    Roadys motor Inn at the corner of US 127 & 33 in Mendon, Ohio is a good place to eat. The actual truck stop isn't much but the food makes up for it.

    There's a restaurant at GeeCee's Truck Stop I-5 exit 57 in Toledo, WA. I haven't eaten there yet but it's usually packed with locals if that's any indication.

    Jimmies Red Onion on I10 exit 256 in Florida is not bad plenty of parking. And.......it’s across the street from the Loves so you can go and purchase some midevil armor and other worthless Chinese made crap.

    Jimmie's and Red Onion were remodeled and can't be beat. A great Old World style truck stop with good service, good food and plenty of parking. I'll always stop when crossing I-10

    Best southern fried chicken I’ve had in a long time. Cooked fresh when ordered, so it takes 20 minuets, but worth the wait.

    I just had the meatloaf at Dixie the other day. It was disgusting.

    Well that’s a bummer, I don’t think I’ve tried that yet, I usually get the western burger or the buffet it’s always been good. I thought the breakfast was pretty good as well.
