“I love this gas station. I am not familiar with the Schenectady area but since I’ve started working here, Galway Xpress is my go to. Paul the attendant is so kind and the woman who works at Krispy Krunch is such a doll. They’re always there to smile and make small talk with me.”
“M & D Convenience Store is truly a great place for all daily needs! The store is always well-stocked, clean, and organized, making shopping quick and easy. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and polite, which makes the experience even better. Prices are reasonable and you can find almost everything in one place. Highly recommended for convenience and excellent service!”
“Love love love this store and location. Great quality, healthy food. They give back to the community and utilize local farmers. Before they opened they donated every food item they made while training the employees.”
“I am absolutely ADDICTED to their oxtails over rice😭💯 I try to come through as much as possible I love the energy, it's clean, the music is always good & of course the food is amazing. Also the prices on the size that you want is very affordable compared to anywhere else I've been”
“Usually best prices apart from Crane St, Broadway Citgo & Runway near Altamont Ave Walmart. I live near Interstate 890 so this is a convenient location at which to get gas. Easy to pull out & into the parking lot. Will accept cash/give cash discount. I return all my aluminum cans for money so I can do that at nearby Hannaford then get some gasoline here at a discount. Good for beer & Pepsi & windshield washer fluid & lottery & e-cigarette purchases. I think they sell bags of ice too. The lady & her family who run it I believe are Middle Eastern. They are extremely nice & welcoming to everyone. They are genuine. They're sweet & the diverse customer base who comes in is always friendly to them & vice versa. This is a safe gasoline ⛽ station ? on Hamburg Street. I recommend it if going to Altamont Ave businesses.”
“I have always loved coming here. The staff is really nice and friendly, and they are helpful as well. I used to love coming here for coffee every morning, but unfortunately, I moved further away. I will always remember the little gas station you used to be before you expanded. I will miss you guys, and I highly recommend this place to anyone.”
“Great experience at this convenience store, this is the only store i go to! Great customer service and they'll always accommodate in any way possible I definitely recommend visiting this store!”
“Always have a very pleasant visit to the 300 store, the store partners are VERY friendly, they have no problems checking for a product in the back or any help I need. I will always be a customer of this store!!! Kudos to Stewarts for a great store and congrats on the new shop!!!”
“I ordered turkey tails, jollof and chicken and savory plantains all of which were very tasty! I've never had savory plantains orcturkey tails before. I like spicy so the very personable owner gave me two types, a powder for the turkey tails and an oil based one for the jollof. If I ever want goat, I'll buy it here! I'm happy for a new, different addition for take out! I even had enough food for 2 meals. I'll be back to try other dishes!”

“Great and hospitable guys that are always hard at work. Very quick to offer their assistance and provide an easy going, cultured, and welcoming experience. P.S. Better prices than the other nearby stores.”
“Nice store. Very friendly employees. Maple French Toast Coffee the best! I am also glad an exit (from parking lot) is at a traffic light as Union Street is -always- busy (lol).”
“Unfortunately corporate has reduced staffing . Corporate needs to try out in person what the staff is going through. This applies to all the stores. I shop daily.”
“They open 24/7 their prices, not bad at all, you gonna find them a little bit cheaper than other gas station in the area station in the area they accept all kind of credit card, even credit card with three words that most gas station in the areas doesn’t take no more like American Express and Discover it and chase credit cards with gas station rewards and mostly use those cards at this gas station, give it 8 out of 10. thanks ☺️♥️”
“I stop at the Stewart’s Shops on Balltown Road in Niskayuna all the time for coffee, food, and gas and it’s always a great experience. The staff is friendly, the store is clean, and Stewart’s coffee never disappoints. It’s a super convenient spot whether you're heading to work or just passing through the Niskayuna area. As the owner of J Smitty Automotive – Auto Body & Collision of Schenectady, I’m constantly driving between Schenectady and Niskayuna helping customers with auto body repair, collision repair, and insurance claim repairs. This Stewart’s location is one of my regular stops before heading back to the shop to work on vehicles and help people get their cars looking like new again with high quality repairs completed according to manufacturer guidelines. If you're in Niskayuna and need a quick stop for gas, coffee, or a bite to eat, this Stewart’s is always fast, friendly, and reliable. Definitely one of the most convenient spots along Balltown Road!”
