I always enjoy Petro's and today, being the first Saturday of college football, I was glad to be able to get it delivered! The chili was nowhere near hot, but 30 secs in the microwave remedied the issue. I love Large Petro's Hint of Orange Iced Tea ! That hint of orange...mmmmm! I get it 1/2 sweet because I'm just not that southern, and it's perfect. Not sure what possessed me to order the Chocolate Chip Cookie , but I did. Its size was underwhelming, but for just over a buck, it was a delicious addition.

Sooo good! The Loaded Potato (GF) was huge and made as I requested. And it was not overbaked. The Sweet Vinaigrette Cucumbers salad was fresh and delicious, too. I wish I lived here. I would definitely order again.

This is the first time I've gotten Petros and been super disappointed. It seems like there's been a massive drop in quality. The potato is way smaller with very little toppings. The chili was way thicker than usual and the potato was hard. They also left out the extra chips that cost $1.20 extra. The tea wasn't sweet, warm and overall everything was bland and far from fresh. I usually love treating myself to some petros but this was terrible. Hope this was just a one time fluke :/

I asked them if I could have a little extra pulled pork and not only did they give me some extra on my Baja Petro but they gave me an extra cup side also. Petros is one of our top 3 restaurants in jo nson city. Best chili we have ever had.
