    I-40 Exit 87 in Jackson, TN. Across from the Loves. Gotta love the American entrepreneurial spirit. Guy makes good BBQ. Humans have to pay. Dogs get free food.....sad part is they get the better meat lol

    He sold it to a private equity. Was shocked. Good thing is they plan on opening more locations....slowly.

    Love their italian beef(best in town in my opinion), chili dog, char-burger, salads and cant forget the milkshake.

    @chopper103in, where did you used to live ? I live by Barrington & Higgins. Those two places are down the street. Francos is awesome.

    @HalpinUout, you like Portillos ?

    You're thinking of the BP at exit 93. Had the Indian restaurant. Long gone, burned down last year. They knocked down what was left and fenced it.

    I stopped at the Love's in Sparta, KY to take my break, fuel and try the barbecue place next door, Hog Wild Pig Crazy.

    I parked and walked over, intending to pull up behind a truck fueling after I got my pulled pork sandwich and eat while the guy in front of me got McDonalds, jerked off or did whatever drivers do when they should be fueling..

    It smelled promising as I walked up. I ordered one sandwich. Asked for sweet and tangy sauce.

    Got my sandwich, pulled behind a mega and proceeded to eat.

    Disappointing.

    The meat was dry and rather flavorless. It was small too, $6 for a sandwich the size of exit 87's regular sized sandwich with less meat.

    And it was dry in another way. No sauce. At least none that I could taste.

    It's rare I give a thumbs down but I do. I think the only other place I have was that Chinese place in Lietchfield, IL that gave me food poisoning.
