“Don’t judge the book by its cover!
We went there by chance while traveling from Smoky to DC- frankly we were taken aback as we entered the truck parking ground. We were very skeptical and checked before entering if it is ok to stop and eat there.

So glad we did!!!! Such an amazing place — a true hidden gem… it has pure dhabba vibe!! The place was so nice and airy … fresh breeze all around. Now the best part, the food- it was really a dhabbha experience! The curries, chat were great. Simple, clean and delicious !
The best was chai and rotis/ Phulkas…. excellent. All this at a very reasonable rate.
Thanks for providing great food at a good price and place to rest and freshen up for all the truckers .. it is truly a great service to the community!
We are totally impressed!!
Hope to go there again soon!
Thanks for“

“It’s my favorite ❤️ 😍 I highly recommend it.“

“I used to be a huge fan of Chick-fil-A and would eat there at least once a week. However, as my city expanded and developed, the chicken they serve back home became incredibly salty, spicy, and dry. Coming here brought back all the feelings from years ago—the casual, friendly conversations, the warm smiles, the fast yet patient service, and of course, the delicious chicken sandwiches. I will absolutely add this stop to my road trips in the future—even if it means making a detour just to come here.“

“Like all Chic-fil-A restaurants, it's very clean and appropriate. The stay is always polite and kind. The service is always fast, even when slammed. With rarity, I can honestly say that I have never had a negative experience with Chic-fil-A.“

“Before the pandemic my son Micah and me enjoyed many delicious meals and treats at this restaurant. Staff was great too! Hardees has legendary biscuits!“

“I know Hardee's in New Ulm MN has had some issues, but I went there today and was more than impressed! there were at least four people working there and they were so friendly and the food came really fast. it was fresh and hot and delicious! I can't wait to go there again, it looks like they have really pulled it together!“

“Unique today. Cajun chicken biscuit was so dry it cracked when a piece broken off. Gravy from the biscuits and gravy was sawdust gravy. No sausage. Horrible meal today. Have had good experiences but this was a total disaster. To top it off would not give me my receipt so I could stub. That was odd. Think meal was eleven something. Will try again and hope this was just a bad day.“

“Went through the drive thru last night. They must be short handed as I paid they brought the food to the car in front of me then asked me to pull up to wait for mine. The classic sandwich was good. The chicken salad was lacking the pecan in its name and was a little dry. Still better "fast" food than most others on the parkway.“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“Accidentally got French fries instead of tater tots the manager replaced the french fries for tots and gave me sorry we fudged up card.
So I came back with the sorry we fudge card and got a delicious burger. Thank you for the great service and the great management. You guys are the best. Thank you for the great food and service keep up the good work“

“always fair priced and nice staff“

“Short changed by the guy that brought the food out. Walked by several times after that , did it on purpose. Change was less than the tip I kept. Food better than average. Too many workers out smoking by the order booths. No more business there.“

“Richard and his night crew are the best. The treatment I received last night went above and beyond and fast food restaurant I’ve ever been to. I will definitely be coming to this location more often just because of him and his team. Absolutely 10/10 food was perfect and fresh as well. Keep up the amazing work guys!!“

“I was on break with a lunch I brought from home and I forgot my spoon. popped in on the off chance I could get a spoon and the lady with the black and white hair went super out of her way to help me !
I've never eaten at Jersey mikes but now I think I have to.
Give spoon lady a raise, she rocks!
THANK YOU SPOON LADY“

“Wanted to shout out the crew at the Bristol Va store #037662. We have been ordering from this location for about 6-8 months and the staff (Ashley in particular) has been gracious and making a seemingly mundane task of ordering food a fun experience. The food is always fresh and quality is great. We had an issue with the last pizza not being very hot and spoke with Ashley tonight prior to ordering and she ensured the door dash driver placed the pizza in a delivery bag to keep it hot. Pizza came piping hot and yet another fast and great order from this location and staff, they deserve some kudos.“

“Food is always delicious! Kaitlyn who works here is an absolute angel, she’s so sweet and kind and will get you anything you may need. She definitely deserves a big raise! Working in the fast food industry is one of the hardest jobs and Kaitlyn always maintains a smile!“

“I went for a Taco Salad last night ticket #3349 restaurant #00010925 Volunteer Parkway Bristol, Tn. I was served the slimiest, nastiest, grossed salad EVER for $9.28. It looked like a Science project. I had to drive ALL the way back and go in this time instead of the drive thru. I ask for a salad that was fresh. The lady looked into the frig were they are stored shook her head but didn't trash the other nasty ones they planned on serving but did request for me a new one fresh made as I requested. Was scared to eat it even because the man that made it was highly pissed when he brought it from the back. I never got an apology for my trouble, no manager spoke to me to apologize. Stood there forever and when I ask for a small cup for a drink since I had been waiting so long that was refused. I shall never eat there again. Times are tough and just to come home still scared to eat what they gave me because they were pissed is sad. Lesson learned $9.28 down the drain 😔 threw it away as well as my relationship with them.“

“I drove thru Bristol and thought I give this Wendy's a try.
The chicken sandwich was absolutely perfect, best I had anywhere in a long time. It also looked great, not just like somebody threw it together. Perfect.
The French Fries were perfect as well, crunchy, not too much fat taste, not too salty, perfect again. On my next pass thru Bristol, I will stop there again!!!“

“The Food was Great and the service was phenomenal. I'm from Milton Florida and I got hungry so we got off the highway and I'm so glad that we did because it was a wonderful customer experience.I hadn't ate at Wendy's in 10 years because the last time the service was bad.Thhis Wendy's I give a thumbs up & 5☆'s. I reccomend everyone to eat there. Thank you Tennessee“

“I went through the drive thru yesterday (7/3/26) around 6pm and received great service. The cashier that took my order was accurate, friendly and helpful. They were kind when I added on an M&M McFlurry at the payment window. I know, maybe I shouldn't have done that but I had forgotten to order at the speaker. I received the correct modifications to my burger and got all the sauces I asked for as well as an appropriate amount of napkins and did get the spoon and straw, some places forget those. I was pleased with my order and know that this is a location that I can return to for accurate and good service.“

“Clean, welcoming, fresh food, quick service!
Simply great experience! Parking was easy even with our big truck. Staff welcomed us as soon as we came in and were helpful and pleasant! Very clean restaurant. Food was all fresh and delicious! They even have the flavored lemonades which are a fantastic idea! We haven't seen that yet at Panda. Absolutely would recommend this Panda Express.

I read over the previous lower reviews and it seems that they were about people who would show up at 9:59 and be bothered they were closing or people who just didn't like this type of food. The other type of negative review were people who could have just asked the staff for help to fix minor things, but instead wanted to whine online! C'mon people!

Summary, this Panda was great and glad we came!

$47 for three plates (2 entree's + 1 side each) plus 2 fountain sodas and 1 flavored lemonade. Comes with fortune cookies!“

“Went and got some food around 1 AM the ladies that work night shift do the best job they take their time with the food. You can genuinely tell they care about making your meals. I think the only time I Will ever go to Taco Bell is this one at night time because they make the food so good taste like some homemade food it’s so good. Thank yall for being goated“

“Justin and Tina went above and beyond to make things right. I ordered pepperoni on the app and got home and they were cheese? The app must have glitched out and when I called and explained they remade the pizza no questions asked. Great crew great food.“

“Ordered online thru the app. Popeye’s Spicy Chicken is the best. Order was ready upon arriving, I was given a drink for free. Staff at the Bristol, Virginia location are very friendly and courteous! Store was exceptionally clean! Food was wonderful!“

“My grandbaby had such a blast here. Kids night is coming soon too!! So excited!!🥰“

“I got the lemon pepper salmon and it was probably the best salmon I’ve ever had in a while. The coleslaw wasn’t that good and the broccoli was too hard for my liking but other than that it was great. The women’s bathroom is clean and the service was awesome we had 10 people and the guy who took our order got everything perfect“
