    I am with Sharp shooter, Lee HI is one of the best, Great food, not to mention all the old Metal card hanging from 50's and 60's. Food is Freaking awesome, the family that runs it are super people, and it is not known well enough to have been trashed, they keep it up real nice so Sharp shooter EDIT your post and remove the location So we can keep this one nice lol, play like ELmer Fudd We be huntin wabbits.

    JJ's on I-30 just west of Little Rock. Not quite as good as Hood's in Bois d'Arc, but it's still an old school truck stop.
