My wife and I like to eat at the traditional "truck stops" as we travel. Not the big chain stops, but those that are local and charming in a rough hewn way
First of all, when we walked in the door of the grill, we were greeted by the woman behind the counter with a hearty "welcome.
Glad you are here. " I don't think I ever get a greeting like that from McDonald's or Burger King.
The place is very interesting....it has everything that a trucker is going to need: a restaurant and grill, adult beverages, an extensive minimart, restrooms and showers. But the pièce de résistance? It has coin laundromat.
I got the number two breakfast... Available 24/7. It was massive. In fact I took half of it with me wrapped up in a napkin when I left.
My wife got the quarter pound burger... Which has fresh lettuce. None of that bag stuff.
The restaurant has tables and chairs that are completely missed matched. That is a requisite for these kind of places. Tea curtains adorn some of the windows, a bookcase with homey items on it and an atmosphere that is not sterilized like the big chains.
There were only two negatives that kept me from giving it five stars: the coffee was weak and not flavorful like one would expect., Quite honestly, this is a requirement at a truck stop. Secondly, the bathrooms need to be upgraded and cleaned a bit. They were usable, but they need to be taken care of.
