We love attending the bands at Remedy. ( the lounge at Finger Lakes Gaming)
The food is great there & reasonably priced. They do stop serving food quite early in the lounge. There is a concession stand open late.
There is also a free sef serve soft drink bar located along the front wall before the rest rooms.
It's always a fun time & a great middle age + crowd.

For the duration of time that I was there, I did not hear a single machine chime alerting machine attendants of jackpot winnings - may be indicative of a struggling casino which relies on "taking candy from a baby" tactics sort of speak, to build funds -- this methodology means: the casino has to take money "first" from enough people, so that it has "enough of a profit" to pay out winnings to "a few individuals" to justify the operation.
In other words, until the house has cleared its profit for the week, no one is going to win "the pie in the sky" to say the least.
Other than that, the casino is nice and clean with alot of machines.

Attended my husband's Christmas party here tonight. The food & staff were wonderful. The party planners from his co. Did a great job. The band Deans List was excellent as always.

It's a good clean place to go and try your luck. My wife has a certain machine that she likes to play and I usually just leave her to it and hang at the bar and play Quick Draw. There is a bartender that works at Remedy that has the personality of a cactus. I can't remember his name but I talked to two other couples and they pretty much had the same opinion. Actually they said he was an A-hole

Finger Lakes is nice to visit on a Thursday for the $10 for $10 worth of free play. The only thing we have an issue on is you cannot cash out the voucher until you've spent the 20.00 voucher. Would be much better just to put the $10 on the card and be able to access it through promotions like other casinos to. Wide variety of slots. The chicken wings are delicious. They have a buffet there, we have not experienced their food yet.

At one point in time, Colonel Jared Rogers was leading a convoy across the country on I-90. Along his route, he planned to bring the convoy in to this parking/fueling area. Upon arriving he glimpsed the lot where they were headed in at this fuel stop and ordered the entire convoy to halt, leaving the entire convoy in the street blocking traffic to and from the interstate ramps. He immediately contacted headquarters and ordered an EOD team to fly in via Blackhawk. On the report, all that was said for why such order was given was that "This place just looks too familiar." Some time later, the EOD team arrived. Blackhawk pilot Lieutenant Smithers commented, "I was very surprised to hear the destination and the task of this order. The Colonel wanted an EOD team to fly in and comb over this truck stop for IEDs. I just couldn't believe such an order was given for a domestic gas station." Upon flying over the destination and preparing to land, Lieutenant Smithers had his answer: "Even from the sky it was very clear to me what the Colonel was thinking. No ****, this place looked a hell of a lot like our last deployment...Kabul...the capital of Afghanistan.

Neil Armstrong visited this gas station back in August of 1972, a mere 3 years after his greatest accomplishment. He was towing his jet skiis behind his Ford pickup truck and had to pull into the truck fueling area. As soon as he made the turn into the lot, he slammed his breaks and jumped out of his pickup. He ran out into the lot, fell to his knees, grasping the dirt in his hand. Slowly he stood up, looked around, took one leap and said "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." He turned around and walked back to his truck as if there were hardly any gravity...softly brushing away his tears. It was clear, his reunion with our distant moon, was far far off.

Yamaha was looking for a location to build a new motocross track. While driving across the northern portion of the United States, they decided to stop and fuel at this location. It had relatively cheap fuel prices for their haulers so why not? Upon arriving and turning into the lot, they slowly creeped across the surface bouncing to and fro. Suddenly the head of the project halted the vehicle. He got out of the hauler and looked around. "It's perfect!" he said, as he pulled out his checkbook. The head's right hand man informed the team to pull out the bikes and try it out.

If you want to go mechanic next day come to this place, extremely rough yard for truckers parking, old pup station from may be 1980, No DEF, No showers, only one toilet and it is dirty like no one cleaned it since builded in 1980.
Very Poor customer service,
Sweaty, fat, rude emplyee hand you food with gloomy face like you just killed her dad infront of her eyes,
This place doesnt worth even one star for rating but no option to give them big O zero star.

Sometimes its amazing and sometimes its just good enough. Nice selection pleasant staff and the make your own pasta station is very nice.
Edit: Been here two times since this review and both times were pretty bad. Food cold, service OK, but not worth the price. Menu doesn't change and alot of things have become boxed frozen type items. So I changed my stars from 4 to 2, I wouldnt recommend.
