Chicken salad on a potato roll & Mac and Cheese
Annette B.

Everything is great about this place! It's a bit off the beaten path, but worth the extra time to get there from I-40. We were greeted by the owner and he told us about the specials and the menu. The restaurant is bright, clean, and open. We were there for an early lunch on a Tuesday, so not crowded. No loud noise (my pet peeve in a restaurant) either. The food was really good. I had chicken salad on a toasted potato roll with a side of creamy Mac and cheese. It was more than I could eat. In fact, I could've done just the Mac and cheese and been full. If you're in the area and looking for an unassuming and friendly spot to eat some great food, definitely stop at the cafe.

Tired of chain restaurants, we took a short trip off I-40. Large variety of sandwiches to choose from. Upon the staff recommendation, my husband ordered the May Sandwich served on a delicious potato roll with a salad of tomato, cucumber and red onion. He ate every last bite. I ordered the Rueben with chips. Very good. The corn beef was of good quality. Very clean restaurant and restrooms. The staff recommended sandwiches were excellent. Apparently they are known for their "melts". We will have to try them next time. You would miss it if you didn't know it was there. Pepsi products. Excellent choice for our late lunch.

Burger and side of macaroni salad

This place was pretty awesome as a quick lunch spot! It is such an unassuming place but extremely popular as a road trip stop. We got to try a sample of the pimento cheese, and yeah, it was good! I got the burger, and it was deliciously filling. Very casual indoor seating, but it was enjoyable and worth a visit!

Grandpa's recipe pimento cheese

Wow, what a road side gem! Seriously, if you are in the area you need to try out the Long Road Cafe. Located outside Crossville in the Mayland community, this cafe is amazing. They nailed it in guest service and quality! My Dad and I stopped in for lunch expecting the traditional hot dogs, hamburgers and fries--typical greasy spoon fare. Which to be honest would have been fine. However, we discovered some interesting menu items. We both opted for Bruce's Bomber: roast beef, bacon, smoked Gouda, lettuce, onion and chipotle mayo on a soft potato roll. For our sides, I selected potato salad and Dad chose a fresh tomato and cucumber salad. I am reluctant to admit it but the potato salad rivaled my Grandmother's. It had to be a family recipe. It definitely wasn't the usual crap restaurants serve and call potato salad! Our sandwiches were served hot with a helping of amazing. Those warm soft potato rolls were incredible. Dad said the tomato salad was very good too. Before our food arrived a friendly lady brought us over a sample of pimento cheese to try. As she sat it down, she said, "this is our homemade pimento cheese following Grandpa's original recipe. As we enjoyed our meal, I asked the chef, Bruce about the building. Turns out Bruce is the owner. He joined us for a few minutes and shared some of the community's history and how a no restaurant experience couple ended up owning the Long Road Cafe. Great guy, an Air Force veteran, and interesting too. As we were leaving, Bruce was checking his smoker outside and offered us a meatball. Although stuffed, I could not resist. Once again the taste was heavenly. Great people, great food and no pretentiousness. Who could ask for more!

A group of us had a great lunch at LRC after a round of golf. Fresh and tasty sandwiches! They have beer available as well as soft drinks. Seldom do I find a Deli/Sandwich shop that earns a perfect score but this is definitely one of them. Give them a try- you'll be glad that you did.

Gotta stop and have some lunch - hidden gem .

It's off the beaten path .. worth driving a few miles off the freeway to eat at the long road cafe ...

This place is huge, bright & clean with the best restrooms! We had a late lunch at our friends' house and stayed awhile catching up. By the time we got to Buc-ee's we were hungry again. We bought a BBQ Turkey Sandwich, BBQ Brisket Sandwich, Chicken Tenders with fries and 2 Bucee's Chips, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Coconut Cream Pudding. Everything was excellent! The staff are very friendly and hospitable!

The store was clean, everything was well stocked, and even with plenty of people coming through, the service was fast and organized. That's one thing I like about Buc-ee's. They can be extremely busy but somehow keep everything moving. I got the North Carolina BBQ sandwich, and I loved it. My wife enjoyed hers too. The food is one of the main reasons we stop at Buc-ee's instead of a regular gas station. There are so many options, and I really like seeing the new food and snack choices they continue to put out. Every time we stop, it seems like there is something different to try. The selection of Buc-ee's snacks, popcorn, crackers, jerky, sweets, and other items makes it hard to walk out with only what you came in for. Another thing I love is the cheap fountain drinks. When you're traveling and making several stops along the way, it's nice being able to grab a big drink without paying ridiculous prices. Of course, the bathrooms are another huge plus. They were clean and well maintained, which is something Buc-ee's has built its reputation on and one of the reasons it makes such a good road trip stop. Plenty of gas pumps, clean facilities, good food, tons of snacks, quick service, and just about anything you could need while traveling. Buc-ee's is more than a gas stop for us. It's usually part of the road trip. We'll definitely continue stopping whenever there's one along our route.
