Originating in Knoxville during the 1982 World’s Fair, Petro’s is known for its signature Petro—a barrel of deliciousness featuring your choice of our original chicken (97% lean) or plant-based chilis, Frito’s and your preferred toppings (typically cheese, diced tomatoes, sour cream, green onion, olives & jalapeños….but also guacamole, grilled chicken, BBQ pulled pork and more!). The tastiness doesn’t end there. Our Hint-of-Orange Iced Tea, which is freshly brewed to perfection throughout the day and features just a hint of orange, is also an award-winning crowd favorite.
Our menu also features giant baked potatoes, made-to-order wedge salads, 100% all-beef black angus hot dogs, crave-worthy nachos and Christie® Cookies.

Great food! I’ve been eating Petro’s since the ’90’s and it’s always great! Glad we finally got one in Lenoir City!

Stopped here a couple a days ago for a quick lunch as we where passing through and ordered a couple of things and from the time we placed our order to the time we reached the window the lady was super friendly over the intercom she kept making suggestions on what to try and super patient with me. When we received our food at the window the lady there with the biggest smile ever was so friendly and you could tell she really loves what she does. I would recommend trying this place if you are ever in the area and if you like stuff with chili on it. Food taste perfect the day we stopped by.

I’ve been to 47 states and lived in some of them too and have never been to a place like this. I just moved here and wanted to try something different and found this place. I dont know what to say… if you want something hearty and you get the petro or the petro baked potato with jalapeños and olives and then ask for pulled pork extra on top then get a sweet tea you will not be disappointed. It is not fancy and is very simple but the best things are…

Even better than I remember. Don’t miss the hint-of-orange iced tea. So many great gluten-free choices. Everything in the chili bowls with Fritos are gf. Except for the pasta, hot dog buns and cookies, the whole menu is gluten free.

Petro’s is always a great place to eat. I love the Double Dawg special and my wife loves their namesake dish and especially the Orange Pico Tea. Our grandkids also enjoyed their plain hotdogs.

So had to run for scripts and had a hunger for something to eat, my wife and I hit the drive thru as the lobby was closed. We got three chili dogs and one Mexican one forgot the name. It took a minute and was well worth it. Didn’t even get to the Fritos, just the dogs and sodas. The gal at the drive thru window may have been working alone, not sure, but she was very pleasant and smiled. We only had our card so I was bummed I didnt have anything to leave in the tip jar, BUT I will find out who it was and get some to her in the next day or two as I sample more of the menu. I love supporting local, ma & pa or comercial locations that treat you rite and bring you value.
