USA Today: Top 10 Gas Stations for Food

[OrlandNole]

USA Today released a list of the top 10 gas stations for food in America. Did yours make the list?

1. Royal Farms: The chain also sells a wide variety of packaged snacks and fountain and bottled beverages.
2. Casey's: Casey's stores have sandwiches, wings, and breakfast items along with prepackaged fare, but they're known for their pizza.
3. Kwik Trip: People come to Kwik Trip for the gas, but they come inside for the bakery which serves bread, muffins, cookies, bagels, and doughnuts. They also offer burritos, pizza, salads, soups, and fried chicken.
4. Rutter's: Their food service counter is open 24/7 and includes seafood, burgers, pizza and subs, plus a full breakfast menu and a kid's menu.
5. TravelCenters of America: Hard to argue with this one, and at least there are some in Florida. TravelCenters truck stops include complete full-service restaurants in their locations, and some are partnered with a variety of fast food places such as Popeyes and Taco Bell.
6. Maverik: Inside a Maverik store you'll find BonFire Foods, an eatery making fresh pizzas, wraps, salads, sandwiches, and burritos every day.
7. QuickChek: The more than 150 stores in New Jersey and New York are popular for their soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, seasonal dishes and bakery goods such as their signature cookies.
8. Weigel's: If you haven't driven through Tennessee you might not be familiar with Weigel's, which has about a hundred gas stations all over the eastern side of the state. But locals like the doughnuts, cookies, and muffins coming from the bakery, as well as the store's pizzas, sandwiches, fried chicken, and breakfast foods.
9. QuikTrip: QT Kitchen counters serve up frozen treat concoctions, specialty drinks, breakfast biscuits, macaroni and cheese, sandwiches, pizza, and tacos made fresh to order every day.
10. Buc-ee's: And then there's Buc-ee's. With locations larger than some grocery stores, Buc-ee's is famed for its bewilderingly large array of food, both freshly made (BBQ sandwiches, certified Angus beef brisket, pulled pork, sausages, turkey, kolaches, roasted cinnamon nuts, pastries, fudge, even potato chips) and packaged under the Buc-ee's name such as chips, candy, popcorn, hot sauces, candied jalapeños, the highly addictive Beaver Nuggets, and an entire wall of homemade jerky.

Wa-Wa.

 

[ericram]

Never heard of any of these except Buc-ees. Wawa is great for food.

 

[Moral]

Must be pretty rough out there if Kwik Star managed to sneak into third with their trash food.

 

[millah_22]

Maverik bought out Kum and Go

 

[The Tradition]

This list sucks.

 

[SeaPA]

This list sucks.

Yeah, no Circle K with the sausage, hot dogs, and taquitos on the roller grill?

 

[BlIIlken2]

HAHAHAHAHA BUCEES SUCKS!!!

 

[bhawk24bob]

One of the nicer RoFo’s is rather impressive if you’re into gas station food

 

[Mayland]

Been to three of these, Kwik Trip, Quik Trip, and Casey’s. Kwik Trip is amazing.

Their fried chicken is quite good IMO.

I'd agree....Caseys is #2.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Kwik stars food is ok. Casey’s new spicy crispy chicken is great. Like an easy #1 item for a gas station.

 

[Mayland]

I know Kwik Star and Kwik Trip are the same company. Are their stores the same?

With regard to buc-cee's, at what point is it no longer gas station but a grocery store?

World's largest Buc-ee's opened in Texas on Monday. Look inside the new travel center

The world's largest Buc-ee's travel center opened June 10 in Luling, Texas. See photos from inside the 75,000 square foot store.

Pretty much.

Wisconsin stores have better prices on beer.

Most of the Kwik Stars are newer in my experience - and have a bit more selection.

 

[LuciousBDragon]

Shout out to Sheetz from Ohio/Pennsylvania. Many a hangover prevented from ingesting a fresh sammie after midnight.

Sheetz and their full service kitchen was great to hit while in the Mid Atlantic region.

 

[CaboKP]

HAHAHAHAHA BUCEES SUCKS!!!

Careful, that may start a WW3 discussion. some people love Bucees.

 

[QChawks]

Casey’s underrated

 

[HawkMachine]

Casey's:

Try the BBQ Pulled Pork pizza.

Had it a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome.

 

[Colonoscopy]

It just says food. For food. Aggregate. All the food. Quantity not quality.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

I'd agree....Caseys is #2.

Then do it

 

[DPUboiler]

The fact this doesn't include Wawa or Sheetz is crazy. Maybe the top two.

 

[joelbc1]

Must be pretty rough out there if Kwik Star managed to sneak into third with their trash food.

The Jqik Stars around here do huge lunch business! Their whole chickens seem really popular. For me, KS is as good as any…..but Buc-ees is impressive.

 

[speak34]

That fact that Wawa is not on this list shows that they didn't really try to find the top 10. Better hoagies that Subway or Jimmy Johns

 

[GOHOX69]

Royal Farms? Seriously? It was a dump when I went to Hopkins. Drunk Hopkins students and foreign students who didn't have a car. Things must have changed significantly.

 

[Scruddy]

Lol one of the worst lists I've ever seen but it is from USA today so I shouldn't be surprised

 

[Finance85]

Half the places on that list aren't anywhere in the southeast.
