    What is up with truck stops having fast food places instead of sit down restaurants? I used to love going down to the Flying J when I was living in Abilene, TX to get a good breakfast on Sat. morning. Now I'm living in Mountain Home, ID and all we have is a Pilot with an Arby's in it. There's no other 24hr restaurants in town except Jack-in-the-Box. What's a guy supossed to do when you are hungry at 3 in the morning. Do you all think it is better to have fast food or the traditional restaurant at the truck stops?

    Depends..if I'm in a hurry and want something lite, I go for the fast food! But if coming in late and havnt had a good meal all day, will opt for the restaurant and a big breakfast to sleep on!! Many 'truck plazas' have both!:biggrin_25526:

    Most of the time I will grab something quick in the morning, a sandwich at lunch, but at the end of the day I want to sit down and relax. I look for a place to have one hot meal before I shut it down for the night. Tonite it will probaly be the "garden of eden" out side od twin falls Id. exit 183 I belive. Have a good ride where ever you are!!

    I don't go to Peelot or Loves bevause of this. I keep food on the truck for a quick bite and hit the Flying Dump or the T/A for a sit down....for some reason I am not a fan of the Iron Skillet....but I will still eat there over Pilot any day of the week.
