We generally stop here during most of our trips. Nice, clean, helpful, & friendly(pricey). There is one thing I would change. At both exits, there should be a STOP or warning saying; Did you enter here??? LOOK UP, is this your destination Route? Sometimes when tried or excited even sleepy you may or a family member or friend may use the wrong exit
Great place to parking, eat (a plenty of good options) and a friendly staff... also clean restrooms!
I frequently travel and this is always a stopping place for me to use the restroom. Its always relatively clean especially for such a high traffic rest stop. I have yet to get food from any of the locations inside so I am unsure of that experience.
Decent rest stop. The washrooms were clean, free wi-fi and McDonalds open 24/7. The McDonalds doesnt have much other than the basics though (went during odd hours).
Loved it. Efficiency at its finest. NY said why build one on each side, put it in the middle. Quick stop, mediocre coffee for your travels 4/5. Will be back.
Interesting place to go. McDonalds, and MOES, small souvenir shop, restroom facility. Has a pedestrian crossover bridge that goes over the highway
Very clever to have the plaza in the median, where both directions of the highway can access it. NY ought to do more of this.Very clean and well maintained.
Great selection of food venues and a nice gift shop. Bathrooms could be much cleaner, but are at-least very large.
Stopped for a bathroom break and Cinnabons. I cant say no to a cinnamon roll! Bathrooms were clean, service was friendly and if course the Cinnabons were the best.
Signage inside was confusing. We thought McDonalds was closed. Overall, clean, clean restrooms and an interesting bake shop type place in center court. The travel visitor side was closed.
Enclosed walkway from rest area parking goes over all lanes of I-90.
Love this place! Its a staple, even if we dont have to go or no ones hungry we always stop in to walk the bridge and stretch our legs! Lol
This rest area is shared between both the eastbound and westbound traffic on the New York Thruway. It is gained by a bridge linking both directions to a center location. This is either the first or last throughway stop on the west side of New York. Gas is available.
Our iced coffees taste like pure sugar place wasnt that clean gift shop that was inside was not very good did not have a lot of stuff
One of my favorite New York State Thruway rest stops! What a unique location, can you stop to stretch your legs and use the self-contained walkways (North and Southbound) that runs over the top of the Thruway to get to your restrooms and restaurants (and there are plenty to choose from here). If you have children they are going to love this place!
It was a really nice stop the prices of file wasnt bad lots of snacks and drinks just all in all good stop I must say it was wondeful
I had the most humiliating experience, a girl told me that if I wanted the Italian bread I had to grab it myself because the tray was hot, 2 minutes later a worker grabbed the flag without gloves, I told her why she didnt give me the Italian bread, she told me that she was hot and that she couldnt because she was a woman, then she grabbed my sandwich and threw it back and said have a nice day
Clean, lots of seating. Large bathrooms with multiple stalls and sinks. Quite a few different food places as well.
A pretty cool place to stop. Never had Moes before, enjoyed it. A little pricy but good.
This place is amazing the only thing Im going to have to say thats against it even if it was a five stars is that how expensive it was to eat there I understand New York is going to be expensive, at the same time $13 for a meal are you kidding
Nice stop to grab something to eat or gifts have multiple restaurants clean restrooms
Travel Plazas, Rest Areas are always exciting to stop by, especially in US. They are very relaxing after long drives. Have coffee, tea, snack or a meal, pick up travel magazines, get hotel and tourist information, use rest rooms. Angola The plaza is one such place. We always stop at this location. There are at least four Restaurants including McDonald, subway, a kiosk, gift shops. Good place for a quick stop and bathroom break. Huge parking lot, gas station.
Clean bathrooms and a few different options for road food. Add a tank of gas and youve got a fairly efficient pit stop.
I dont know why we like this place as much as we do, but we do. Always a stop when heading south and always a stop when coming home. Pretty grubby, kind of dirty, but it has a landmark type of appeal. Hit the head, grab a coffee or Cinnabon, get gas, the usual. The bridge is a neat twist.
Really nice, some good eating places inside and a friendly NY tour agent to help with things to see in the area, wineries Niagara etc.
Dirty, filthy, and all around not well maintained. Its a rest stop with high vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and therefore it should cared for in the same fashion. But its not. One of the more run down rest stops Ive seen in awhile.
Not welcoming to trans folk. The unisex restroom was locked, and the cleaning staff loudly complained after I walked past them into the womens room about who should be allowed in there.Also, McDonalds is the only store open past 7 pm.
Walking through the skyline I witnessed an argument between and employee and boss… screaming and shouting over the rehire of less than worthy employee (the opinion of the distraught employee ). Ruined my entire morning. Not something you want to wake up to. The lady at the McDonald’s over charged me . The lady at the coffee stand was rude and unfriendly. Everyone kept shouting with each other over the mornings gossip and you clearly heard it across the plaza. Never mind we the customers felt as we were completely ignored .
Nice rest stop even though getting to rest area is kind of a hike and leaving its not marked the best.
Weird policies. I apologize up front i kind of jumped off at the hostesses. They wouldnt seat us because our party of 4 wasnt here yet, only 3 of us. Restaurant was near empty! They said we would have to wait ✋ STANDING until entire party arrived. I said ok then there is only 3 of us. They informed us that if anyone else arrives after we were initially seated then they would NOT be allowed to sit with us at our table. What??? I got huffy and manager came over and addressed situation, seated us. And explained they were just following rules they had been taught. I felt bad for blowing up...but ludicrous policy when Restaurant was no where near capacity.Other than pilicy it was a great family experience
I went to Moes and I saw couple with a dog. As I am looking at the menu and I notice Moes employee petting the couple dog. Having full blown conversation and didnt notice me standing, which I was ready to order. The female worker finally notice and ask how can she help me?? Really? This female worker didnt even wash her hand before touching the food station. She didnt have moral compass or sense enough to think to wash hands before serving anyone! Me? I just looked and walked away. Proceed to spend my money at Subway and the strange thing that the subway employee notice the samething about unsanitary about ppl bring there pets to food court area and pets arent service dogs.
Love it lady was closing the gift shop and let me to buy my postcards it was late and everything closed down
Only stopped to use restroom. You have to walk 100 yards across the interstate to get to the building and the bridge was cold and windy. Better than nothing I guess.
On our drive out and back from Illinois this travel plaza is great. The walkway across I90 can be entertaining and is a great way to stretch the legs after hours of driving. Clean with lots of information on things to do in the area.
Unique plaza. Set in the middle of the highway. Each side must cross a walk way to get to the plaza. If you are in a hurry do not stop here
Sewer smell throughout the complex. McDonalds cost us over $31 for a Quarter Pounder meal and a 10-piece nugget meal.
I find this stop a little inconvenient because you must walk over a foot bridge for food and bathrooms. If you traveli with kids, they will like this rest stop because of the foot bridge.
Worst set up of a rest stop/travel plaza Ive been to, and Ive been to hundreds of them. Not really handicap friendly. Long walk on uneven surface from parking area to rest rooms.
Such a cool place! Restrooms were clean and the walkway over the highway was neat!
Great place to stop by for a refreshment, with a big food court offers a variety of fast foods. Gas station is also there on site.
One of the few stops available on the Turnpike, and looks the same as it did in the 80s. Clean, but definitely dated.
This a unique travel plaza. It is located in the median with a indoor bridge connecting both sides of the thruway. Something kids definitely enjoy. Along with the gas station located in the parking lot there are various dining options as well as restrooms inside.
Its one of the more unique rest stops youll ever see.
It was great to have a place to stop and use the facilities and grab a snack to eat. Rest stops are few and far between these days.
We went early morning so restaurants were clised but the building was very well kept
Always my stopping location, restrooms are clean and big.NOT ALOT AVAILABLE WITH PANDEMIC GOING ON.- No coffee stand, McDonalds coffee available (but weak).
All of our trips back and forth we always stop here. It is always clean and has a few options to choose from good wise.
Standard travel plaza that features a unique pedestrian bridge that connects both directions of the Thruway to a central rest area.This rest stop had the largest selection of restaurants I have seen on the Thruway. Give different places to eat at, such as Moes, McDonalds, Cinnabon and more.
Great location and very clean restaurant rooms. Sandella Flat bread is very good.
Easy access - lots of food and lots of parking. Short walk over the walkway to reach the plaza.
Seems like a nice rest stop. Gas, restrooms and quite a selection of food and drink business - McDonalds, Cinnabon, Auntie Annes, Moes, Subway, Lavazza coffee shop, Sandrellas, Ellas pizza & pasta. Also Faber gifts and regional information center.
My family and me stop here every year on our annual trip to visit relatives in Ohio. I remember as a kid watching the cars go on the road under me on the footbridge over the thruway. There is many places to eat and a player piano. Best rest stop on New York thru-way
Super nice place and plenty of refreshments.
Nice, a bit outdated, but clean. Very slow, not many customers.
The photos that I shared was taken while standing in the corridor that takes you to the businesss located at the Angola travel plaza. The corridor actually crosses above the interstate highway and you can look down and enjoy watching traffic buzz by under your feet.
Be ready for a walk of a lifetime right over top of the cars driving on the I-90 thruway :) McDonalds, fresh smoothies, Tim Hortons and a cute expensive gift shop for sweatshirts to candy to NYS magnets and more!
Nice place. Clean. Kinda busy. Has a decent amount of truck parking. Have to walk across the bridge to the other side if you want food.
3 out of 4 hand dryers in the ladies restroom did not work! Otherwise okay roadside stop on the way back to Canada. Really like the pedestrian bridge above the highway.
Best travel plaza in New York. Or best ever. I stop there every time to relieve myself because its so big and cool with the bridge that overlooks the highway. And has a great choice of food and clean rest rooms children and family friendly
Its kind of place in the middle of no where...easy in and out from the Interstate. Washrooms are clean, plenty of food to eat. I wish there was more than one coffee place. Gas is little expensive but not bad. Remember, there is no washroom in the gas station, use Plaza Washrooms. Lots of green area for dog business and trash cans nearby. I stop here on every one of my trip on that Interstate without fail.
Very expensive, restaurant staff is not friendly. They just want to get you served quickly and out of their way. Basic fast food restaurants that charge two-three times what the average chain charges. For instance at McDonalds a two cheeseburger value meal is $11.00 here, and $4.99 at other McDonalds elsewhere. A two taco meal is $15.00 here, and only $5.00 elsewhere and it doesnt include a drink.
This could be a very nice Travel Plaza. It is set in a beautiful location, but the services and accommodations are below standards of what they should be.Of the five to six restaurants that are located there, only two stay open. The rest close at 3 p.m.I was there for 10 hours and during that whole duration half of the restrooms were closed for cleaning with no attendant in sight.
A last stop always before entering Canada. Clean and well outfitted.
One of the nicer places to stop but busy busy for sure.
This place was crowded and dirty. It has definitely aged in the couple decades that Ive been frequenting it. Moes has an abbreviated menu but it was nice to have some food that wasnt fried.
They have one store.. McDonalds. This plaza needs serious renovation as everything is outdated down to the vending machines..
Its cool you walk over the thruway
The coffee shop good and ther cookies are very delicious..
Love here one of my favorite places on the north side of the states
Great and spacious, plenty of vending machine and restaurants. Beautiful view from the bridge over the Thruway, and the bathrooms were very big and had many stalls and urinals. Good available parking even during the busiest times.
The only rest area on I-90 between Buffalo and Erie. My grandson loves the tunnel over the highway. You can look out through the window at the traffic whizzing by. It has a few choices for food, coffee or treat (Cinnabon!). The rest rooms here are amazingly clean for such a much used travel center.
May seem like a long walk (for some) bit it was an enjoyable stretch walking across the bridge over traffic to the central bathroom and dining areas of the stop.The mem.bathroom was, architecturally, very interesting use of masonry and sinks. Creative and fun. The hand air dryers were a little low it seemed.The parking area, at night, could have been signed or lit up in some areas better. Maybe a parking lot paint job to improve visitor navigation.
Its a nice clean place to make a pit stop. Take the dog out (please clean up after your pet) get something to eat, or a cup of coffee from Starbucks ($$$) or a coffee from McDonalds 🥴. It can get quite busy because it serves both East and West travellers.
Large and clean service center on the thruway. Good selection of food vendors and clean bathrooms.
McDonalds open 24hrs. Lots of other food options, Cinnabon, aunti Annies pretzels, Moes southwest. Bathrooms as clean as you can hope for in a busy rest area. Real neat view as you take the bridge over the highway. Try to get the truckers to honk at you. Things are a bit pricey, but on the thruway you dont have alot of options.
This morning I was in subway there and asked Afro American lady to make me sandwich from bread which stays first because I didn’t know how it’s call. I know they have a lot of breads. And she told me to give the name of the bread, I said I don’t know the names and just showed to her. At the end she just didn’t want me to serve, keep said “HAVE A NICE DAY”. I don’t know why people can be so rude. I was nice to her I didn’t deserve to treat like that. If she doesn’t like her job why she does that I don’t understand. I felt that she was just lazy to do something that’s all.
Nice stop on the freeway. Perfect for a short break on the way.
Wow what a beautiful rest area right off I -90 plenty of parking for all kinds of vehicles beautiful building very well maintained love it love it love it
This has been my go to pit stop for decades when driving up to Niagara Falls. Clean bathrooms with lots of stalls so theres never a queue, a good variety of restaurants to choose from, and of course gas pumps. Its also accessible from both sides of the highway so it doesnt matter which direction youre travelling.
Bathrooms werent clean. Prices at the restaurants were really expensive. An interesting thing about this rest stop is how you get to walk over the highway! Pretty neat!
The only reason I am writing this review is to inform people that need cash for any reason, can definitely stop at this resting area and withdraw money. They have two machines (like that in the picture) that works as an ATM machine. We were on our way home and completely forgot that we did not have cash, and for those that dont have the ez-pass and need to pay the road toll, you can only pay with cash (American or Canadian dollars). This is just to help travelers as us. I have asked this question (if they had an ATM machine and nobody has replied, so I had to stop and check it. Bathrooms are clean and good as well. They have lots of options for food, vending machines and also tourist information desk. People say food is expensive, I havent check that.
Nice stop for information about the area and to purchase tour tickets.
Easy excess....food and gift shop
I always stop at the Angola plaza. It has more to offer than most. Its clean and convenient plus its fun to cross over the traffic and see the trucks flying under your feet especially when the kids get the trucks to honk.
Im not a big fan of the rest stops in the middle, but it is what it is. Its only a problem when you pull into the plaza and have to get to a restroom fast. Good luck with that. Otherwise, bathrooms were clean and rest stop was relatively clean with some decent food options.
Loved it...Kind of a Erie-Cleveland overbridge connection for a rest stop.Wish I had taken a picture.
Interesting travel plaza. Perhaps the way many used to be with the shops & restrooms being in the middle and having to walk across the walkway over the highway to get to them. While more efficient for the highway department, it takes significantly more time to get to the restrooms and shops.
Can not believe the prices in this place and McDonalds has a very RUDE sign posted at every register I mean we all know about Covid and wearing mask and social distancing I just feel they could have said what thet needed to say in a more respectful manner especially considering they might have a quarter of the original menu and what they do have is approximately 3x the actual price at other McDs
A clean and well-lighted place, with apologies to Ernest Hemingway.
Nice rest stop, with a clean washroom, limited choice of vendors!
Great places for food and coffee. Clean. Miss Dennys though!
Lots of options for eating but typically busy around meal times.
Neat rest stop. Theres a gas station to fuel up at. The food and gift shop stuff are on the other side of the highway. So you walk through a walkway that goes over the highway. Neat to stand there and watch the cars and trucks go speeding by under the walkway. Several stores to get food at. Prices are higher than a normal place but its a travel plaza so that is to be expected. Lots of parking also. Nice bathrooms, clean and convenient place to stop if you are traveling through the area.
Horrible travel plaza, it’s time to retire this place and redesign a new one
Clean bathroom nice open airy place
Nice place to rest clean bathrooms and good restaurants
Cool place to overlook the highway and a variety of food for everyone
Plesent place.. Helped girl that thought her car was stole.. Just went out wrong side of building.. Glad nothing bad happened.
Place feels safe but never see any sort of security. That bathrooms are gross but it is a rest area that sees hundreds of thousands of people per day Im sure. The McDonalds doesnt serve lunch until noon and the auntie Annes is literally never opened, no idea how it stays in business. There is a cinnabon store which is almost as good which is really the only place to stop for breakfast. The vending machines in front are a SCAM dont waste your money. Youll pay $8 for the same candy bar in the store inside but at least youll get it. The pop machines dont take any bill no matter how straight and the candy machine just takes your money and doesnt register it. SCAM
Interesting facility, in the middle of the freeway. Walk over the freeway to get to it. Nice facility inside, too. So, why 1 star? Ive stopped there about four times, at varying times of the day, and every time, the staff at the restaurants are what appears to be completely unsupervised youth. And youth who really *need* supervision. Like, being taught how to interact with customers. How to be professional. Etc. In general, every experience there has been creepy and cant wait to get out. I wont be back. Four tries is enough.
Handicap accessible although handicap button for the doors didnt work. Staff was friendly and helpful, I informed them of the button not working properly and the called maintenance right away. I stayed to rest and have something to drink (20 minutes)and upon leaving a employee walks me out being friendly. And when we got to the exit the maintenance department was working on the issue and also apologized for any inconvenience. Now this will be a always stop for me whenever I have to go this route!!!👍👍👍
Well they let us use the rest room unlike everywhere else around that area !! Literally the only public restrooms in the area !!
Good stop for food deink beverage ,bathroom etc
Good selection of fast food restaurants including Lavazza coffee. I was just disappointed that the Lavazza closed fairly early (just before 4pm). Needed a good caffeine fix! Has to settle for McDonalds coffee
Good rest area, prices are a little higher than the surrounding area but worth the convenience of nit getting off the interstate.
Dont eat here unless you dont care about what youre spending for fast food. For 2 McChicken 2 mcdoubles and 4 small fries was $34....... No McDonalds is worth $34 in America, if I would have waited 10 minutes, I would have saved half. Wendys prices were normal, idk whats going on hereThe set up over the highway was unique, the children loved the experience walking over the highway.
Clean facility various choices to eat at. 😋
My favorite rest stop.Bridge is cool.
The rest rooms were very clean
Its worthy a stop for a 150 mile runBathroom are clean and they have Macdonalds, subway Lavazza coffee and many other.They do have tour guid for Niagra.Downside its located on the other side of the stop so tie your shoes for a walk.
They get a 2 simply for existing. Be prepared for sky high prices, vending machines that steal ur money(i witnessed it on 3 different machines), filth, and rudeness. If u experience anything other than that, consider it a bonus!
Nicest welcome center Ive ever been in.
Great place for a stop one of the few along route 90 to stop fuel and eat better than average food.
Pennsylvania made it own way of rest area - service area .. inside shops are not 24 hours
Accessible from both sides of the highway with an enclosed walkway leading from one side to the other. Lots of parking and gas stations on both sides. Plus diversity in the food/restaurant choices, along with all the other necessities of a stop (sweet treats,rest rooms, etc), there was also a player piano....beautiful music galore!
Decent selecting for food. I like how you walk on the bridge over the highway. I remember this rest area ever since I was little. We called it the halfway house because its halfway between where My mom lives and where my Dad lives.
Super fun rest stop with bridges over the thruway! Beep! Beep! Woo! What a rush. Souvenir shop, Moes, Micky Ds, Subway, Aunt Annies. Not too bad. Player piano!
Convenient rest stop and food court for travellers.
You stop on one side walk across to the other it was very interesting. We stopped in to use the restroom and get some souvenirs.
The older black female working right now, August 8th, 2021 at 2:25 pm, is RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, and her hygiene is not one that belongs in a public space serving food.She had the audacity to fling her hand at me yall can go because she cant hear or do her job! Lol. The food looked old anyway, so she definitely didnt bother me.. but someone should review her customer service and replace her and that nasty attitude!
Its open when you gotta go and dont want to get off the interstate.
Great food and exciting views as you cross the interstate and watch the cars go under.
Slow food service and unavailable menu items.
Great. Clean bathrooms. Wish that one guy wouldve used a different urinal instead of the one right next to mine, considering there was more than a dozen open on either side of me.
Needed to be a little cleaner but not bad. The employee behind the wrap place could have been friendlier. And wraps have gone down hill.
Very pretty and clever to be able to look down at the road when the cars are passing, I believe that I wouldve been more pretty at night. I gave it three out of five stars because due to COVID-19 the gift shop wasnt open and some of the other places werent open, overall this was very nice.
A enclosed bridge across the freeway gives you access to the shops and dining choices. The food was good and there were very clean restrooms.
This place is pretty cool because it is located in the middle of the highway. There is a long bridge that crosses over both sides of the highway. The bathrooms were clean and there are plenty of stalls. The first time we stopped everything but McDonalds was closed, definitely because of covid. From what I remember there is a coffee shop, Cinnabon, Auntie Anns, McDonalds, and there were a few more but I just cant remember them.
This place is just your average travel stop. Nothing special about it. Well maybe there is one thing that is cool about it and it is the fact that it crosses over the highway.
Cool and fun place. They definitely make a rest stop way more enjoyable. Definitely stop in if you need a break or something to eat
They help use get a get rest before starting the road trip moved along.
The lady working in McDonalds was my angel!!! Thank you for the bottom of my heart!
Big place, bathrooms were clean, prices not too bad. No car charger tho.
Free WiFi and lots of fast food choices
This place is great. Lots of choices for meals, and facilities are always clean.
So nice I love this place so beautiful
It is cool being able to walk in the bridges over the highway and watch all the cars zooming by. The bridges get very hot in the summer though. The bathrooms at this place are decently clean and seem well maintained. Somewhat good selection of options for food and beverages, definitely a little pricey.
Clean convenient stop. Long walk to the bathroom. Multiple food options. Lots of parking.
Has everything you need. Food, gas, diesel fuel.
You cant get PARKING for a truck and you cant get anything to drink unless you go to the main building and then you have to have a$5 bill for the vending and the selection isnt very big at that.
Nice place to rest awhile. We can get Coffee and food. It is not good as Chicago one. But it is still ok
A little dated but there is a large variety of food and snacks inside and everything has always been clean during our visits. The self playing piano is a nice touch while waiting or eating. The walkway over the highway is really cool. The kids especially enjoy watching vehicles drive right under them.
I LOVE CINNABON!!! I got a HUGE cinnamon roll with pecans and it took me 3 days to eat it, and I enjoyed every bite!! (Cuz its so big!! Lol)
The rest stop was good and clean. They do have social distancing notices everywhere. It would be better if it had a few more hand sanitizing stations.
Very Unique and different type of rest stop. Rest stop sits in the middle of the interstate and you walk through the overpass above traffic to get to the food and bathrooms. This location has a wide variety of choices including Coffee shop, Cinnabon, Subway, McDonalds, Taco place, and a Pizza shop.
A unique stop along a very long drive. Clean enough but needs a very noticible full time cleaning crew for how busy the place is
Just too expensive. The food was pretty good but you pay for it
Clean, good place for McDonalds, watch out for Cinnabon, our were day old 🤔
Clean restrooms and lots of places to choose from to eat. The lady working at the gift shop was super friendly! The fastfood restaurants are overpriced being on the turnpike, be prepared to pay roughly double for the normal prices. The walking bridge over the highway way nice, our little ones loved stopping for a moment to watch the trucks and cars drive under us. :)
Good bathrooms, has a McDonalds, and its fun to stand on the walkway and look out the windows while trucks go under :)
Trucker. Good place to stop for a 10 or 30 if you can find parking. Nice break from the usual truck stop food chains. Clean bathrooms but it’s a walk if you struggle with distance. Expensive as you would expect.I appreciate that they’re open during the pandemic (looking at you Wyoming, closing the only bathroom for 120 miles).
McDonalds does not do the 1:00 sodas
During the pandemic, the long corridors are psychologically threatening and likely not the safest places due to the sheer number of people. It may save the state money to have one central facility, but it is strenuous for older travelers even when there is no health crisis. The McDonalds was OK and served the order fast while trying to maintain social distancing. Restrooms were well maintained.
Good place, good gas station, convenience store and many food options.
Great stop for restroom and food breaks.
Gift shop closes at 6pm, it has many pamphlets for tourist attractions, has McDonalds, Subway, Moes Southwest Grill, and couple other places to eat from. Clean restrooms, and there isnt a general convenient store inside for general items.
We always stop there. Lots of variety of food.
Very clean and good food.
I can say this is a unique setup, both directions of travel are serviced by access bridges from the rest stop on each side.Clean facility very many options for food as well..Pa should catch on with the monopoly of the pa turnpike
This had been my favorite rest stop since childhood and it is so unique. I love walking across the bridge and the variety of food options. Their are a ton of bathrooms stalls and the bathroom isnt brand new but it works. There are so many food options that work for a variety of dietary restrictions and lots of seating space.
My truck broke down at this place in New York. I give it 2stars due to the location in the median being very unique. The costs at all the stores were VERY REDICULOUS! I paid over $15 for my usual dollar menu order thats less than $5 all together! My w for $3 20oz Code Red Mountain Dew cost like 2for$6!
Greatest travel plaza to ever exist
Pricey and crowded, but its my familys traditional stop on the thruway. Great fun for kids to walk over the highway in the pedestrian tunnel.
Older plaza on the thruway. Have to cross over the highway in a pedestrian tunnel to get to the bathrooms and restaurants. It is ok in a pinch but the newer plazas are much nicer.
This place is a nightmare to navigate and is pretty dirty inside. There is only a McDonalds, none of the other restaurants on the highway sign were here.
Very over priced McDonalds. Two Big Mac value meals and nuggets $46. Prices were not visible. Drink $5. Avoid and drive someplace else.
Great service plaza. One stop shop.
We stopped because the pregnant lady had to go... but, we loved this plaza. The bathrooms were clean. But, someone was in there real foul and I had to walk almost to the last stall to be released from that rank fog! The walkway over the highway was pretty cool. Kinda scary, but cool! Loved the food court choices. A nice plaza to take a break!
Good place to relax from driving
Mc d has the fax service here
Great place to stop for a break while traveling. A variety of opinions for food including McDonalds, Subway, pizza and Auntie Annes. Service was quick and restrooms were clean and well maintained. Fuel is available as well.
Food was good clean restroom nice stop n choke
It is just fun to watch traffic pass under you.
Fun to walk over the bridge :)
Ancient and worn out looking. Prices are exorbitant. Strange walking path needed to visit rest area. Close it up. And then put in an exit so private companies can provide the services.Update on September 1st 2021. Even more filthy than 2 years ago. Restrooms are disgusting, with spider webs and stains on the handles. Two stalls had no T paper. This poor management, coupled with closure of other facilities makes traveling on a paid expressway makes traveling in New York truly disgusting.Who is responsible?
How do you rate a travel plaza??? This is definitely a unique setup with a walkway over the highway to get to a travel plaza between the eastbound and westbound lanes. Always seems to be busy. Lines for food at most of the fast food restaurants were about 15 minutes long. Bathrooms were ok and seemed clean.
So I have been going to Angola travel plaza since I was little and its a good place to pee but as a pokemon go spot the other travel plazas are better. The prices are a bit high for the fast food so I dont get food from here.
Very handy double-sided east and west bound rest stop. McDonalds is always open, but there are several more options if you stop during the day. The kids will love walking over the foot bridges to the facility - neat view with the other travelers driving by below. The restrooms are consistently kept clean and clear.
Wonderful port in a storm! Found ourselves in the late Jan snow storm and was able to get off the road here. Love the coffee kiosk in the center. Clean bathrooms. Convenience store had an ice scraper. McDonalds was letting people sit without purchase. Everyone working together helped make a bad situation better!
Clever design for a rest stop. They have a Moes in there too. Bathrooms were clean and masks are required.
Come for the view of the Thruway, stay for the food options. Just make sure you go back out the correct side.Bonus, the bathrooms are clean.
Best place to stop. There are alot of restaurants option. There is a pedestrian covered bridge over the interstate that connects the parking lot and plaza. The bridge walls are glass for to see the view of interstate trafic.
Love the walkway over the Thruway to get to the services in the middle. Not bad for a turnpike service stop area. Plenty of food choices and a coffee shop. Restrooms were ok. Prices are about what youd expect for being trapped on the turnpike.
If your headed west out of New York this will be the last service plaza on the Thruway. I usually stop to enjoy the view from above the interstate while walking across the skywalk.
Does have food usually packed. Semi parking fuel station is basic
Good location for pit stop. Clean restrooms, places to grab quick meals and Gas station.
Dirty bathrooms and cold fries! What more do you need?
Great stop but understaffed. The coffee stand had no one staffing it - it replied on staff at the far end of the hall who cant be in two places at once. Its clean. The McDonalds said they had fresh brewed coffee but did not. Then they forgot our order. When we reminded them that they had forgotten us they said someone else mustve picked up our order - except we had been the only ones waiting by the counter the entire time.
Best and only place to make a stop on the long stretch stretch of highway. I can only speak for McDonalds, Subway and Moes but they are all great. The only downside is their bathrooms are dated and look a little rough.

2022-06-07I used to love this rest area because of the great restaurants and the piano. But now with a little dog it’s not fun.It’s a bit of a walk to the bathrooms and restaurants. There’s an information center between the bathrooms. I did not see any gender neutral or family bathrooms but I was in a hurry to get back to my little dog on the other side of the walkway.The bathrooms are clean. They have both hot air hand dryers and paper towels. They have automatic flush and many hooks for hanging bags and jackets in the stall. The toilet paper was good and well stocked.There are also vending machines.The gas station is easy to access. No hand sanitizer available. One of the paper towel holders had towels in it.

2021-11-23This is the STANDARD for travel plazas, as it features a pedestrian overpass connecting both sides of the interstate. The food court is spacious with several franchises featured. The bathrooms are clean and sizable. There are vending machines and retail stores selling refreshments, foodstuffs and knickknacks. Outside the travel plaza is a plaque about Western New Yorks history. There are water fountains of varying sizes for adults and young children. Parking is plentiful and uncomplicated.

2022-03-23Its a really nice rest stop and its the 1st one when you enter new York from Pennsylvania from the I90 highway. It has a lot of good food options. If your doing night traveling through this rest stop is very empty. But theirs no food places opened at night only the McDonalds is opened. Minus that its a great rest stop and one of the best on the New York through way.

2022-06-12Neat rest stop, definitely worth exploring. Its got a few fast food restaurants and a gift shop inside. It seems to think its an airport.

2022-02-17Dreadful! Smells like a port a potty. Every elected official needs to be made to visit here eat here and use the bathrooms. Maybe then... This place will get the attention it desperately needs. Gut it and rebuild into something that feels safe, smells good and has good food options with clean areas to sit and eat.

2022-06-03Coming from Ohio, I have never seen a service area/rest stop quite like this. This has so many restaurants and a giant bathroom. The bridge over the highway is unique for sure. I will say the workers are quite rude, but hey, its New York.

2022-06-26Its a decent rest stop with restrooms, fuel and a small area for your pets! But be advised the restrooms 🚻 and plaza are in the center of the highway and you cross a walk bridge to get to the plaza and restrooms! My girlfriend got confused and went to the wrong side after using the restroom and thought I had left her there!! 😆😔
