Route 100 Market — Restaurant in Town of Somers

Here's the bottom-line upfront: It has just about everything you want or need, but you're gonna pay way more than you should for all of it.

Route 100 Market is convenient, easy to access, and has a broad offering for a "gas station": a full in-store deli, beer cooler, pre-made food, and a wide variety of snacks. It's very similar to the 'Flory's' chain of stations. And I wonder why more stations don't copy this format.

My biggest complaint, and why it only gets/deserves three stars, is that the prices are just crazy talk. Everything is overpriced. Ok, so you're paying for its convenience, and if you need gas and/or food at 2am when nothing else is open you're probably less likely to grumble about the price. But I don't know… it feels like the prices are just on the other side of "acceptably high for the convenience tradeoff".

My other complaint is that it seems like all of the pre-made sandwiches have lettuce and tomato on them. I can work with the lettuce, but tomatoes? No.

"You're complaining about tomatoes? Isn't that crazy talk?!". I don't think so. Hear me out.

Because the prices are just too high, I only visit Route 100 Market when I need to grab a quick bite. The pre-added tomato makes all of those sandwiches soggy. And that means they're ruined. Unless it's a BLT, not every sandwich needs tomato.

So, there ya go: Prices are too high; sandwiches...

Gas stations aren't just places to buy gas and air and anymore; not for a long time. I remember when Route 100 was just a small shed with a few essential items jammed in it; coffee, rolls, milk, beer, and of course gas and air. Enter Route 100 Market 2.0. Wow! You know the owner spent a million dollars building a beautiful big new market. A great addition for Somers residents and businesses. The Market offers a Real deal Deli with food to order and premade sandwiches and salads for the ones in a hurry. Everything is made fresh. We've all been to roadside gas station markets but this one is above and beyond. It even has seating for the ones that don't want to eat in the car. They have a walk in refrigerator with a great beer selection. The whole of the market houses a selection of food, snacks, staples, household dry goods and too much more. Not to mention clean restrooms and beautiful landscaping. My observation is that the owner treats her staff like family. The same people have worked there for years if not decades. They are all helpful, friendly, polite, in uniform, and well groomed. You can tell the market is managed very well. And the difference stands out. It is always neat, clean, well organized, and stocked. Gas prices are not the lowest around. Belated Congratulation,...

its so great!!... that one big negative stands out. The deli process.

I do most of my shopping there... I do mean most- Food, gas, deli, beer, fresh fruit, flowers... you get the picture. And they have JB&Son / Brunettos ravioli and manicotti and stuffed shells!! so what could be wrong? Not much! but some constructive criticism is in order: The deli food is really top notch but the service is all crapped up. They should have an order taker or something. If you call in, you usually get a cashier who has to transfer it to the deli, then when you pick up food, you have to wait, wait, wait for somebody/anybody to turn around and acknowledge that you're there as they are busy making food, and then you have to get a ticket, wait on line at the cashier to pay, then go back to the deli and wait again to get your food. Maybe its not bad when its not busy... but its ALWAYS busy when I go. One dedicated person handling ordering and pickup on weekend mornings would be a start. Maybe even a cash register at the deli.. Otherwise congrats on building such a successful business that everybody raves about- just get me in and out quicker while my egg...
