“I'd been working out in the woods in Harriman (Roane County) and was starving. I wanted a snack and didn't want to drive into town, so drove here instead. The girl behind the counter made me probably the best hamburger I've ever eaten in my life! It was huge, and filled me up. The fries were fresh and piping hot. Delicious! I'll be back!”

“Pulled of the interstate after stop and go traffic, went to the BP down the road where the BP owner yelled in my face and threatened to call the cops for trying to use the restroom. Proceeded a few buildings down to Shell where I was greeted, used the relatively clean restroom, and left without a problem. 10/10, would pee again”

“Shell is notorious for nasty bathrooms and we normally avoid them on road trips but risked it due to the convenient location. The bathrooms looked like they were power washed and repainted, with new sinks and toilets installed. Everything was super clean and an employee was even sweeping the area outside. Very impressed!!”
