    NO! R Place is still at the TA and they aren't going anywhere... That in my opinion is the best truck stop restaurant in the US hands down... They get more locals that eat in there then drivers, that's how you know they are good... Any other TA you go in almost has NO locals that's how you know they are terrible... R Place is the only TA I eat at... Ive heard TA bought the Lee High travel plaza in Virginia but I don't run east anymore but they used to have a pretty good place to eat there.

    Pre TA, you weren't putting your life at risk by walking across the parking lot. The amount of 3 week wonders speeding through the lot is crazy these days.

    Sorry didn't mean to confuse the restaurant name with the truck stop. The restaurant is still there, under the same management as always has been. From what I understand the couple sold the property, shop, store but wife insisted that she still keep the restaurant. I'm so happy she did :thumbup:
     
    TruckDuo and ZVar Thank this.

    joseph, you think pilots are great and t/a are junk. makes no sense something had to happen to traumatize you in this manner. did someone close to you run away with a t/a manger or som?ething

    Another wonderful experience at TA. After not even looking their way for months, I decide to stop in at the one in OKC. Scumbags. Go to order breakfast "no we ain't got that, we ain't got this, nope ain't got that". Then why the #### is it on your menu? Thanks for reaffirming my belief that you're the biggest scumbags on the interstate.
     
    HalpinUout Thanks this.

    Easy fix to eating out... Ask what do they have on the menu. Just because its on the menu doesn't mean its available.
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.
