Oh Bimbos... Known by many to be one of the grossest gas station stops for travelers. Had to leave a review since they're aren't any recent ones. I will say it's cleaned up a tad since we last stopped a couple years ago. When you first walk in the strong smell of indian spices and onion hits you. Women's restrooms have four stalls, two are "out of order" and the other two don't lock, so bring a friend to hold the door for you! According to my husband the stalls in the men's restrooms don't have doors. read more

Stopped for gas and I was hoping for a sandwich during a long road trip. Nope. Oh well, I got a Jack links meat stick and builder protein bar. Back on the road folks! The women's stall was out of to but there was a roll on the floor. Our son reports there were racist rants on the men's room wall. Alrighty then, let's keep it moving. read more

Bimbos - Bimbo snacks - Fireworks Near Me - Lenoir City, Tennessee

Visit date 7/10/23 This is a BP gas station / convenience store, and an all around DUMP. The credit card readers did not work at the three pumps we tried before paying inside. The attendant was unapologetic. The bathroom was so gross (see the pics). It was messy but it was also dirty. You could tell it had not been cleaned in recent history. Hope this helps fellow yelpers, safe travels! read more

It's a gas station with fireworks and fried food. I'm not sure if that combination is a good thing. But, I suppose it might be a one stop shop if you are a hungry pyromaniac running out of fuel. As far as gas goes, they have BP/Amoco and the pumps are fairly new. The name, bimbos, is pretty ridiculous. But, overall, this isn't terrible for a stop along the interstate. read more

Bimbos - the front of a food court - Fireworks Near Me - Lenoir City, Tennessee

This place was filthy. The outside has tables and a spicy Indian restaurant that smelled nice. Next door was the store and gas station. We went inside and everything is dirty looking and the bathrooms for men and women were disgusting. No photos. I do not know how the employees are supposed to wash their hands. read more

If you find yourself out in the Lenoir City area, go fill your tank up with gas and go inside and check out this delicious deli, it's called Bimbo's. Many people are familiar with it because of the huge fireworks store they also have located in this gas station. It's literally right off of the interstate and it was one of the first establishments built off this exit decades ago. So some people may think bologna or hot dogs are nasty, but I love a good hot dog, and being from the south I love fried bologna. I seriously was blown away and had my very 1st deep fried hot dog loaded with chili, mustard and onions at this place. Hands down the best hot dog I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. They also specialize in Fried Chicken, and it's pretty dang good too. They are open 24 hours a day but fried chicken starts at 9:30am and ends around 8pm. Once again this place is added to my list under Knoxville's Best. So if you are in the area seriously go check them out, and have Andrea make you the most delicious hot dog of your life!! Cheers & Enjoy! read more

Cleaning up the place would be a good improvement. The food smelled good, but I didn't know if I could trust the kitchen after seeing how the bathroom looked. read more

Nasty. Stopped for gas and restroom, but walked out as soon as we saw the state of the ladies restroom. Crap everywhere. Not one of the toilets was usable. They clearly do not care. Smelled like curry. read more

I went to this pig sty and it was filthy the bathroom was nasty toilet paper on the floor body fluid and feces on the toilet even the sinks had either food or vomit in them to be honest I only used it because I had held my urine for a while traffic was a little backed up, these owners obviously don't have a clue about cleanliness, the adjacent eatery was not looking to promising complete FILTH read more

Don't waste your time coming to this place. False advertisement, they will you in and then there's no merchandise for the discounts that they claim to offer horrible customer service. read more

Nasty bathroom, comodes stopped up, lacks toilet paper, no hand towels or air dryer....

We've stopped in here a few times on our way home from Dollywood. It's not the greatest but I kinda like it for some reason. If you're traveling south out of Knoxville this place is located at the first exit south of the I-75 and I-40 split. Which, in my opinion makes it great. Stopping here allows me to get through Knoxville traffic and stop at a place it's decent restrooms and it isn't very crowded. The fireworks in the store could go in my opinion but I guess these firework stores are popular. I just think it could be a separate store. Makes the rest of the store feel like a warehouse. Anyway, stop in and give it a try. read more

Bimbos - Be sure to pick up your hand made designs by BJ. - Fireworks Near Me - Lenoir City, Tennessee

If I could rate this place a negative number, I would. This is the worst gas station i've ever been to. Isn't up to code at all and is extremely unsanitary. The bathrooms are barely functional as they are covered in feces, meanwhile the worker said she hasn't had a day off in months. They don't look like they've ever been cleaned and I was gagging in the parking lot, KEEP DRIVING. read more

Don't bother!! Highly disgusting! I told the clerk and he just shrugged. Most unsanitary bathroom I've seen

I would give this place zero stars if I could. The entire place is disgusting. Most of the toilets and urinals (both restrooms) are out of order or are disgustingly unusable (and I grew up using outhouses as a Girl Scout). There was no soap in the restrooms, no hand sanitizer in the dispensers, and the floors/walls were grimy and black in many spots. The entire place smelled of rancid fry oil and feces. Avoid at all costs. read more

The best fried chicken! When we walked in, everyone eating looked up. It was so quiet. I was thinking "we must stick out". But actually it was silent because everyone was stuffing their face! You won't find healthy food here. Everything is deep fried, even the corn on the Cobb. I enjoyed eating two fried chicken breasts. I just took most of the skin off and had a few bites of the fried goodness! Wow! A 2 piece meal plus two sides, drink and a huge biscuit was just over $5! And get your choice of Coke or Pepsi products! read more

I had to give 1 star to post this but they should have a minus rating for this place. This used to have the best food & employees but now they are rude, disrespectful & just downright nasty to ppl that are the reason they are even still in business. The food used to be great, I went there a lot now I'm not sure I would give the now the food to a dog it is so bad & the smell is awful. read more

Disgusting place overall. Bathrooms were filthy. Horrible. Gas pumps barely works. No receipts are pump of course. DO NOT STOP HERE

The biscuits and chicken were fine but i ordered a burger for my gf and i waited every bit of 40 minutes for this burger from the time i placed the order. They were not busy at all when we walked in and had 4 people after us in and out of the store before we even seen them put the burger on the grill. They also forgot the mayo. read more

Stopped here to buy a coffee, we aren't from here. The lady was very rude when I asked if they had a bathroom she said 'Can't you see the restroom sign?". The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, no soap left in container and paper towel out of machine and left wet on sink. To top it off, the coffee tastes like water. Awful! read more
