“Do you miss that neighborhood place were everyone was friendly, prices were good, and the food was as good as Memaw's? This is your place, it's worth going a little out of your way. When you first walk in you feel comfortable and recall the wonderful diners and sandwich shops of your youth. I had a ham and Swiss on a dark roll, hot. They exceeded my expectations, the shaved ham was tasty and not salty, the cheese perfectly melted. This place knows how to steam sandwiches to poo perfection, not soggy, as too many places do. I had potato, cheese, jalapeno bites. Fried perfectly and served with ranch, not too spicy, but a perfect blend. The sweet tea, gain perfectly prepared. Not overly sweet as you could taste the tea. I dislike tea that tastes like pure sugar. I noticed on the menu board they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What a gem this place is and I wish it was closer to my home 90 min away.”
“This treasured tobacco & more shop is a local spot that deserves much support. The folks who run it are courteous, helpful, and offer a good selection of quick-grab convenience store items at very reasonable prices. Note: Although their parking lot currently needs a little TLC, I believe if more Knox locals gave this business their patronage, they'd be able to spruce it up easily. Shop local, support small business, and save a little cash - this store is a gem.”
“Wide selection of items. Staff was friendly but not very knowledgeable (In my specific area - tax exempt status). Prices are average, even might be a little cheaper than local co-ops with a larger variety of items. Bonus- They offer good free popcorn while you shop. It brings back memories. (Those of you know what I'm taking about) Nice place”

I cannot thank them enough for the great work they did!”
“I usually go to Food City Gas'N Go specifically bc I shop at Food City & earn Fuel Visits. They already have a decent price on gas but it's great knowing I just did basic shopping & a already good gas price gets even better when I use Fuel Visit. If I'm remembering correctly... it's ¢15 cheaper on an already good price of gas!”

“Great store with a variety of essentials and the employees are always very polite. The only issue I have is that the listed hours don't match when they're actually open; I've come 2 hours prior to the listed closing time of 12 AM and the store was still closed. Other than that, this store is a great place to go if you live in the fort.”

“I just stopped in to grab a cold drink while on my way to Knoxville. I noticed that they had tamales down on the bottom shelf of the deli. I had her heat me up a couple of them in a bowl and spoon. If you like tamales or have never tried them I highly recommend getting a couple. Believe me. You'll be back for more. I got 4 more frozen and took them home for my midnight snack. I should have picked up a dozen but that's ok. Doan's is only 25 miles from home and worth the trip back.”

I leave this review after several visits and no matter who rings me up they are considerate and patient! There are several gas stations around but please support these two, they are special folks who take care of their customers time and time again!”
“We actually ended up in The BP's parking lot at closing time tonight with a dying car battery in the snow, an employee named Johnny checked if we needed anything before he closed up AND ended up getting his ride to jump our car off. People usually don't care enough especially at closing time . I don't usually leave review s but I hope his superiors get to see this one. Got me and my boyfriend home safe.”

“It's my favorite gas station in Knoxville. I love the rewards program, their drinks are not expensive, and their cigarettes are pretty decent priced. Customer service is amazing. They're really great to talk to, always have a smile and they're nice people. Their gas prices can get crazy at times, but we go there anyways. Their cappuccinos are amazing and they have a decent variety of Fountain drinks Plus they have pellet ice for $0.55 a cup no matter what size.”
“Local, friendly, and alot of vape, smoking type items, sunglasses that stands out. Use to be Robert's market and Deli. Before that Ed Brandon's market along time ago. Usually not crowded. No gas here. Just basics.”
