This is the rest stop on the Bolt Bus route between Boston South Station Bus Terminal and 33rd st/11th ave in New York City. There is a McDonald’s across the highway, but it seemed dangerous to cross and I didn’t want to risk my bus taking off without me. The bathroom has 3 stalls and is clean enough for a rest stop. There was another bus there at the same time(also Boltbus, but going in the opposite direction TO Boston). That, and the handful of normal travelers(who took their food to-stay rather than back on the bus like the rest of us) meant the staff were visibly stressed. At one point, 2 of the 3 cashiers went in the back to help get the food out. Fortunately, bus drivers are aware of this bottleneck and are generally good about waiting a few minutes if people are still waiting on their food. My medium onion rings came in a box but with maybe just 6 – 7 small pieces which was fine because I wasn’t that hungry, but I was definitely expecting more. I also wouldn’t recommend the hot chocolate, through no fault of the staff, it just wasn’t good and tasted like something out of a cheap off-brand hot cocoa mix. Overall a pretty average Burger King. I genuinely feel bad for the staff who were as friendly and cheerful as they could given how plainly overworked they were. I will also invariably prefer to stop here than the McDonald’s across the street since BK at least has a veggie burger!

No bus there when we got there, and wasn’t very busy, but it took a long time to get our food. We sat far away from the counter when we heard a verbal altercation going on between 2 women behind the counter. They were quite loud. Not very professional.

A place just behind McDonald’s. Food is good, the server is nice, and nice atmosphere. On the recent visit, Our Extra Long Siracha Cheeseburger we had ordered was really spicy and mouth watering saucier. Chicken Fries are so good! If you’re hungry while driving on I-84, stop here and you can have the same taste. Very Good BK!

I try not to eat fast food, but hey I’m human. I had the whopper meal. I remember when a whopper was so filling. Now, the patty is super thin and sad. It’s a flat fast food mystery meat with L, T, P, & O on bun. Subway would have been a better choice(head down in shame)

Hate going to this place, to many busses. I woul rather go someplace without a ton of busses. Have seen as many as 4 at one time. That is a little ridiculous. The food is good though its just not worth dealing with this place with the bus traffic

The Burger King itself: Typical BK food. Hotter than normal because they are wicked busy. Navigating the Burger King Bus Terminal: 1. Are you in the back of the bus? Did it pull into BK with other buses? Use the bathroom on the bus, it’s probably cleaner, and there won’t be a line. 2. If you are sitting near the front, and there are no other buses, now is your chance to get first dibs on either food or the bathroom. Choose wisely, because you’ll wait for the other. 3. Look at the your bus #. Chances are there are more than 1 Lucky Star bus, more than 1 Bolt Bus, and you DON’T want to end up going back to the city you just left while your stuff heads to your destination. 4. If you smoke pot in the parking lot, chew some gum before you get back on the bus. It’s wicked annoying to smell you, stoner! 5. If it’s nice out, get off the bus to stretch your legs. You might even be tempted to buy the local CT paper out of the newspaper box! 6. If you’re in the back of the bus, don’t stand up immediately when the bus stops and try to climb over people. Let people get off before you, it’s only right. 7. If you’re in the back of the bus and there are multiple buses, venture across the street for food & the bathroom. It’ll take less time than waiting at BK. Much cleaner bathrooms, too. 8. Take a look at your bus driver, and remember what they look like. Sometimes they’ll go into BK looking for you if it’s not a full bus. Don’t get left behind. 9. The BK bathrooms might be the nastiest around. Then again, what can you expect with 1 urinal and 1 toilet in the men’s room that services roughly 100 people an hour at its peak. I can’t believe I rattled off 9 things so easily! Print it out and use as a reference for future trips.

I wish BoltBus would stop elsewhere… being forced to choose between BK and McD’s really sucks. BK is the best its ever going to get, a full 2 stars

Specific to this BK: If you see the buses, sometimes as many as three, in the parking lot go across the street to McDonald’s. The buses are traveling between Boston and New York and they bring in a lot of business for them but make the wait time ridiculous. All BKs: Their fries are horrible.(Susan, I’m not sure about my sanity at times but my taste buds tell me that McDonald’s fries are much better)

Bolt bus happen to stop by this spot for a break. Since I was already there and hadn’t eaten breakfast, I thought, «I’m on vacation. Why not start the day off with a medium french fry.» Well I hadn’t waited long before I got my piping hot cup-full of perfectly crispy and seasoned fries. If someone tells you McDonald’s has the best fries, I would question their sanity.

Easy to get to when traveling I-84. Just North of exit 67. Run of the mill Burger King.
