This is about as good as you are going to get with a highway rest stop. Clean, a nice variety of food options and decent gas prices.

Lottery machine ran out of paper. Store manager was unable to issue refund and replace paper roll inside lottery machine. Refused to give supervisor contact info, refused to provide proof they have my money. Manager on duty was more concerned about making pretzels than the issue at hand. 0 stars if I could. read more

Fairly decent rest stop. They had the always present Starbucks, Popeyes, auntie ems pretzels, Burger King, and a Panera bread. Service at all seem to be quick. They had a vending machine where you could buy an easy pass, and kiosks at both entries to sell you lottery tickets. read more

The bathrooms are always clean here, although they're always doing some form of construction so sometimes there is coffee. Sometimes there is not. It's kind of frustrating. I drive through often enough that it's kind of getting a bit annoying how long some of the renovations are taking. read more

Well I had to wait like 5 min for the guy to surface so I could place my order. He had to make more pasta. But after the service snafu the food was good!! Marinara nice and the meatball very good. Just needed to get a knife to cut it. And they used bow tie pasta. Bf had Popeyes. Also good. Nice quote plaza. read more

Middle Ridge Service Plaza - Meatball(1) Connection. Yummy $5 - Gas Stations Near Me - Amherst, Ohio

I've actually been to this place various times but Yelp likes secretly deleting my reviews. Any way this place is a great rest stop on your way towards Indiana. It exactly mirrors the one across the street so don't expect anything too different. Always plenty of parking throughout the day. Never too many people here either. Food court has decent options. The marketplace is grossly overpriced but they definitely have clean bathrooms. read more

All of the service plaza's in Ohio are pretty clean and updated however this one is one of the better maintained ones. They have all the necessities while on a road trip....food, drink, gas, and restrooms. Even at night everything is well lit and you feel safe walking around. read more

Middle Ridge Service Plaza is big, as in really spacious. It's also clean and has rather good selection of fast food operations from which to choose like a Popeye, Burger King and Meatball Obsession amongst about 4 others. The restroom facilities are also spacious, clean and without any foul smells. There is also plenty of available parking surrounding the place so no problem with crowded spaces or people swinging their doors open and banging your car. For a service plaza its heads and tails above the average service plazas found in most states, so 4 Stars. read more

Stopped in here one evening for a Bio Break and caffeine! Restrooms were clean. Good place to stretch the legs, check your e-mail, and chill for a few. Lots of food options here as well. I only hit the Starbucks for some espresso to keep me awake on the drive to Toledo! #MiddleRidgeServicePlaza read more

Clean and well maintained rest stop that offers food, snacks, etc. Easy off and on from freeway.

We love this service plaza! They have plenty of RV parking, as well as RV dump, potable water, and 24 hrs of electric hookup for $20. A great place to stop for the night. Restrooms inside are clean, a few restaurants available. Just don't buy gas here because it's super pricey! read more

After a lengthy drive, I needed to get out and stretch my legs a bit before rolling into Cleveland. I spotted this from the road and decided to stop in and check it out since it looked so pretty from the outside. Remarkably, this place is super nice for a "rest stop." Clean, well lit, with a beautiful interior. I strolled in here and loved what I saw. The entrance is clean clean clean! There's a gift shop, rest rooms, some vending machines and most importantly, good food! (for a rest stop!) There's a wonderful food court with a Burger King, Panera, Starbucks and a few other places in here as well. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. I cruised the gift shop to see what they had and checked out a few of the Kiosks as well. I found out that Panera has free wifi, so I dragged my computer in and sat down for a few minutes to take a brake from driving. Grabbed a bagel and hung out for a minute and really enjoyed my time here. If you're driving down the 90, stop in here for a quick break. They also have a gas station as well on the property. What a pleasant surprise to find this place and what great shape its in! read more

This is a cool rest stop with a bit of something for everyone. Starbucks is stationed here for those over exhausted from a long drive. If looking for souvenirs to take home from Ohio, they have some of the cutest souvenirs such as stuffed animals, T-shirts etc. Some other fun places available for eating/drinking are Popeyes, Aunt Annies, and Panera bread. There's a retro video game for extra fun. I can't forget to mention the lottery machine for a chance to win riches. Also, if you need a break, there is plenty of seating available for dining. Lastly male and female restrooms are available. There a no gender neutral restrooms. Just steps away from the rest stop is a gas station with reasonable prices. Enjoy! read more

bathrooms here could be cleaner and I watched a cleaning lady use a towel to wipe trash cans and then use the same towel to "clean tables" disgusting. read more

The Middle Ridge Service Plaza had clean rest rooms and plenty of parking. The plaza offered a variety of fast food restaurants (Burger King, Hershey's Ice Cream., Starbucks, Popeye's Chicken, Manchu Wok and Panera). There's a PNC ATM and a Sunoco gas station / convenience store. There's also a community room for rent. All in all, a decent place to stretch your legs while traversing the Ohio Turnpike. read more

Clean and well maintained. Nice variety of vending machines near the restrooms. There is a store and some restaurants inside but I passed through late so they were closed. read more

Near I-90 mile marker 140 - Stop here for fuel - the next plaza is temporarily out while they undergo renovations. Panera Bread offers wi-fi, the attendants always keep this facility sparkling clean. Don't hesitate to stop here whenever traveling westbound along the Ohio Turnpike. read more

The rest area in Ohio put Illinois to shame. This one is no exception. Clean. Well lit. Has a Panera no less, but thats not open 24 hours. Overall, easy well lit parking lot. Nice restrooms. Easy on and off the highway. read more

This rest stop has a good court to include a Hardees, Burger King, Panera Bread, Manchester Wok, Starbucks and a Popeyes. At Popeyes you have to pay extra for a drink with combo, which I found to be annoying and unusual for most other Popeyes. Middle Ridge Service Plaza also has a Gift shop, a game room and a small store with snacks and drinks. The bathrooms were pretty decent and big with lots of stalls. I appreciated all the food options! read more

really short and sweet on this one. clean bathrooms/building great selection of food/drinks/snacks great wifi very easy to get off and onto the turnpike. would definitely swing by again! read more

This is one of the nicest and cleanest road-side service plazas I have ever visited. The people are friendly, it was exceptionally clean, and the vendors were exactly what we wanted to see. Especially Panera and Starbucks. read more

Custodian cleaned the outside of my bathroom stall while I was in it. Awkward.

I was at the Burger King this afternoon and I just wanted a number one which is a Whopper with cheese large fry and the cashier tells me that there's no lettuce and never have I ever known of a Burger King that out of lettuce, they might as well just run out of burger patties as well read more

This place done food good. It is good in all ways, and the food has the three keys to success, or the three Ts of reviewing as I call them. TASTE TEXTURE TUMMY FEEL I stopped and went to Panera after a short tinkle break, and I'd say it was pretty gnar. Here are my ratings: Taste: Bathroom didn't taste very good, but that is expected. Toilet bowl tastes better than soap. The floor also tasted pretty good because it seems to be cleaned often. Now, Starbucks was a success with the taste, and I'd give this whole compound a solid 7 out of 10. Texture: Now this is peculiar because it seems the texture of the porcelain thrown is above average than most rest stops. The beautifully crafted curves of the mighty bowl left me in awe. This feeling did not leave me as I walked out of the stalls and made my way to the gift shop. The supreme bevels and artistic craft of the signs and floors is beyond me. I'd give it a good ol' 7 as well. TUMMY FEEL: Now, as you know this is the most important of them all. After licking the toilet I was left with a sense of tingling on my tongue and tummy, but that is expected. The Starbucks and panera were solid in this factor so I would have to give it a big huge 8. Overall, this rest area made me feel the opposite of what most rest areas do for me. As I travelled into the halls I felt as though I had taken a journey to the grand architecture of the Taj Mahal and I have to say, I would do it again. Thank you read more

I'm talking about a Service Plaza going westbound around mile marker 139 on the Ohio Turnpike. The Ohio Turnpike AKA the "James W. Shocknessy Ohio Turnpike" is a 241 mile-long, limited-access toll highway in the U.S. state of Ohio, serving as a primary corridor to Chicago and Pittsburgh. I travel this road frequently, day and night, and I am very grateful that Ohio has used its resources to build these exceptional top notch service plazas across the extent of the highway. Overall there are fourteen of these, seven westbound and seven eastbound. This one like many is new, modernly constructed, very clean and comfortable with great amenities. Some of the services and amenities here are: a Sonoco Service station 24/7; a Starbucks (can't beat that); a Popeye's; a Burger King; a Great Steak and Potato; a Hershey's Ice Cream; a Panera Bread; a Manchu Wok; a Truckers Lounge with couches, tables, separate restrooms and showers (pretty special); a gift shop; and ta da... very large and clean public restrooms. Few highway rest stops I have been at can beat what Ohio is providing. Thanks Ohio. We can all know that great service is always just a little ways up the road on the Ohio Turnpike. read more

As a trucker team, my husband and I don't park here overnight much anymore since we are always on the go. When we do we take advantage of the free showers that are clean and very quiet, especially late at night. Haven't done laundry here so not sure the quality of there units. Lounge area is alright, couple tv's and fair amount of seating. Truckers area is away from the food court which is nice, don't have to deal with the flow of passenger vehicle folks if you're looking to just hang out a bit in a quiet portion of the plaza. Fuel prices are usually pretty good especially if you're heading west out of PA, we all know it's not too cheap that was, especially for us O/O's. Food is fine. Burger King, Panera Bread, Starbucks, Chinese cuisine, Popeyes and I believe a Hershey's ice cream as well. Plenty of parking here too, tonight is pretty quiet on the east bound side, west bound is slammed right now. A good place to shut down, do your 10 hour or even your 34 hour reset if you need to. For passenger vehicle folks, a good place to stop, have a small variety of food/drink to choose from, also a lot of parking for cars. Drive safe everyone :) read more

Wouldn't you think that a service plaza would have some kind of WIFI for guests? Not this one! Starbucks and Panera both had low strength but sitting in the Food Court area was impossible to get enough signal strength to be able to pull up Map apps (which one might want to consult at a service plaza). The Burger King got the order wrong, Panera food (grilled cheese) was gross and neither of the two employees working at Auntie Anne's even acknowledged me standing AT the register waiting to place an order. One of the women looked at me- walked away from the register -went to get gloves on and then looked at me and proceeded to stare into the kitchen. They had plenty of pretzels, cinnapretzels, nuggets and other items ready to choose just apparently no interest in selling any of them @ $7.50 per pretzel. I am guessing these employees are NOT service plaza employees, but if I were running that service plaza, I would want to know how their customers are being treated. read more

Other than providing food and restrooms. That's all the plaza had to offer. No cell reception,no wifi, literally took five minutes for our credit card to go through. Slow service from the workers. I could be cause it was the day before New Year's Eve. I guess I would also be slow moving if I had to work during the holidays while helping unsatisfied customers like myself. read more

There are a lot of these service rest stop areas on the way to Cleveland. I wish they had more of these on the way to Cincinnati. They are really nice and convenient for you to stop, use the washroom, eat, and fill up your tank all at one location. They usually have several restaurant options for you to choose from as well as little gift shops too. I got some Panera while I was here. read more

Great service plaza in Ohio. Very clean and it had a bunch of different food options. This is really one of the best oasis/service plazas I have been too. read more

Extremely nice plaza, but I give the Starbucks 1 star. The girl working the counter couldn't name one sandwich they had and asked her coworkers for help, which is fine. They were annoyed that I asked which sandwiches they had but there were no labels or signs specifying. I was super nice about it, partly because I felt bad for the girl because she didn't even know how to work the register. Maybe she was new and they were busy, but they handed me a FROZEN EGG WRAP. I may be partly venting right now, but seriously? You can't even toss it in the microwave? I think because they know customers will come here because it's on the turnpike, they didn't care about who they hired. read more

Big parking lot compared to other service stations in the area. Burger King, Starbucks, Panera Bread and PNC bank. The bathroom sinks were kind of messy. read more

This rest stop was the cleanest one that I stopped in between Maryland and Michigan. There were plenty of stores inside and the restrooms were very clean. It wasn't terribly busy when I showed up, which was suprising, as it was right about lunch time. My family and I stopped at the starbucks, which only had three people working it, but since the whole place wasn't very busy it didn't seem to be a problem. I would imagine that this rest stop could get hectic on days other than national holidays, but my visit was good. read more

Great for road weary RVers. $20 for 1 night with electric. There is a dump station as you exit the RV area. You can also fill up your fresh water at the potable water station. Dumpsters by the fuel pumps. Clean, well lit and safe. read more

I did not sample any of the food offerings, but it was a pleasant and clean place. I did use the restroom and it was very clean. I use the handicap stall and it was clean and well stocked. Very nice service area read more
