutely crushes Starbucks or other "fancy" coffee shops. And get this: employees have equity in the company. How cool is that? Skip the rest stop and pull off Exit 29 instead.”

“I love this gas station mainly because of the big titted beaver. That’s what drew me in I can’t lie. The bathrooms are disgusting but the beaver makes up for it. The employees there are wonderful and make sure you find everything you need. We need more Betty Beavers in New York. God bless”
97 North Main Street, Dolgeville NY 13329
“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.”

“This is a great place to stop, not only for gas but for wonderful breakfast sandwiches! This store is very clean and organized. The owner is really nice and has done a great job stocking this store.”
18 Willett St, Fort Plain NY 13339
“Whenever we visit family that is in the area, my children and I make sure we visit Stewart's first thing. We especially miss the breakfast sandwiches (hard roll) among the other delicious choices. On our last recent visit, our choice of sandwich wasn't in the display case. We asked if they could make it for us, despite being busy. Both times, Donna was very nice and eager to do so. It was very appreciated to see someone go above and beyond and to be so kind.”

“Turn off the car, get out, stick in your card, follow the menu, forget about the gas cap, go back and pop the lid, stick in the nozzle, and squeeze the trigger. If you’ve pumped gas before you’ll find yourself in familiar territory. Fine and efficient here. If you’re new to gas, plan on taking a few extra minutes — savor the new experience.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
