You won't go hungry as a vegan or vegetarian here. I opted for BK's veggie burger, no cheese, extra pickle!

Been here plenty of times and it's an okay place to stop. Some fast food choices make it a decent rest-stop for a long trip. Plenty of seating although not very comfortable or super clean

You can actually get here without taking the Turnpike. I'm not sure why you'd want to do that, but it is possible.

The recent renovations were much needed and have been a huge improvement overall. Much, much cleaner these days. Can finally enter thru side doors!

Always glad to stop at this place. Lots of food options, large restroom, space to walk the dog. Everything is very well-kept.

Food was all right but gas station got me for the extra money playing a game that I said fillet up when I talk to service attendant $30 and he repeated back the price to me $30 and then he try's fill

Surely the Gentleman's Room ineffective hand dryers are provided with power by Edison's inferior Direct Current!

Good luck getting any decent food during lunch time. Lines at Chick-Fil-A out the wazoor and you CANT order ahead

Don't go to Z Market for Water. APlus on the other corner has much larger sizes and for cheaper prices. Or fill your bottles for free from water fountain next to restroom.

So busy - one rest stop south was much less busy - next time drive the extra 12 miles & save time
Bryan CorbittJuly 15, 2019
This has been remodeled and now includes a chil filet which is closed on Sundays

Very convenient. Easy in & out - with a quick gas stop. Just don't order your coffee from Sarah. I hate you Sarah.
Barbi SNovember 12, 2014
Still full service station with low prices. Wow. Thanks. Very nice gentlemen working today.

The Nathans here is a sham. It's just one sad bucket of hot dogs next to the Sbarros. No crinkle cut fries!
David HandJune 30, 2013
Wait until the next rest area to get gas if you can. This is full of NYC residents filling their tanks since it is a cheaper here. Long lines. The prices are the same at all the rest areas.

Nice and clean! I usually stop here for Starbucks and fuel 👌🏽😍
AllisonSeptember 27, 2015
Starbucks and fast food, just like any other rest stop. Oh, and the pope was there
Christopher McAteeJune 4, 2013
very clean and not too crowded on a Tuesday evening.
Robin McLeanNovember 8, 2013
Building under renovation. Port-a-John trailer looks attractive but still has odor & is makeshift.
Amy CummingsJuly 30, 2017
Lots of options but the lines tend to be long.
Rebecca HainsMay 24, 2013
There are a few nice vegetarian options here, like a pear and Brie sandwich, or a veggie Cobb salad.
Eric AndersenDecember 26, 2012
This is an excellent spot to idle.
Tara A.August 31, 2013
THEY HAVE A DIPPIN DOTS VENDING MACHINE!!!!! (Entrance near BQ). GET ON IT!
Scott BAugust 10, 2014
They have a Starbucks here but you probably won't wait in the 2 hour line
Sara 🌈⚔🍾February 9, 2015
Basic rest stop. They have Popeyes, Starbucks, Nathan's, and some pizza.
Brett HarrisJuly 20, 2012
There's a lot of poop on the floors... Aside from that, really fun!!!
Preston WolfeNovember 30, 2012
Do not forget to get your Starbucks today :-)
JasonMarch 31, 2015
The restrooms are clean and the gas is cheap
Rocco G. NazzaroOctober 30, 2015
Had dogs and fries at Nathons. Everything was burned
Quentin BurgessDecember 18, 2022
Nice new renovation!
Chris MillerAugust 20, 2014
Skip this plaza if you can. It's the first one and EVERYONE stops here! Holy crap!
Urgo UrgoDecember 28, 2012
Ezpass listed as being on sale via roadsign but market store tried to sell it for $31 when the package said it was $25.

Prepare to wait a long time for gas.. Only good for emergencies!
Matt KitchinMay 23, 2013
Cannot remember the last time somebody pumped gas for me... Can't for the life of me understand why I want somebody to! Took twice as long as going it myself.
Jason KonenSeptember 9, 2014
Nice and clean but a bit expensive.
Jay VOctober 9, 2011
The food is overpriced, like all Turnpike rest stops. Just use the lavatory and wait till you get off the Turnpike for your meal.
KerryNovember 16, 2013
Don't expect them to make a good drink at Starbucks. One of the worst I've ever had.
Anthony CSeptember 28, 2013
Stay out of jersey. There is no logic to the existence of this state. Oh yeah, your governer is an asshole too.
LisaNovember 17, 2013
Under construction, beware of the Porta-Potty Truck!
Michael Dylan FerraraDecember 1, 2016
For a rest stop, this one is pretty nice!
Cee DubblesDecember 13, 2012
Avoid early weekend mornings in summer
Mary McCabeSeptember 25, 2014
Starbucks is great here
Lloyd MolloyMay 21, 2013
Why should any of the eateries have food around dinner time...
Paul Sunghan KimJuly 23, 2022
Better place to rest and eat
