    Friendly staff, everything was clean. Plenty of seating to accommodate a break from the grind of the Thruway.

    Small restrooms, very slow service at Burger King & Starbucks, very few tables, crowded. For a newly renovated rest area, disappointing.

    So they tore down the old facility and erected this brand new one, the only issue, and reason for the 2 stars, is there are a total of (maybe) up to 25 seating positions available to sit down and eat your food. This is the NY State Thruway, not an average rest stop on the edge of the road. This place is now about 4 times smaller than the old building. If you stop here, i would only plan on using it to releave yourself and don't bother trying to buy food here, unless you like eating in your car 🤮 Seriously, you're better off skipping this reset stop and travelling 30 min south to the New Baltimore rest stop! Max of 25 seating positions!! I hope you like getting cozy with the general public when you're eating your fast food.

    Updated 5 star review. Things were looking very glim for the American traveler and the van life folks in this part of the highway. I remember, dark, unstaffed buildings at 3am, with cold, damp bathrooms. Gross. It was gross and even as a man, I didn't feel 100% safe, all alone, out in the middle of the highway, pooping on a cold ass toilet. Gross. Ew. But Apple Green has saved this part of the highway in regards to Travel Culture and BEING THERE for us roadsters. Thank you Apple Green for saving American rest stops in this beautiful part of the nation.
