    Moe's is good but a little spendy, depending on what you get..

    The TA in Coachella has always been odd, its the security guards.. They scare people off.. Try the casino

    I did not see any.security guards at the TA in. Coachella but they sure did have quite a few at the one in Ontario the other day. None of.them carried firearms so they aren't very scary. Over the last two weeks i stopped at the Petro and Loves in Shorter Alabama on I-85. Both truck stops have 24/7 armed guards. Must not be a very nice area to live in.​

    And a Chipolte too. I park at the J and walk over.

    Better restaurants has been my constant rant for a long time. Chipolte has darn near every restaurant they open with lines out the door. People love that place, I do. Moes is good too. I've never met a trucker who was begging for more Wendy's. It seems the demand is there.

    I think the tire buster fills in as a cook when it gets slow at more and more of these places.

    Rubber greasy eggs and hash browns that taste like burnt oil.

    Nobody wants to eat that, they did it to themselves.

    The quality of TA and Petro varies so much from place to place it's ridiculous.
    That one in Coachella has always closed early but the food sucked when I did get there in time to eat there.

    dang....after reading all the replies I got my hopes up that Country Crack was closing at ALL TA's! DANG.....guess not. Personally, I think Iron Skillet blows Country Pride away, by a long shot! Last 2 times I had Country Pride, I ordered a steak....once for breakfast, with eggs....and the other time for dinner. BOTH TIMES the steak tasted like it was freakin' boiled! I demanded my money back and just went across the street to a fast food joint, yeah.....kinda sucked having to do that....but I'm not gonna chew and puke in front of others to show how much the food tastes like utter garbage! I agree with the earlier post about eating a TV Dinner! Gimme a HungryMan and I'll eat that over Country Pride ANYDAY!

    The one in Atlanta has armed guards too, but the con artists always manage to sneak in knocking on doors and begging

    I got steak and eggs at the ta just south of Saginaw Michigan that tasted like it had been marinated in toilet bowl cleaner. I just left it and escaped with my life
