    West of Wendover, NV a few miles on the north side of 80 is a little gravel lot truckstop. home made gravy serve yourself fresh biscuts. excellent!
    We stop there everytime we pass thru and they give a CDL discount!!!!!! 10% but every bit helps.
    Sorry I can't remember the name or exit for the place. Something like where the hell is Delle? Population you, so not on map or TS book
    In Wendover the Peppermill lot has free CDL showers too. Free is always good!
    take care out there!

    The Shell Truckstop formally Texaco in Texas on I-20 exit 270. They have home made biscuit and gravy. But I prefer their S.O.S.. Yes It's real S.O.S. with ground beef. The first owner was a military cook before in the 1950's. They make good hamburgers too with thick hand formed patties.

    From what I've heard, the entire breakfast menu is pretty good there. Been hearing some good things about Cindy's.

    There used to be (maybe still is) a restaurant in Pana, Ill at 51 and 16. The B+G was pretty good. This was some time ago though......

    Brintle's exit 100 on I-77 in NC. All around good food really, just don't expect much from the store itself but the restaurant is great.

    Im a big fan of Cindy's, I live locally to the area. Cant beat the prices and the food is darn good. She was in Lasalle il and moved to mendota a while back. I really wish there were more places like this out here on the road. And friday night all you can eat walleye for 8 bucks, cant beat it!!

    The "swing inn cafe" old town temecula, Ca. Parkings a ######, where isn't it in Ca. I-15 just north of san Diego county line. You can park off rancho Ca. road by motel 6 & hoof it south on main st you'll be glad you did! Then you can roll back to the truck. LOL

    Try Kroll's diner in Fargo. The secret is to park on the access road by walmart. Take exit 348 off I94, drive past the petro, and turn left at 13th Ave S. Take a right at the first street (it is 47th St SW). Park on that road. Walk toward the walmart garden center, look to your right & you will see Kroll's. It's open 24 hours. All the food is good, not just the biskits & gravy. Try the knoephla soup sometime. Their webpage is http://www.sitdownandeat.com

    Maybe you can drop your trailer at the Petro and bobtail there, I dont know if Petro is ok with that, I've never needed to do that, but it's not like you'll be gone long

    Surprised not to see any Georgia places on the list. Don't know if these are accessible via truck, but here goes:

    Restaurant: Silver Skillet, right off 14th and I-75 in Downtown Atlanta. Easily the best biscuits I have ever had. And not only do they have good white gravy, they also have delicious red eye gravy. The rest of their breakfast offerings are great, too. But I am not a fan of their lunch (Weekdays only). Mostly tastes canned so stick to breakfast, available all day.

    Fast Food: Hands down goes to Martin's, a small chain out of Austell, GA. They have several locations around North GA, mainly in more rural areas. But they do have one off I-85 and Jimmy Carter, very close to the best friend road area where there is a ton of truck activity. Their steak biscuit is the real deal, not a cheap frozen party like the chains use. Have that open faced with gravy on a biscuit and you are good for a few hours. They are well known for their breakfast biscuits and their is usually a line.

    Hope this helps! Sure miss my favorite eats out on the road, but I have found a few gems in the truck.
