The battle of the best convenience store food in Pennsylvania usually comes down to Sheetz vs. Wawa, with the results generally split based on geography.

Now the food at Sheetz is in the running for national recognition.

Altoona-based Sheetz is one of 19 finalists for USA Today’s best regional fast food chains. Sheetz has more than 600 stores throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina. Through Tuesday morning, Sheetz had the second-most votes behind Pal’s Sudden Service, a fast food chain located in Tennessee and Virginia.

Quaker Steak & Lube is the only other local contender, with Pennsylvania locations spanning from PNC Park, PPG Paints Arena and Robinson all the way to Erie and State College.

The other nominees include:

Biscuitville Blake’s Lotaburger Bojangles Famous Chicken ‘N Biscuits Cook Out Culver’s Golden Krust Habit Burger Hattie B’s Hot Chicken In-N-Out Burger Krystal PDQ Runza Schoop’s Hamburgers Skyline Chili Whataburger Zippy’s

Voting (just one per day) takes place here and ends at noon April 12. The top 10 winners will be announced April 23.
