This EnRoute isn't all that exciting. Tim Hortons, Subway and A&W at inflated prices…read more Subway closes at 7pm during the week and also doesn't support the rewards program. I managed to get here before closing once and the sub was pretty good. Friendly staff and well made. Tim Hortons is standard and I'm not sure if they do TimRewards. A&W seemed very pricey so I skipped it. Washrooms were clean when I was there. Not the best EnRoute, but not the worst I suppose!

This is the second last Onroute service stop before Toronto along Highway 401 from points east…read more (The last stop is Onroute Newcastle.) It has washrooms, food options (Tim Hortons, A&W, Popeyes and Onmarket (a convenience store that sells prepackaged foods, among other items, including gift cards, you know, last minute gift for those you are visiting? Lol)), a CIBC ATM, and of course, gas (Canadian Tire brand). There used to be a Pizza Pizza here, but it's now a Popeye's Chicken. So don't expect any pizza at this location, lol. It's similar to other Onroute locations. I actually miss the days when the service stops were all a little different, but ever since they were branded Onroute, they are all cookie cutter like. I personally like it when locations have their own personality, like subway stations in Toronto and Montreal, they are all different. LRT stations in Ottawa are all the same, boring! Onroutes are mostly all the same too, boring!

If travelling Westbound from Ottawa to Toronto, this ONroute is the rest stop that is the mid-point…read morebetween the 2 cities. It's just outside of Kingston, ON. Its Eastbound counterpart is called ONroute Odessa, although they are both technically in Odessa. Now call me an old curmudgeon, but I liked the old rest stops along Highway 401 before they all became cookie-cutter ONroutes in 2010. Sure, they were dated since they were built in the 1960s but they had some charm and were all a bit different. Now all the ONroutes between Ottawa and Toronto look and feel exactly the same, except for the one in Newcastle, which was spared the assimilation, since it had some renovations in the 1990s and society would say that it looked less outdated (the gas station there is even still an Esso and not Canadian Tire Gas, like all the rest). The newer ONroutes have no charm or character in my opinion. If you didn't see the name, you wouldn't know which one you're in. They are all essentially the same now, which I think is a pity. This ONroute has a Tim Hortons (like they all do), Popeyes, Burger King and ONmarket (that sells Freshii to go). No New York Fries nor A&W at this one. There's a CIBC ATM. The gas station is...you guessed it...Canadian Tire! It serves its function and maybe I'm being overly harsh, I just like it when things are a bit different from others of their kind and have their own personality so to speak. However, I guess having things uniform is cheaper and maybe more efficient to run.

The eastbound Napanee ONroute is very much like the others dotted around the 401. On busy days, the…read morelong lineups at the restaurants can take up a pretty substantial portion of your time. This particular location added a feature that made the experience much more aggravating. Instead of ordering at the cash register, we're supposed to use the virtual booths located in the middle of the rest stop instead. This poses several problems for me: 1. This is horribly inefficient; since people won't get to view the menu beforehand, they'll take a far longer time making their order. 2. All the touching and lack of properly cleaning the screen makes ordering food unsanitary. 3. One of the booths was down, so that further bottlenecked the wait time. In addition to this, the Napanee location was dirtier relative to its sister locations; maintenance seems to be lacking. I didn't have a good time resting here. Just abolish the ordering booths and I'll be a bit happier.

Tim Hortons, Starbucks, Wendy's & market are at this OnRoute location. I had a roast beef sandwich…read morefrom Tim Horton's & a thirst quencher. The sandwich was fine & they handled my modifications well. Hubby ordered a peach thirst quencher for me after had the sandwich & it tasted horrible! Hubby tasted it & he said they didn't mix it. He drank half of it & then we ended up tossing it. I hate to waste any food but I just couldn't drink it. Other than that the rest-stop eating area was clean. The washrooms are clean as well. No healthy options here, just fast food. It's too bad they didn't at least have a healthy option like booster juice. I know there's salads at some of these fast food places but they're not my definition of healthy. More like they are the healthiest option that a fast food joint can have. The bar is set low. lol. Anyway plenty of parking here for cars, tour buses & truckers too. Not a place I'd normally visit but it fulfills its function.

Another local attraction is the abundance of cobblestone houses. The Cobblestone House Museum is just down the road from this location. About the rest area - it has no facilities.

Grateful to have these rest stops along the highway, for the much needed stretch of the legs,…read morebathroom breaks, and coffee refills. This location like so many others, is very, very busy. The one odd thing about this location is that there is a Starbucks inside as well as a stand alone outside. But the outside one is literally drive through or take out only; there is no seating inside whatsoever. In fact, you cannot go in here! We didn't try the outside location. You know what? For safety's sake it's better inside to see all the people and be seen, than to sulk around the outside. It was spooky to me! We've taken advantage of this location a few times, and likely will again.

This OnRoute has a small market (drinks, chips, other snacks), a Tim Horton's, Booster Juice,…read moreBurger King, Popeyes, & Starbucks. At lease there is one healthy option here! The rest is fast food. I will say this though the eating area is clean & the washrooms are clean as well. It looks pretty new so there's nothing old that needs renovation. It's a well maintained place. That's basically all you could want for a highway rest-stop.

I stopped off here because it was the last one for quite a few KMs away to the next on route. As…read moremany know there are usually different chains with each stop. This one had a Burger King in it and the service was quick and the taste was okay. The restrooms were clean and there was no line to wait in. There is no wow factor it's just what it is. It's a perfect quick stop to refuel the car and even your stomach.

This Onroute is about half way from Toronto to Montreal so basically in the middle of nowhere…read more Don't get me wrong, I realize these stops are essential to motorists and do their job letting you fill up with gas, or charge your EV, but the inside is generally at best depressing and at worst disgusting. Just the smell that hits you as you walk in, a combination of rarely cleaned (for the traffic) washrooms with open concept doorways, either it needs-to-be-cleaned smell or just-cleaned-and-smells-like-pine-sol and pre-fab greasy fast-food fryers poorly vented to the outside, is often enough to make me wanna skip going in. Even regular gas stations are not quite as nauseating as these stops and that's saying a lot. Just hope you stop in on a less busy day, or after some kind of regular maintenance has been done. Get me outta Ontario and into Quebec, stat!

This Husky has what you expect, which is a gas station. I was pleasantly surprised that it has its own diner. Had I known, I would have eaten here instead of at the rest stop! I didn't have a problem finding a free pump. I paid at the pump and also used my Husky rewards card to collect points. The diner looks pretty big from the outside. There were many semi-trailers and a few cars parked around it. I am guessing that the food is pretty good if it's got a good turnout at around 3 pm. The gas station was clean. I was both thankful and happy that I found this Husky. I left with a full tank of gas that got me to Markham just fine. I had enough gas to returning it to the rental place, so I was ecstatic! (255)
