Alexander Hamilton Rest Stop

Convenient to get to from New York City. Good location for a quick bite and rest stop. The bathrooms are large and relatively clean. Though it’s relatively small the food choices are pretty good and I was able to have healthy food.

Walked in at 4:30am to find the entire Roy Rogers staff on break for another 10 minutes. Didn’t have time to wait. So I walked away.

Very rarely do I leave a bad review because I know it can be harmful to a place but I figure this is a rest stop and it was really gross. The bathroom was FIlTHY. Ladies room five stalls had no toilet paper at all. The rest of them had urine on them. I had to wipe it off and clean it before I sat. The sinks were also dirty and the soap was all watered so i didn’t get my hands clean. You’d think I would be smart enough to stay away from the food. I got a piece of pizza and it was mostly dough. My dad got food too and they gave him the wrong sandwich and it took forever. I saw some good reviews so I was wondering if maybe we got them on a bad day. I will probabaly stop on my way home and check it out again. If not no big deal I’ll just drive twenty miles more to the next one.

I exited the rest room without conducting business. It was so dirty, I couldn’t bring myself to use it. 3^rd world conditions.

Definitely the best service area on the NJ Turnpike…
Service is always A+!!!

Leo, the manager, sets a very positive tone for this rest stop, and this is reflected in the staff and the whole customer experience.

Not really sure how you rate a rest stop … but for what its worth, this is the first rest stop you are going to hit after you enter New Jersey from the Lincoln Tunnel.
They have gasoline, food, drinks, candy, bathrooms … etc… What else do want?
Alexander Hamilton would be proud to have a rest stop named after him. You don’t see one named after Aaron Burr do you?

Ook! Eegads!
But when you gotta go…
There is a much needed restroom here and lots of over-​priced, horrible quality fast food.
Roy Rogers?
No frikkin’ thanks.
But at least i was able to use the ladies room and we were on our way…

I hate the Vince lombardi rest area because it’s super crowded and — let’s face it — kinda gross. So, when I’m headed southbound and I need an overpriced soda or a pee break, I take the eastern spur of the turnpike and avoid the crowds by coming to this service plaza instead. It’s always mostly empty and the parking lot is delightfully civilized (a good place for your dog to pee also). Also, there is rarely a line for cheap full service gas — an added bonus! However — don’t expect better food here — it is overpriced service plaza fare.
