    Normally, i would not want to go to a place like this due to the white-trashy, redneckish atmosphere.
    a) NEVER hire white trash/trailer trash/ rednecks.

    But i was running so vigorously last week that i was purely exhausted and knew i needed to eat---something. And at this late hour elkton petro was the only thing available.
    a) i had grossed over $1800 as a company driver, not O/O so this tells you just how heavy i ran last week.

    First off, they angled the parking spaces where you have to blind side in? Why? They could have angled it the other way and still had the same amount of parking spaces. Parking by the way is sparce.

    The buffet was, however, acceptable; Good selection, ok flavor. A little pricey though at $12.99.

    a) Corn too watery, no flavor. Basically, with corn you don't really even want to cook it so much as you want to tenderize it. Then, you drench it in butter. This is how you make corn. You do not want to submerge it underwater and leave it underwater---this is something alot of truckstop restaurants don't seem to understand. Putting it underwater takes the flavor away.

    So, a solid 5ish, 6ish out of 10. And good luck finding a parking spot if you get there after 9pm.

    I would rather park there than the T/A. Most of the time that is where I park at when I am there. You got a mickey D's and a taco bell and a chicken place in walking distance if you don't want to eat at the petro.

    How can the Petro beat the TA in Elkton, Maryland if they are owned by the same company?

    The same geographical situation exist in Knoxville, Tennessee where the Petro is right across the street from the TA.

    If they are so much of the same company carry your petro points card in the TA and try to get a shower and see what that gets ya:biggrin_2559:
    I guess your post sounded good in your head but in reality it just aint the same:biggrin_25513:.
    As far as in knoxville I hit the hook on the north side of the big road because the ta and petro are clusterf##### up in my opinion

    Oh and your avatar kinda creeps me out lmao
