The highest possible rating a Sheetz can receive goes to this brand new location on Gate City Blvd in Greensboro. Why only 4 stars? Well, I am still angry about the affront to good taste levied by them against the entire southern United States when they took away fresh brewed tea, and put "Gold Peak" in its place. Since that happened, I visit Sheetz about 10% as much as I used to, because the ability to stop in for a fresh tea in my travels was so nice. McDonald's has since scooped up the honor of my quickie tea, and probably that of others. This has cost Sheetz more than just the price of a tea... it has led to less fill-ups, snacks, everything. I hope they will reconsider.
And honestly... Gold Peak? It's entire name is an antonym.
Anyway, rant over.
Other than my personal vendetta, this new design Sheetz has employed is fantastic. It all makes sense. The cafe area being near where you order, and also where you'd stop for a quick sit to eat. The counters for food and coffee both look very attractive. The staff here is new, but very pleasant as they get used to their new jobs.
There is a beer cave at this location, and of course the requisite walls of canned and bottle bevvies. Plenty of snacks for your taste, lots of coffee, and the aforementioned "made to order" food items. On this day, it was a strange time of day, and I had not had a thing to eat.
I didn't want to totally spoil dinner a few hours later, so I wanted a cheap snacky value meal thing. Their hot dog combo is very plain, but reliable. It now comes with two (very small, but not quite mini) hot dogs, 5 chicky nuggies because they do that now, and a very small fry... plus a fountain beverage. That's a deal at 5 bucks but you dont get to customize anything. You'll get mustard and ketchup on the hot dog like a child, sorry if you like anything else. No customization.
The food was hot and fast, and tasted decent, which is absolutely the ceiling of my expectations here. This location is very near my house, and I would visit much more often if SHEETZ WOULD BRING BACK FRESH BREWED TEA. read more
