Ontario CA, TA restaurant menu

If all truckstops did was "cater to the truckers", they would soon go out of business.
Truckstop restaurants have ALWAYS catered more to the local residents and 4-wheeler traffic.
I have been around the trucking industry; begining with truckstops since I was 5 years old.
And they didn't start out as "truckstops" either. They started out as local greasy-spoons with enough dirt out back for a few trucks to park.

 

unfortunately this will be found in many of the places you stop to eat. the meals are usually huge so hubby and i usually share a meal. this helps us to not ever eat and it cuts down on the expense as well. sometimes i just want a soup and sandwich meal, and those are becoming far and few between also, unless its the salad/soup bar with a sandwich extra.
besides all that i find the t/a country pride to not even be close to what it once was. the next time you are there, ask someone where the farmer boys with truck parking is. its been a long time since i have been there, but i remember them as having some of the best burgers, hot pastramis, and onion rings in the area. i know there is one near there with truck parking, i just cant remember what street it is on.

 

Farmer boys is at the NW corner of etiwanda & jarupa ave.

 

No one is tying you to a chair and whipping you if you don't finish your mashed potatos and gravy.....

 

You can still order sides a la carte, and I'm pretty sure you can still order soup or salad "to go" and the price is a little less.

If you don't like it, then go to the flying hook and give denny's your business. If I want three steaks and six eggs without spending $30, I'll go to a country pride.
