OMG! The Blue Cheese Salad Wedge was incredible. Lettuce was crisp, blue cheese crumbles fresh… The Double Dog Deal was so yummy. The Original Petro was great. The caliber of food was much better than several high end restaurants in the area!

The Petro's chili I ordered today, 8.17.25, was very watery and bland. I threw it away because it was not good. They did at least get it right, by omitting the green onions---as I requested.
The loaded baked potato was edible but dry and did not have enough cheese on it.
The lemonade was also watery.
I was very disappointed with this food. The brand was previously great for decades. It's been seven years since I've been to Knoxville and since I've been able to eat at any Petro's.
This food had no flavor and little value. I added photos.

Kids Petro Meal is a portion suitable for an adult, honestly. The orange slices and cookie are the perfect compliments to the chili. I appreciate that the restaurant packaged the chips separately so they didn't get soggy on the way to me. They did the same with the chili and queso for the Original Nachos so the chips didn't get soggy. Everything was delicious and, as always, the Large Petro's Hint of Orange Iced Tea is a classic staple of Petro's meals.

Absolutely Fantastic!!! My baked potato was big and filled up fully. Also, the cumber and onions were so tasty. This place is more than 5 stars. Highly recommend!!

The Double Dog Deal was great. The Blue Cheese Wedge salad is the best I’ve ever had. It can compete with fine food restaurant offerings!
