    Found a pretty nice place to eat yesterday off the beaten path up in Nottingham PA, the Nottingham Inn. Lots of “hole in the wall” factor, as those tend to be the best places to eat.

    Miss Oxford diner on 10 right up the road from there is good too, haven't been there in a few years but you used to be able to pull around the back for parking, I imagine it's still the same way.

    Well, not just PA but all over.

    I’d love to see some off the beaten track places that some of you have been to.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker and x1Heavy Thank this.

    Just off US15 west side. Fairly recent more or less.

    You can get a semi in there. I can think of a couple of other places. But some have been buried by big box stores etc.

    Google Maps

    J & S Pizza II And Italian Restaurant 360 Midway Rd, Bethel, PA 19507 (717) 933-8020 Google Maps

    This was my favorite pizza place in Pennsylvania due to its easy accessibility both on and off I-78. And there was always parking between J & S and the Mobil station.

    Excellent pizza and strombolis.

    Kremmling, CO. Downtown a block off hwy.40.
    I was here the first official day for the mash to go in the still. Micro distillery, micro brewery and restaurant.

    It's not a truck stop. Just park along the road.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.

    I really can't where exactly these off the beaten track places were. I used have a gf in east PA, and we'd visit some pizza places because I wanted good, east coast pizza. We visited another good eatery near Doylestown. Others off 611. Once in Philly by myself.

    And somewhere on I-80 where there is a postage stamp Pilot and a Sheetz across the road, there is a good restaurant. Lots of knick knacks for travelers. Good food and service.

    I had another gf type in Oswego, NY, and we enjoyed many trips dining out. Both Cam's and Bridge street pizzerias were excellent. But Bridge street had the to-die-for cheesecake.

    Ruby Tuesday and the Chinese food joint was also good.

    On a non food topic, we took a trip to Niagara Falls and Fort Oswego in town, but I kick myself for never visiting Fort Ticonderoga. :oops:

    Then there's Dominic's in Syracuse. You'll need to bobtail to access this excellent dining establishment. Only been there once, but it was so good. I ordered their garlic pizza with pepperoni. Absolutely delicious.
