They have a ton of different options so you're bound to find one you like. They also have some good options for soups and hot items for lunch, like meatballs or macaroni and cheese. The best part is the ice cream, though. They have a lot of flavors, but my favorite is the chocolate chip cookie dough. Gas prices are usually comparable to others nearby. Stop in and grab some snacks and coffee next time you drive by!

Stewart's Shops was exactly what I needed when I pulled in. I had been driving from New Jersey, and…read morewalking into this place felt like a warm hug. The way they serve the food and set up the store makes it very welcoming for someone who's been on the road for a while. They had nice refreshments, specialty cookies, little sandwiches, and plenty of options to grab a quick bite or a snack. It wasn't fancy, but it was comfortable, kind, and exactly the right vibe for a road stop. For being "just what I needed" at the right time, I'm giving Stewart's Shops 5 stars.

Expectations not super high…read more Clean, lots of things to buy, reminds me of a combination AM/PM and 7-Eleven mash-up but granted I was visiting from Los Angeles and had never been to Fastrac before. We loaded up with snacks and drinks for a roadtrip back to the city and everything was as you would expect. Not only were the cashiers super friendly but one guy working the coffee machines let me have my coffee for free because "the red light is on, the coffee is passed it prime" lol that still tickles me thinking back on it. And to top it off, the coffee was fine! Would definitely come back next time we're in Utica.

I ordered a breakfast sandwich: Sausage, egg, and cheese on an English muffin, plus an iced triple shot latte - half whole milk, half skim. DD's breakfast sandwiches are a lot less greasy than the McDonald's equivalent. Sandwich was hot and tasty and came up fairly quickly. Iced latte was strong and hit the spot. Staff was friendly and service was prompt! Potentially a good place for a pitstop if you are passing through the area on the NY Thruway (I-90) or visiting Turning Stone Casino.

A good friend turned me on to this wonderful Amish Market and she did not steer me wrong. This is…read moremore like a variety store where you can buy everything from a shed to homemade bread. Was fun wandering the aisles and seeing all the goodies. Being the candy fiend I am and in my constant quest for a watermelon retro candy I spent a good amount of time down that aisle even though I came up empty handed there were a number of old classics to be had like teaberry and clove gum along with razzles. Loved all the baked goods that are homemade and left with a loaf of English Muffin Bread that I have not seen in years. Store is clean, bright, with wide aisles. Wish items were organized differently for ease in finding items but staff were warm, friendly, and directed me straight to the popcorn salt that I was looking for. Fun time and am looking forward to going back and looking for long lost goodies of days gone by. They have a large deli as well so this would be a great stop if you are headed out for a picnic. Truly a great gem with a large variety of items.

The good things about this Tops: very clean, well run, well staffed with few if any lines at checkout. The pharmacy is also very prompt, and the staff are friendly. They have nice bakery, produce, and meat sections. I believe it's open until midnight everyday. All in all, makes for a pleasant grocery shopping experience.

Utica's one hope for salvation seems to lie in its inexplicable appeal to Asian immigrants. I…read morepicked up a business card for Lucky Mey's at an acceptable, if unremarkable, Thai-inspired asian restaurant where my husband and I had dinner the night before. Lucky Mey's claim to be Utica's Best Asian grocery store is definitely warranted - in fact, I don't think it would be immodest for them to claim to be CNY's best grocery store, not that the competition is stiff. At any rate, this is a lovely store and should I ever have the misfortune to find myself living in Utica (not an impossibility since I just escaped a similarly dreary place in northern most reaches of NY state), I would patronize it frequently. Especially since the proprietor was incredibly friendly and impressed by my rather prosaic purchases of palm sugar, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, thai basil, and an assortment of noodles - inquiring if I had visited Thailand and if not how I knew so much about Thai food. Given her friendliness and excellent English, were I to live in Utica, I would ask her how to prepare all the unfamiliar but delicious-looking greens that the store stocked. In addition to produce, the store has a large and well-priced selection of packaged goods, a huge freezer section that I didn't have a chance to explore, and a big styrofoam cooler filled with live eels.
