    There is a casino in cali off of I-8 that has a good deal on prime rib. I can't think of what exit it is right now.

    I haven't been there in about ten years, but I checked online and they're still there.......

    Scotty's Restaurant in the Wilton Travel Plaza, Exit 16 (Ballard Road) off the I-87 Northway, Gansevoort, NY.

    Family owned, good food, good service. There's a sign in the door that says "No buses", and goes on to say they can't accommodate a busload of people in the restaurant, because it would displace the seats available for truckers.

    One of the last few old-school truck stops. Please show 'em some support if you're passing thru. Take the time to set-n-eat, you will be glad you did.

    Been a while but I-55 exit 19 in MO. Right next to pilot I think it's called Double Nickel. Really good, and reasonable BBQ.

    Homeskillet I couldn't agree with you more. This truly is one of the best truck stops anywhere especially in NY State. I have always felt appreciated here by the staff, the food was excellent and plenty of parking. They surely deserve our business and continued patronage.

    Grammas Kitchen - exit 284 off I-80 in Walcott, IA. It's right across from the Iowa 80 truck stop. Great food and service.

    I could be going out on a limb here. Because this was way back in 2001 when I was in truck driving school.

    But there was or is a place call Buckners at exit 201 off I-75 in GA on the west side of the hiway. A little ways past the flying J. They were good back then. But I'm not sure if they are still around. It's been 15 yrs since I last ate there

    10 miles from home. Haven't eaten there in a couple years but the food was always great. Main reason we haven't eaten there is because you have to go with a group or sit at the lazy Susan with strangers. Not always a bad thing but usually if it's just me and the wife we, well that wouldn't make for very good date time. I think the round table lazy Susan holds about 10 people and they always keep the dishes full. Pretty neat place.
