The unique truck stop if there is one left

Sounds like the Garden of Eden truck stop in Eden, Idaho. Formally known as the Travelers' Oasis.

 

Old thread I know but...
I recall so many great truckstop thru the years but the majority don't exist or have been bought out and turned into chain stops, like a target or home depot, each one laid out the same.
The old 76 in Tucumcari. Where I used to take my first nap headed to the west coast.
The old triple H in Murdo SD.
The old Skelly in Belle Fouche.
The old truck stop in Emporia,KS. I think it's a J now.
The Boondocks north of Des Moines.
There used to be a great stop and restaurant on the east side of Nebraska City when 2 ran thru town and crossed the old skinny bridge.
The Eagleville truckstop and cafe in MO.

Can't recall the name but the truckstop that was on the north side of hwy 9 in Elizabeth or Edison, NJ, probably been closed since the 80s. Used to deliver Ford parts in Mahwah? or Edison and was a convenient place to park and eat.

At some point there will be no more full service 24 hour restaurants in truckstops and that is sad to me.

 

The one you mentioned in Nebraska City was the old Crossroads, right? If so, unfortunately that is now a Pilot. But the good news is that the Eagleville, Missouri truck stop still exists and is popular as ever. The restaurant is called the Dinner Bell.

 

Penn can exit 217 on 81 in pa. Oversize parking on the NB ramp
Binghams exit 211 on 81.....awesome homemade pies
Scotty's at Wilton exit 16 off 87

 

The 104 store in Ny where 370 and 104 meet. Small mom and pop with decent parking for a few dozen and great food, especially their bacon egg and cheese on a bagel

 

The last Truck Stop I can remember being in was the Petro at Mebane NC. That was coming home from my last visit to Georgia. I have no idea what today's state of the TS is. I do know when they took the "Tommy Gun" out and the "croc" down, (My guess is some will understand what that means some won't) something inside me told me the age of the TS that really catered to a driver was over! That age is over I suspect. Most likely will never return.

 

Jersey is (or at least was) the diner capital lots of diners that can fit a handful of trucks. But due to blow-vid who knows how many will be left

 

Clinton Truck Stop
Hampton, NJ

Corned beef hash to die for, but you have to have two eggs, lightly fried, thrown on top.

 

Jersey does some really good pork roll too Lol can't get that here at home in pa

 

There's only one pork roll, and it's Taylor.
