This is a treat for me, and they do not disappoint when I order. Always polite fast service and they now have the park and eat spaces. Vegetarian menu items bring me back for lunch.

We love this location and go here at least 1 time daily. They have great tea and chilli, and the service is great. We like to use the mug refill mug to get cheaper drinks since we get them so much.

A Knoxville staple, I have to come here on my travels though my hometown. It's a simple concept, the frito pie, attempted in many places. Petros is a great value, a great product, and decent service. Also the hint of orange Tea is a muuuuuust.

Petro’s Chili & Chips is one of my favorite lunch spots in East Tennessee! The West Hills location is my favorite location. I usually order a petro topped with grilled chicken and add buffalo sauce. It’s amazing! Their sweet iced tea is also a must! Definitely recommend Petro’s!

I wanted a plain baked potato and thought of Petro's first. The skin is always soft, which makes me happy. I also got regular Petro's for the fan, which are always excellent. Great & fresh ingredients, all endlessly personalizable. Oh, and the tea is the best anywhere!

Good experience. Quality food. Loved driving through so that I could get a happy smile from the employees. The nice young man that was at the window last time I went was named Scott. Scott gave me such pleasant manners and made my time at the window a pleasant time. He is the example of a model employee. He told me to have a petros day and now I tell all my friends the same. I love this young man. Food was good too.
