The Chow Hall

I've noticed that usually when you are on a main strip full of minimalls and grocery stores, there is often a Mom & Pop nestled along these roads. Unfortunately, sometimes you go in and find it's some El Cheapo with El Blando food.

 

nice little BBQ place across the street from the flyin hook in North Little Rock, truck parking there too (not for lowboys, and better not go more than 0.5 mph in the lot either)

 

Sounds more like the place across the street in Texarkana.

 

maybe it is, i get those 2 places confused since I rarely stop in that state.

 

There is a little place in Vandilla Illinios (don't know about the spelling) exit 63 on I-70 called the Chuck Wagon, It has been there a while but the food is pretty good. The truck parking is limited to about 10 trucks but if you are hungrey it is worth it.

 

You didn't include the first part of my post that mentioned a way to FIND those nice little mom & pop places. Around the south, it's what I look for when I'm on the road and don't want fast food.
I agree with your point though.

 

to find the good places got a lot easier with my little garmin.

I just hit a few buttons and tell it what kind of food I want and it just takes me right to their doorstep.
