We have their food often and always are very impressed. They are always so nice when we order and pickup the food, we went there one time and the guy in the window was so understanding and asked if we could have the cookies we offered, since we are celiac and he didn’t know if they were gluten free so he went and checked. For all of your who are gluten free you know how amazing it is to have people who are accommodating serve you. We have always had good experiences here and don’t have to worry that I will feel bad after to any extent.

They can make the entire menu gluten free - unless you substitute pasta for your chips or get a hot dog bun. It’s a great local gf fast food option! Frito pie, baked potatoes, nachos, hot dogs. Not healthy, but yummy

Everything is Gluten-free except for the pasta, cookies and hot dog buns. Everything is clearly marked on the menu. Easy small menu to order from. Felt very safe eating here. Was delicious. I got the original petros cup and a side of chips and queso.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is such a hidden gem. It’s part of a Love’s gas station and is totally worth stopping for. Nearly everything on the menu is gluten free (and labeled clearly as such!) except for a handful of things, such as the pasta petro. I got a small original petro and it was more than enough food for me for lunch. Skip the picnic lunch in the car and work a stop at Petro’s into your trip instead.

This restaurant is a great stop for a quick meal if you're traveling on I40 and need a place to stop for a gluten free meal

Located inside a very clean gas station. Only place we found for miles with GF options on a road trip. Plenty of gluten free options clearly marked on the menu! My celiac fiancée ordered the chicken nachos and said they were really good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is the one place that I don’t even have to mention that I have celiac. I can order nearly anything on the menu like a normal person! They change their gloves if they ever touch a bun or pasta. They never touch utensils to different foods. If you do feel like taking more precaution by asking questions, they are always more than willing to answer without the bad attitude I find other places.

Gluten free items marked on menu. All Petro bowls, except for pasta, are gluten free. All nachos and giant baked potatoes are gluten free, as well. My daughter and I, both being gluten intolerant, definitely have some tasty options.

I am also vegetarian. TWICE NOW they have “accidentally” topped my nachos or other dishes with BEEF chilli. I do NOT trust them to not pay attention enough to ensure i have no cross contamination for gluten.

The manager is extremely rude and was a B to me for wanting different food after they gave me meat!!!!!! Horrible woman, terrible establishment.

The food here may be listed as gluten-free but beware of cross contamination!!!

We eat here on an all too regular basis 😀 we love it and I’ve never gotten sick. Everything EXCEPT the noodles, hot dog buns and cookies is gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is gluten free except the noodles

Really enjoyed the food! 😊

No bean gf chili fan favorite for me. Nachos good as well. Been here a lot and no problems.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff could not be more friendly! Most of the menu is GF. Great comfort food or cold weather options. I will be back for sure!

Great chili and tea with a hint of orange!

I love having so many choices! The petro potato is my fav. It's huge and delicious!

There is a clear gluten free menu online. GF chili bowl (Fritos, chili, cheese, green onions, sour cream, olives), baked potatoes (same toppings, nachos (same toppings), and hot dogs. You can also add chicken or pulled pork. It was yummy.

Love all the options!!!! Gf marked on menu.

Interesting take on the coney... Frito's tomatoes and chives.

Petro's has put a GF symbol next to each menu item that is safe.
