Here’s a rundown of the current and future food options at each Thruway rest area. Three service areas fully finished, and a number of others are currently closed for construction. Some rest stops now have no eateries available, with the only food options being sandwiches or other food items from rest area convenience stores. Meanwhile, older restaurants like McDonald's and others have closed as the project proceeds. Most rest areas will also feature a coffee shop drive-thru, courtesy of either Starbucks or Dunkin’. To populate the new service areas, New York went for some of the most popular chains in fast food and fast casual eating, including Southern favorite Chick-fil-A, whose upcoming presence on the Thruway drew ire from lawmakers over the company’s history of giving to anti-LGBTQ+ causes New York native Shake Shack, Panera Bread and Panda Express. The rest area overhaul is estimated to be completed in 2025. The state embarked on a $450 million project to update all 27 service plazas with a brand new look and a fresh slate of food options. But In 2020, New York decided to change that. The restaurant choices (or lack thereof) along New York’s main east-to-west thoroughfare often hinted at the fact that the Thruway’s rest stops haven’t been fully updated in over two decades. Most New Yorkers have probably experienced a late-night drive on the New York state Thruway, during which your only real sustenance was a breakfast sandwich from a rest area fast food joint or maybe a cup of steaming coffee from Starbucks or Dunkin’ if you’re lucky.
