This is an excellent gas station right in the heart of downtown Syracuse, which I like to use because it's usually not too busy - even though they don't have many pumps. But it also often has cheaper gas than the whole of the downtown area, so It's a place where I will always stop and get gas if I'm not sure where the cheap stuff is. They almost never have expensive prices here compared to others in the area. I give them massive credit for that. While you are getting gas here please consider going over to Strong Hearts and getting yourself an incomparable Cesar Chavez milkshake. It's one of the best you'll ever have. Try a blueberry cupcake while you're there as well. Now I'll let you get on with your day. Remember, the Speedway is not the way.

There are so many different items that I'm sure no matter what diet you are adhering to (vegan, keto, etc) you can find something you'd love.

I go weekly for their selection of eggs, yogurt, butter and coffee. They also just remodeled the interior and there is more room, plus a decent selection of craft beers that you won't find anywhere else in the area. They also have fresh made take out sandwiches, salads and snack packs. I love their dill tuna and waldorf chicken salads.

Harrison bakery fresh rolls holding more meat and cheese than I've ever seen on a sub sandwich. The meat and cheese was sliced fresh and then I got lettuce, tomatoes and onions, thinly sliced on the slicer. I chose not to get any condiments... knowing this would take me a few days to finish and I didn't want it soggy. There aren't really set subs listed...he just asks what you want. I asked what he could put on an Italian sub and I got ham, salami and pepperoni. Everything was fresh and delicious and I could only eat about 1/4 of my sandwich. The BEST!

I don't live in this area, and it never would have occurred to me to enter this store had I not had…read moretheir subs specifically recommended to me. It looks just like any other corner store. They have a little deli counter in the corner without any menu or selections displayed. Just a list of available deli meats and cheeses. I thought maybe with the way people seem to like this place, there would be more to it but the place couldn't have been more straightforward. I don't know why that caught me off guard. The guy just looked up and asked for my order and I fumbled for a second. Oh right, yeah I guess I'm getting... some subs. There was a language barrier, so I pretty much just took it into my own hands to list everything I wanted on the subs based on what I saw on the menu. They don't really have any pre-builds, so when I constructed the Italian sub through my order, they tripled up the meat. That time we had one regular turkey sub, and one absolutely packed sub with full portions of salami, pepperoni and capicola. I don't even know if they charged extra for the actual heap of meat they gave me, because they still came out to less than $10.00 a piece. They also have Jamaican style beef patties/empanadas. I don't know if they make them or if they're frozen, but around here they're not usually that different. I got mine in bread with lettuce and mayo on it like an empanada sandwich. The process was confusing because there was no feedback. When the guy asked me how I wanted it, he just shrugged and said "you can get it however you want. Everyone's got their own tastes." I tried to feel it out like do people usually order empanadas like a sandwich? "You're the customer, I'll make it however you order it!" A few more of those and I stopped asking. Whatever, put it on bread, let's sandwich this thing up. Anyway, the food is ridiculously inexpensive, and the subs are excellent quality. I don't really know the metrics for deli subs beyond hit or miss. It must be the meat they use, because the sub rolls were totally standard, and there was nothing special about how they were made. Even at the same pricing, I'd take these over Wegmans, DiBellas, Firehouse, Jersey Mike's, Jreck, any of the good deli subs I can remember getting in Syracuse. Don't overthink it, just come by and order a cold sub the way you want it. Great price, great quality, adequate service.

Owner of "Sam's on Wolf" Sam Deb said since he started serving up his unique New York City…read morebodega-style sandwiches like the chopped cheese and posting video's on TikTok, they've gone viral and customers have been flocking to his business from across the state. In addition to the Chopped Cheese, Deb serves handmade "Dubai Chocolate" with his special pistachio filling - another recent internet sensation. But it's the unique combination of salty and sweet sandwiches that Deb said customers can't get enough of, including their Oreo burger - a double patty cheeseburger with oreos and a top bun that has white chocolate and crushed Oreos on top. So for anyone who uses TikTok, this was clearly influenced by Ocky's bodega videos, but in my opinion, it was smart to do something like this here. I've seen the videos and as soon as I saw this place start popping up on CNY FB food groups, I knew I had to try it. When you walk in, it's been nicely remodeled inside. It's a basic convenience store for the most part, but there's a hot bar with several offerings, and if you look at the menu, you're not gonna see the crazy creations - you're gonna see normal offerings like chopped cheese, ribs, burgers, etc. Sam, the owner, is almost always there, even making a lot of the food himself, and told me whatever I saw online or that I could create in my head, they could make it for us. Very nice guy. My wife and I both got a chopped cheese, but I asked for mine on a Jamaican beef patty, while my wife asked for hers on a honey bun, and we both asked for mozzarella sticks in the middle. We also got a side of potato wedges. 2 sandwiches that came with fries (we didn't realize they came with fries or wouldn't have gotten wedges), side of wedges and 2 drinks came to about $40. We got home and dug in. Both were delicious. My wife is a huge sweet/salty fan, so she loved the sweet honey bun against the salty mozz sticks and beef, although the honey bun definitely had softened from the fillings. Wedges were great, fries were fine. Food fed both of us twice as well. This is NOT a place to get a healthy meal, but if you're down for something delicious, outta the box and really only limited to your convenience store imagination, definitely give them a try.

The Dubai chocolate bars are decorated differently but all the same ingredients... milk chocolate filled with pistachio and kataifi (crispy phylo dough shreds). It was delicious! It is expensive but worth treating myself occasionally.
