Cool Stops with Good Eats

Sometimes I find a place in a obvious place, but never stop because I don't fuel there. Today I was at my 10th hour and didn't want to stop at the J in Ashland, KY.

In Charleston, WV on the West side of the river on the 64/77 the is a convenience store called "gomart". You can see the sign in the sky with bright red and green numbers indicating the price of fuel. There are about 30+ parking spots, price of diesel is average, but there are restaurants everywhere in easy walking distance.

This place is getting a star on my Google map

IHOP
McD's
Texas Roadhouse
Bellacino's Pizza
Bob Evans
Texas Steakhouse and Saloon
Subway
Lone Star Steakhouse
El Patron Mexican Bar & Grill
Wal-Mart 4 miles to the North


There are a couple of auto parts stores, a few motels, K-Mart, a laundromat 1.3 miles away, and a VA outpatient clinic nearby.

 

Big Charlie's Truck Plaza Inc
5792 Northhampton Blvd
Virginia Beach, VA

This truck stop was probably nice in it's day, but it's a bit run down now. $10 to park for 24 hours, but I don't think anyone checks.

I found many ethic restaurants with in walking distance. Darn near everything you can think about. I wouldn't go out of route for this place, but if you need to stop in Norfolk area, I would come here.

Avoid Frank's Trucking Center on the South-West side. That place moves a bunch of fuel, but there isn't anything there except their own very average nothing to talk about restaurant. Gravel lot and lots of dust :cough:

 

WalMart is 4 miles away on the North side of the highway. There's always a WalMart nearby
