Serious question- if I like Sheetz AND Wawa, will I also like Rutters? Would love to get a trifecta of taste going here.

I think so. Right now they're my top for hot food. It's not all microwaved or warmed up in buckets of water like a lot of Wawa food is now. Royal Farms has amazing chicken too.

I like that their bags are wax lined. They own up to the fact it's going to be greasy if you get a bag full of fried chicken. I've had sheetz bags rip through, I've used rutters bags as camp fire starter.

Wawa Mac & Cheese outweighs Sheetz’s hot menu. The only thing Sheetz has going for it is that they sell Cheerwine, my favorite soft drink.

Wawa worshiping customer. Sheetz has the Big Mos is a fried chicken sandwich with three fried mozzarella sticks with Marana sauce. Best fat food heart attack out there.

Royal farms used to have good chicken… idk ever since COVID hit their food quality dropped dramatically. Hmmm now that I’m vocalizing it maybe COVID just fucked my taste buds lol.

Rutters fried food is air fried and way better than both IMO.

Rutter's food (especially their fried food) is better than Sheetz imo. The big con working against them is their lack of an app to order online.

I never eat at Wawa's but from what I understand, their sandwiches probably beat out Rutters'

I think Rutters has quality, variety, and the ability to basically customize anything you order.

I prefer Rutters with Sheetz a close second.

You should, especially if you like milk. I like the $2.39 Cheesy Hash brown wrap and add all the veggies to make it look like a burrito. I used to love Sheetz' 6" Pepperoni hoagie for $2 many years ago. Most food workers are chill at Rutters, than the hectic-ness at Wawa or Sheetz.

Here’s the thing. I never knew what rutters was. I grew up with sheetz in western PA. When I went to the military and got stationed in Virginia, I found out what wawa was. Not a huge fan, but I get it. Then I transferred to northern Maryland and ended up living in south central PA.

Let me tell you. Rutters is the most amazing thing. When I built my own wrap, with chicken strips, local pork belly, bacon, and anything else I could imagine. I was sold. It’s like, home cooking. Honestly that’s how I feel about it. It’s not home cooking, I get it, but it’s just different than sheetz or wawa. My favorite forever.

Rutter's definitely has the best chocolate milk and iced tea out of those 3.

Also the BEST half and half, none other come close.

Rutter's has really stepped their game up over the past 6 years while sheetz has been kinda slipping.

Also I could be biased because when I lived in York county, I'd go to Rutters a lot because we didn't have a nearby Sheetz, and longed for a closer one. Now I'm in western PA and all sheetzed out, and long for Rutters. Try the corn fritters, they're pretty good. Also, Rutters breakfast burritos are way better than sheetz. Honestly, most things at rutters are better than sheetz.
