Onroute Trenton

Neither the biggest nor the best Onroute by any stretch. But it’s spacious, clean, and has a massive bathroom. Good stop on a long road trip, but of course, not the greatest selection of fast food.

This review could be biased considering I escaped a traffic deadlock into here. This OnRoute was god sent. I was dozing off from the carbon monoxide I had breathed in for half an hour when I detoured into this OnRoute. To say this OnRoute is perfectly, expertly, conveniently, opportunistically located in a stretch that is fated to be jammed every long weekend is an understatement. No contest 5 stars for the location.
The building is in essence one large food court. Food wise, there are Tim’s, A&W, Brioche Doree, Pizza Pizza and a convenience store. Other than fried chicken, they have the fast food bases covered pretty well. The restrooms are sufficiently clean (ladies one). All the hand dryers work.
When I left, my stomach was full, my head was caffeinated, my bladder was emptied. I also bought lottery tickets for the weekend. I was ready for the traffic jam to home.

Great location. Adequate seats for all. Good variety of food including A&W, Pizza Pizza, and Tim Hortons. Small gift shop and CIBC ATM as well. There’s also a Tim Hortons drive through so that’s a win!
I like this stop and I usually get A&Ws apple turnover. Super warm and yummy! Come by for a visit to charge up some energy prior to your road trips.

Options are always limited when you want a very quick bite while on the road. We stopped at Trenton Onroute on our way to Montréal and ate at Brioche Doree for the first time.
2 tuna sandwiches — $ 17.58
1 tomato olive pastry — $ 3.89
Total $ 24.26 after taxes.
The croissant tasted old, though the tuna salad portion was good. The tomato olive pastry was undercooked (bottom part was gooey) and oddly sweet. Very expensive relative to both quantity and quality.
This Onroute’s Tim Hortons would have been a much better choice.
As for the Onroute facility overall — the washrooms were clean and there were many stalls. And you know, there’s gas to fill up your tank so you can get to your location and eat good food there instead ;)

Good place, lot of options to eat, refreshing! Was good highway side of option! We took rest the restrooms were clean and properly maintained! Made my trip relaxing!

The washrooms are very well-​maintained and clean, especially considering the traffic the comes through. On both of my visits, there were no line ups for the men’s or women’s restrooms.
The customer service is friendly and efficient: also surprising, considering how many people are being served. I expected the service to be, at a minimum, curt. It was great.
Overall, a good place to take a break during a road trip.

Another haiku…

At Tim Horton’s schoolkids queue.
Deja vu.

After a treacherous drive from Toronto back to Montréal, I stopped here for a late lunch. Even at 230 pm the place was jammed.
OnRoutes are generally clean. This one was filthy, with all empty tables a complete mess.
There are not the best restaurant choices here (the obligatory Tim’s, an A and W, and a Pizza Pizza).
That being said, the Tim Horton’s was very efficient and the restrooms were cleaner than the rest of the place.

Very nice place with friendly attendants. I just wish some of the customers were nice as well. For some reason, several customer were bugging the attendants for no good reason and I admire how the clerks remained calm about the whole ordeal.
Good pit stop from Toronto to Montréal.

This place is pretty large and the super high ceilings make for an airy feel for sure. Luckily I was just here for the washroom, which were very clean and had a lot of facilities, which you’d expect considering how new this place is, and gas because the line for Tim Hortons was crazy, even though it was nearing 10pm, I guess they were driving further than I.
I then drove over to fill up on gas and selected to print my receipt, but I didn’t come out, not that it was a problem to run in, they printed it out and apologized.
As I pulled out of the gas station I got a little confused as it appeared the exit was blocked by parked trucks, fortunately another car drove by and showed me the way through. I don’t think they should allow trucks to park on both side of the exit ramp, its a little tight and looks as though there is no way out from the angle of the gas station. Or maybe it was just dark and I had a long day.
