Stateline Truck Stop in Neelyville, MO has the round table for drivers only in their restaurant. It's on Hwy 67 at the MO and AR state line.

 

Mass 10 Truck Stop "The Dump" Auburn Massachusetts.

 

Stockman's truckstop
South St. Paul, MN off of 494

And because its so nasty its kinda cool.
The Walt Whitman in Philly.

White's in Raphine, VA
I fueled and took a shower the other day. The shower is bigger than the bathroom in my house. Beats the heck out ofa Pilot.

 

I personally like Brintles, ex 100 I 77 mt airy,NC. Good food, and very trucker-friendly and oriented. Great Coconut-Cream Pie.

 

@ good ones here in my neck of the Carolinas that I frequent.

The Derrick Travel Center exit 71 I 85 Salisbury, NC Good Food, and still pretty much caters to the driver.

Bills Truck Stop exit 86 I 85 Lexington, NC

GREAT breakfast, Good diesel prices, and the guys in the shop there are super nice.
Stop in and have breakfast with the NC Highway Patrol. What a sight to see.

 

I spent a weekend there once. Friday holiday placed left early. Was suppose to be a drop and hook, but no emptys. Was there till Monday Morning. Not a bad trucksop. I went upstairs and watched the race. Decent food there. They was telling me that years ago that upstairs was a cat house run by the local law enforcement. All the rooms were vacant. Looked like they had not been used in years. I did my laundry there. All and all it wasn't a bad truckstop. Not a lot of parking, but there was a couple of vacant spots there.

 

Pioneer Halsey, OR, off the I-5 , lots of parking, round table seating, old school waitresses with a bar. GA Pacific is there, so lots of paper loads headed all points.


Down Town CleElum, WA. Lots of parking, great old place with truckers and old timer's galore.

The Fruit Stand, off 395 just north of Tri-Cities Wa. No fuel, but lots of parking round back. Best food.

Bill's is the best. What is that one truck stop, I26W right across the border in NC. Its before the weigh station. It has the best pork tenderloin.

 

The star travel center in Bowie texas on 287/174 is just a regular fuel stop with all the usual stuff,but in the same building is the Armadillo grill which has some of the best steaks I've ever eaten.Friendly people,and no frills type place.
