this is for the old timer's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clovis NM has Cook's Restaurant on the east side of town along US 60/84. Absolutely still fabulous; have been going there over 25 years. They have the old town photos. Numerous pictures of cowboys, branding, ranching and (of course) old trucks! Super food; waitresses are still human and not robots. You get a great meal for a great price. And the sound of the BNSF railroad across the highway also adds to the atmosphere. Filled with old timers and young folks. Tradition is still alive and well here. Cook's Restaurant, Clovis NM!

 

I stopped at the Queen City last night. I was disappointed. The food was still fair, but the staff was rude and unpleasant. It’s probably not long for the world if that keeps up.

 

Speaking of New Mexico, I liked Virgies on the west side of Gallup on old Rt 66.

 

I'll be stopping back at Queen City this May when we go back on the road with the RV and I hope it hasn't gone down hill. Maybe it was just that one waitress who was having a bad day. I hope so because the great Mom & Pop's are becoming few and far in between

 

I remember those days. Be a kid out there with 2 pumps running in each tank while he made modern art out of bug guts on the glass. We used to tip them to just leave the glass alone.

 

Roadrunner retreat along old US 66 near Cadiz, CA
Hanks Truck Stop in Essex, CA (first got antenna Tv in 1976)
Former Bingo truckstop in Yermo, CA
There was an old Whiting Bros truck stop in Yucca, AZ
Vidal Junction , CA has a service station, old restaurant and motel behind it
Flag Truck Center in Flagstaff, AZ used to be a truck stop as well, now a truck repair center
Thats all the former ones I think can of that I've been by that I can think of at the moment

 

If you saw that place when it was open, you have been around a while!!

 

I wish I could've seen them in their heyday, ive been by whats left of it, fuel islands and a couple signs and the foundations, theres an intact WB in Moriarty, NM still
