Erwin, Tennessee

This place popped up on the horizon just in time. The rain was pouring and visibility was low. I pulled off the highway to wait out the rain in a nearby parking lot…and there was Pal’s. They’re local, they have friendly staff, and the ingredients were very fresh! The tomatoes and lettuce on the ‘Big Pal w/Cheese’ was crisp and juicy, not soggy and wiggly like Burger King or McDonald’s. And! They have a drive thru! Pal’s is my Pal 🙌🏿🤣 …also, there’s a nice nature path next to it to walk off all that deliciousness for those of us who are ashamed of our ‘big-backness’ ❤️👋🏿
