Located in Knoxville, Tennessee, Petro's Chili & Chips emerged as a crowd-pleaser at the 1982 World's Fair. The signature Petro dish boasts a harmonious blend of Fritos corn chips, savory chili (offering a plant-based alternative), melted cheese, fresh tomatoes, sour cream, green onions, black olives, and spicy jalapeños, creating a multi-layered delight. For those seeking an elevated experience, the Premium Petro's Experience presents a selection of top-tier toppings like succulent grilled chicken, tender pulled pork, creamy guacamole, zesty salsa, velvety queso, or tangy buffalo and barbecue sauces.

Complementing their renowned dish, Petro's menu extends to include generously sized baked potatoes, juicy all-beef hot dogs, crispy nachos, and crisp wedge salads, all customizable to suit individual preferences. To quench your thirst, Petro's offers a unique Hint-of-Orange Iced Tea, distinguished by its infusion of orange essential oils and brewed with dried orange rind, providing a refreshing and flavorful accompaniment to their delectable offerings.
