Petro Stopping Center

I am trucker. The first thing I see when I go to any truck stop is appearance. Of course the restaurant has to be very clean. Second thing is there showers has to be clean. This Petro is very clean and neat. Fuel is little bit expensive that other truck stops but it’s worth stopping.

This is a full service travel center and truck stop. I think this is the largest and most populous truck stop at exit 369 out of the 3 that you can choose from at this exit. There’s a gigantic parking lot for 18 wheelers. It’s usually almost full at night.
There’s even a big restaurant in here called The Iron Skillet. They have a buffet you can choose from or you can just get something from the menu.
Of course, they have lots of CBs and CB equipment for sale in here. Lots of CB accessories too. I also saw some GPS devices for sale. I saw some really nice high quality CB antennas. So, if you are looking to upgrade your CB antenna to get out further performance, then this is the place to check out.
I also saw some truck accessories for sale in here.

Alot of parking spots (18 wheeler). Wasnt hard at all to find one. Restaurant looked like it was down for maintenance, which sux cuz Ifuxx widd da iron skillet. But afterall thats why i keep groceries in my truck. So great parking is all need.

Nice stop for fuel, be sure to visit the little building where the truckers get fuel as they make sandwiches, meatloaf, goulash, maccaroni and cheese, chicken strips, pork chops. They have a flat top griddle and can cook eggs as well and also have breakfast sandwiches if your in a hurry and want something to grab and go. You can always ask them to make it fresh for you and they will.
Their soups are good too.
The restaurant in this fuel stop has a descent salad bar. Good breakfast. Descent priced.
Would recommend.

I dont know where the other travelrs stopped but I found this Petro to be the cleanest truck stop I have ever been in. Fresh flowers in the bathrooms, clean restrooms, friendly Team members, and GREAT food! I had the lunch buffett and it was awesome, not just bulk but flavorable food. Fried chicken that was not greasy, beef stew, awesome soups and a killer salad bar! The only item that was sub par was the yellow cake with chocolate frosting… it was kinda dry. But hey I don’t need that cake if you know what I mean… Seems like they might have had a change and management, but the current GM (Stacy McCarty) has this place running on high! Must stop location.

Just your basic stop to get gas and conveniences.

For a truck stop that is owned by the Marriott company I kind of expected a little bit more from the large Petro located off exit 369 in Knoxville Tennessee I did enjoy the fact that it had a very large parking lot which made finding a spot late in the evening easy to find, the showers are very cramped, you could have more room in a coffin. The following morning, walked into the iron skillet restaurant and decided to have breakfast. The bump a was far weaker than most iron skillets, the powdered eggs were normal no bacon on the buffet blend sausage the waitress was very polite and very punctual when asked for 3 eggs and toast. For the price of the buffet was not a bad meal. 3 out of 5 stars for this location only because of the size of the showers, and a non working air conditioning unit which made doing laundry almost unbearable but what do you expect from a truck stop
