Petro’s Chili & Chips

Soooo good. Happy to back in Tennessee. Sought out the nearest Petro’s to get my fix. I try to replicate the recipe at home in Texas but hard to do. Can’t miss with an original and an unsweetened orange iced tea. Hello to Kimberly and Dale!

I was so lucky to be introduced to this place with amazing chilis chips beans and vegetables all nutritious ingredients in a cute small tiny bowl.
There were a varieties of beans, melted cheddar shredded cheese, sour cream, and vegetables that was in it which creates great source of fiber and healthy vitamins and mineral. The vegetables include green onions, lettuces, tomatoes, and I guess i would add corns or beans along with FritoLay chips and cheese.
The price seemed to be very reasonable and the quantity was just enough to satisfy the hunger. It is conveniently located at the west town mall on the front corner of the food court very healthy and very delicious.

With this location it seems like I have an issue almost every other time I go. This time they put 2 things I said I didn’t want on my petro. It is still good though and I just picked off the stuff I didn’t want.
I also decided to go at 10:30 so they might still be half asleep too.

First time and probably the last time. Maybe I was expecting something like Skyline or at least Portillo’s. Mostly beans and hardly any meat. Maybe they should take a page from Campbells and make a HEARTY version.

Have been several times for A Petro lately. I remember them from the worlds fair and they are still good.

While shopping at the West Town Mall over the weekend, I took a lunch break in the food court.
I decided on Petro’s Chili & Chips, which is a Knoxville institution serving chili & chips bowls (called Petros) for over 30 years. Besides Petros, they also offer stuffed baked potatoes, Nathan’s hot dogs, nachos, dippers, sweet iced tea, Coke beverages, and desserts (cookies, brownies, cones, sundaes, shakes).
There was quite a line up to the counter, but it moved quickly. I ordered a large Petro Mac ($ 6.29 plus tax) and a Large Sweet Tea ($ 1.89 plus tax).
The Petro Mac (elbow macaroni instead of chips) was served in a large paper bowl was layered with firm macaroni on the bottom and topped with a good amount of thick beef & bean chili, grated cheese, diced tomatoes, green onions, and sour cream. The Petro Mac bowl was very filling to eat and a good tasty lunch, washed down with some iced cold sweet tea.
