I had never been to Ohio before and what was the first place that I stopped after landing? Oh, it was Sheetz. Driving from Akron-Canton airport to my friend's hometown, we passed a Sheetz and I asked her what it was because it wasn't like any gas station that I had ever seen. She told me that it was, in fact, a gas station as well as a convenience store that does made-to-order food. After stopping to see her parents, sister, and niece, we were heading up to Cleveland, to her place, when we decided to grab something to eat for the road and pulled into the Sheetz in Ravenna.
I was completely awestruck. You order your food on a touch pad similar to the kiosk that you can get your movie tickets on at the theatre. There are SO MANY CHOICES. You can have a craving for just about anything and you'd be able to fulfill it at Sheetz. You can customize your order exactly how you want without fear of sounding overly picky, which I can, at times, due to having a lactose intolerance/allergy.
The selection is top notch. Hot or cold subs, deli sandwiches, salads, wraps, burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken sandwiches, nachos, burritos, fries, chicken strips, breakfast sandwiches, pizza, wings, and so on. I ended up getting a burger, some fries, and some buffalo sauce to dip my fries in. I cannot even begin to describe just how perfect this burger was. It seemed like it was straight out of a burger joint and not a gas station/convenience store. The same with the fries and the buffalo sauce. I could keep that sauce on tap in my kitchen.
And yes, native Ohioans, feel free to make fun of the girl that fell in love with your convenience store chain. read more
