Tubular food: We’re not sure what that magical rolling grill is called, but QT has theirs loaded up with an interesting assortment of rollable food. Hot dogs and taquitos? Check. Tube shaped cheeseburgers? Got it. But who came up with the loaded potato roller?
Deluxe sandwiches: No boring triangle cut sandwiches on white bread here—QT has deli worthy sandwiches. If the roast turkey sounds too boring, give the jalapeno and cheese sausage roll a try.
For the health nut: Avoiding grease and calories? Grab some fresh fruit or a yogurt parfait.
Carnivore cravings: Maybe you’re going low carb, or maybe you can’t disassociate gas stations with beef jerky. No matter, the QT Patch visited had a whole shelf dedicated to jerky of every flavor.
Sweet mercy: Looking for an icing covered breakfast treat, dessert or just a sweet pick-me-up? You can get a whole bag of Hostess donuts, a fresh pastry, or even a slice of red velvet cake.
