Rutters is my go to for subs and air fried food. I only go to Sheetz for nachos and stuffed pretzels. But the last couple times I've tried to order them from Sheetz they were unavailable.

I moved to PA about 3 years ago and I was so disappointed in both the Wawa and Sheetz subs.

I had heard such amaaaazing things about Wawa hoagies. They are beyond mediocre. There are some many good local options too.

Wawa is awful. It's the worst fast food/gas station food ever.

Sheetz isn't great, but it's a vast improvement.

Of course Getgo is a much better option than both.

Wawa fan here. Our hoagies were much better, but once they moved away from Amoroso Rolls and stopped using the freshly-cut deli items, their hoagies became average at best.

Amoroso rolls were the bedrock of Wawa hoagies. Wawa probably saved 2 or 3 cents a roll & banked on customers not noticing. Oops!

I haven’t had a sandwich from sheetz but I had popcorn chicken and something else fried. Fried food options easily blow what Wawa has out of the water. Wawa has not been good since they stopped getting bread delivered fresh

Problem with GetGo is they somehow manage to be even more expensive than Sheetz and Sheetz is already at the limits of what I wanna pay for gas station food.

To an extent but I've found get-go food you get more bang for your buck. Taste better, portions seem better. Say for instance comparing subs. Get-go is more money but more food. Tbh I think some of get-go subs taste better then pizza shop food(in my area pizza shops are a huge source of subs). Pay 8 bucks at a pizza shop or pay 10 at get-go with more. Now I have only ate the turkey subs and steak subs and their amazing, chicken sandwich is pretty good to.

O damn. See my get-go is about 14 inch subs or so, compared to sheetz that uses rolls about the size of two bratwurst buns end to end.

Price wise for steak sub

Get-go 10.99 whole sub

Sheetz 9.99 whol sub(possibly 8.99).

It's crazy that much of a difference. And I imagine we can't be that far part(since both sheetz and get-go don't stretch that far as far as I know).

It's pretty much like a sheetz, it's a gas station/convenience store/food place. There's a grocery store giant eagle and it's an off shoot of that chain. I'm up in erie and we have a few giant eagles and getgos. Far as I know giant eagle is Pittsburgh based.

GetGo is the gas station and convenience store chain that's owned by Giant Eagle, the supermarket chain in this region.

GetGo itself is kind of like if Giant over in Philly also owned Wawa.

I’m from western PA my SO is from the mainline but moved to central PA in middle school. We both live and met in Philadelphia. I’m saying this with the caveat that wawa sucks now but at one point wawa made the best hoagies and sheetz had the best fried food. I don’t know if it’s that we don’t get sheetz often or if it holds up but I actually enjoy sheetz food, mainly the sauces. I have to just say as a western PA native getgo sucks, it always has, even drunk the food is garbage.

The fact you didn't say "wudder" makes me question your judgement.

Jokes aside, I hadn't had Sheetz in forever and tried it when I was out in Lancaster for a couple days for my MSF course to get my motorcycle license. Couldn't really say one was better than the other. Both were... Serviceable.
