“Delicious fresh bakery items in-house every Sunday. Cold beer, soda, and ice available. Always welcomed by a warm smile. Other reviews complain about there being no public restrooms, but no worries! The gas station (owned by the same family) in the same parking lot has clean restrooms for paying customers. I love family businesses and this is one of my favorites to support! GO MIDTOWN.”

“Absolutely outstanding! From the moment we walked in, everything was fantastic. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was wonderful. You can tell there is so much care and quality put into everything they serve. The deli is such an amazing bonus, with so many delicious options, and I have to give a special shoutout to the cheesecake which is absolutely phenomenal! It was easily some of the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. This is one of those places you leave already thinking about when you can come back. Whether you’re stopping in for a great meal, grabbing something from the deli, having one of their famous Friday or Saturday dinners, or treating yourself to dessert, you truly can’t go wrong. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Nice little store and prices are average. The place was VERY quiet. The store clerk was friendly and had a great selection of snacks which was a bit more expensive than normal.”

“Pulled into this rural NY gas station/convenience store thinking it was gonna be a quick, normal stop. Gas, maybe a drink, in and out. That’s how it starts. That’s how they get you. We walk in and it’s immediately clear… we are the only customers in this dimension. No background noise. No chatter. Just the hum of a fridge that sounds like it’s thinking about quitting. And there he is. The clerk. Leaning back in his chair like he’s been there since the founding of the United States. Not asleep. Not fully awake. Somewhere spiritually in between. I genuinely couldn’t tell if we were supposed to check out with him or just leave money on the counter like an offering. We make eye contact for half a second and I swear he gave me the universal “I’ve seen things” look, then went right back to his reclined state like nothing had ever happened. The store itself? Weirdly normal. Almost offensively normal. Like it’s trying to distract you from the fact that time is behaving differently inside. We grab what we need, trying not to break the silence too aggressively. Every movement feels like it echoes a little too long. Check out is fast. Too fast. Like the transaction was already pre-approved by fate. We leave. No words exchanged. No emotional closure. Just vibes. Would I go back? Yeah. Not because I want to… but because I feel like I left without fully understanding the lore.”

“I've been coming to this particular gas station/ convenience store at least 3-4 times a week since the last millennium. The name has changed several times, as well as the owners but it has always been your basic higher priced, just off the interstate, little country store WITH AN ATTITUDE ( C'mon, you know the one I mean. The locals vs out of staters ) until recently. Over the past few months,I've noticed a really nice change. The cashiers are friendly, polite, smiling, it's an absolutely incredibly small thing and yet what a wonderful change to actually watch take place.”

“They always have great sales. The buy one get two free sales are the best! There is however one staff member in this particular store who is always very rude and not helpful. The other stuff are always courteous”

“The best breakfast sandwiches! This store is right around the corner from my house and these people are great! Very friendly! And they have a little bit of everything. Very convenient and worth paying a little extra so that it doesn't go to some garbage corporation like Dollar General. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS!”

“I stopped at this Mirabito to refill my small 1 gallon gas tank which I use to refill my lawnmower. Unfortunately, after filling my tank, when I went to pick it up, I was shocked to see that it was leaking all over. I ran into the store to see if they sold gas cans. The clerk was extremely helpful. We quickly did the transaction for the new gas tank, and she then came outside with me to assist in the transfer from the defective gas can. She sprinkled a product to absorb the spilled gasoline, disposed of the old tank and gasoline covered towels, and immediately removed it all from the area. She had calmly transformed a dangerous situation into one that was safe and under control due to her quick reactions. Kudos to this great employee!”
