Food at Truck Stops - Some Questions

fast food is the norm
as you get used to your locations sometimes you find better eats
petro has full service restaurants

 

Yes, many good diners; Mom & Pop and also some of the bigger chain truckstops have good sitdown meals. I really like the Petro buffet, Iowa 80 , etc. Keep a little notebook and write down the Mom & Pop places w/exit numbers, etc. Get the information from other truckers on the CB radio, billboards, etc. Yes, one can eat healthy as a trucker. Sometimes you may be at a truckstop with just fast food, but if you look across the street, there is a good place to get a healthy meal.

 

Don't count to much on " mom and pop" places.

 

I like to stop in at the larger grocery stores. The prepared food they have is usually healthier and I often get stuff to make in the truck.

 

"Fuel" stops, such as Pilot and Loves, have fast food. "Truck" stops, such as TA, Petro, Sapp Bros and "Mom and Pops", usually have sit down resturants and many offer both.

 

a bunch have subway. you can eat good there.

 

Do you know how old and boring that gets? I'd rather die.
