Virtually every rider coming into Alaska, or leaving via the Alaska Hwy, will stop here going and/or coming. Very good food, good service, decent prices (for Alaska), and right on the Alcan. If you like seafood, order the deep fried halibut, it's excellent. They have the best deep fried mushrooms I've ever tasted. Their sandwiches are huge, and delicious.

Benedikt's is located on County Hwy 27 on the mountain between Springville and Oneonta. Two German sisters own the restaurant. It is buffet style fresh home cooked food. All the vegetables are fresh and not from a can. They also have a great bakery. It is all you can eat and you serve yourself. When I mean serve yourself, you get everything yourself. Cash or check only. No debit or credit cards. About $10-12 per person. The outside appearance is not that great. This is just a hole in the wall type restaurant with great atmosphere.

This is the best Bar-B-Q in Northern Alabama!! Their people welcome you in with warm friendly smiles :-) I have eaten there a lot over the last 20 years. I have found no B-Q place that can stand up to them. It's really good & if you give them a try you will prefer them to any other. They have chicken, turkey, beef, pork & there Brunswick stew is out of this world!! So if are ever in the Huntsville - Decatur area & want some really good B-Q then this place is the one for you & your family :-) [Another reviewer adds:] Order anything BBQ... Great sauces to go with your order... This place has won many BBQ awards...

Bogue's is a meat and three buffet style place. They also offer breakfast. The Bogue's in the listing is the original Bogue's. There is also two more locations in the Birmingham area. One on Oxmoor Road in Homewood and one on Hwy 280 in North Shelby county in the Inverness area. Great food for very little money at all three locations

Bruce's is a meat and three buffet style restaurant. They are only open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Bruce's is located right on US 431. It is just north of downtown Guntersville and the airport. There is some beautiful roads to ride in the area around Guntersville Lake. The lake is the most beautiful one in Alabama.

Great little Catfish house overlooking the river... Very rustic and great food. [Another review:] Known for Catfish. Long time LD riders RTE Just past Lavaca AL north of HWY 10 where it crosses the Tombigbee River. [Big Jim adds:] Nice little catfish house, food is about average atmosphere is quaint. [Note:] This is the original Ezell's, on the Tombigbee river, site of occasional organized RTE events. There used to be a place of the same name in Pelham, but it moved to Trussville and changed it's name to Ezell's Catfish Cabin.

This restaurant has great food at very reasonable prices, with a quiet atmosphere. The food is middle eastern so if you are craving hummus and gyros this is the place. Traveling from I-10 you should ride on Newman road to airport for rolling hills and easy turns with few stops. North of Mobile try Tanner Williams to Hurley, MS for more hills and turns without stops.

Best pulled pork I have ever had!! Ya'll this is a must stop for Bar-b-Que. New and QUALITY. It's just 2 miles off I-10 between Mobile and Pensacola, Malbis exit 38, south on the left side, big cooker out front, no sign yet. My wife had pulled pork dinner with greens and home made macaroni and cheese. Absolutely fantastic. I had pulled pork and brisket with beans and cole slaw...man, fantastic. All sides made there, family recipe's. Sample of ribs and again fantastic. Chicken, sausage, brunswick stew waiting for next visit. Great sauces. Never got passed North Carolina sauce and white sauce today. Damn good. Met Mike the owner and talked BBQ, great guy. Got some ideas for ABT's and brisket cooking. It was a privilege to see his cooker, he built it, damn, make you want to just sit, admire and look/smell. Really impressed with servers. When went through the line, no scales, just serve it up. Asked for some of the bark and they knew what I wanted (try that in other so called Bar-b Que restaurants). Friendly the entire time there. My prediction, he is going to outgrow this place real quick. Going to need bigger parking lot real quick. Going to have too stand in line within a month. Great rides through Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast, Lower Alabama back roads. [Note: Map location approximate]

A hole-in-the-wall downtown hot dog shop that can feel as snug as an MRI machine, Pete's Famous has been dishing out cheap eats since 1920. We first learned about it thanks to a Roadfooder who goes by the handle "The Don." The Don described Pete's hot dogs as "the absolute best in the land, perfectly grilled every time, always on a fresh steamed bun." He said that Pete's hot dogs are "so good I have to hit myself in the head with a brick to stop eating them." We can relate. Pete's hot dogs are addictive. They are modest-sized crisp-grilled weenies, loaded into soft steamed buns, and almost always served "all the way" with onions, sauerkraut, and tangy-sweet sauce, as well as a shot of mustard. Pete's "special" supplements the mix with dark, beefy chili. Cheese adds a whole other level of taste to the combo and is highly recommended. Other than hot dogs and hamburgers, there is nothing on Pete's menu, not even French fries. If you need something on the side, bags of chips are available; and the beverages of choice are Coca-Cola and a curiously tangy grape-flavored bubbly bug juice known as Grapico. For dessert, choose from a selection of candy bars that includes Goo Goo Clusters. Expect to dine standing up. No credit cards accepted. [Note: Well, it seems we have a difference of opinion. More input on this spot appreciated:] The only reason people eat at Pete's is because they are unfortunate enough to work in downtown Birmingham which is probably worse than working in Downtown Baghdad. Thus I don't see why any sane person would ride a motorcycle to that area. This is possibly the worst location to ride a motorcycle on the face of the earth. This might belong on a "strange people work there" sort of list, but not on this list.

Red's is housed in an old school house. I don't think you could get more home style fried chicken or southern food anywhere else. Red's is located on the back roads of Alabama. Not too curvy, but not boring either.

Located three miles north of the intersection of Ala 59 and I65 in Bladwin County. Take Hwy 59 South from Uriah Al (north of Atmore & I65) you will have 45 miles of sweepers and great country views along the way. You will also pass historic Fort Mims. The Stagecoach is like eating at your grandmothers house on Sunday afternoon. The fried, yes I said fried, pork chops are the best I have ever had. They put the chops out on Satudays. The fried chicken is equally as good. They are motorcycle friendly. They are just great folks with great food

The place has an organic/hippie vibe. For example, they served rosemary potatoes instead of french fries with the burger. Elk burger and razorback burger are excellent. A little pricey. Service OK. Highway 7 is a fantastic ride.

is a roadside BBQ stand. No tables, no waitresses, no frills, unless you count the food. Top notch Hickory smoked BBQ. Pulled pork, brisket, and dry rubbed ribs. It is on the NW corner of Hwy 64 and Hwy 21, on the eastern end of Clarksville Ar. Right next to a bait shop. Hwy 21 is a great ride north towards Boxley Valley, or you could turn onto hwy 16, about 30 miles North of the BBQ joint, at Fallsville, and head towards Fayetteville

This little "Hole-in-the-Wall" place is definitely worth stopping in. Right off of scenic Hwy 7, it holds some of the best BBQ we have ever eaten! The BBQ sausage is crisp on the outside, moist on the inside. Just perfect.The sandwiches are overflowing and big portions will more than fill your tummy for the trip to the Ozarks ahead. The people there are super friendly and the locals won't hesitate to chat with you while you're there. Just the mention of this place makes our mouths water and we instantly start pining for another trip to Mickey's.

It's a Biker themed restaurant. Exhaust pipes hang and the bar and all the menu items have clever bike style names like "The Shovel Head", The Road King" and "The Biker Betty". Of course there's plenty of Motorcycle Only parking right out front. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and all of it was so good, we went back the next day to have more. Cycle Gadgets is right up the road and the biker playground of the Ozarks is right outside the door.

Cafe Poca Cosa is great for an upscale Mexican dinner in Tucson. The chicken mole is very good and the carne asada is wonderful as well. Definitely consider ordering the Plato Poca Cosa for an assortment of yummy delights. Plan on spending about $25 a person for just the main entree and you'll definitely need to make reservations. However, for my money, Little Poca Cosa is even better (151 N Stone Ave). All the really great flavors for a lot less dinero in a more intimate atmosphere. They're only open for lunch, grab a menu and seat yourself and you have to have cash to pay.

Absolutely a DO NOT MISS when in the valley. Family owned and operated, its nothing special to look at, in fact its in a strip mall, but the food is unparalleled. Rated 'best food in Arizona' several times by more than one professional reviewer. It's claim to fame is a blend of Chinese and Mexican. While everything is excellent, Menu items include Jade Red Chicken, similar to chinese 'sweet and sour chicken' but tossed in a spicy mexican style sauce. Two items plus refried Black beans and stir-fried spanish inspired rice round out the huge combo plate. there are also burritos and Quesadillas. Meals run under 15$ including drinks.

El Charro is one of Tucson's oldest Mexican restaurants and is definitely an institution. They have several locations but the original, downtown, is the one to go to. Carne Seca is the specialty and they have the drying cages on the roof. This is authentic and yummy. For desert, get the tres leches cake - yum! Most plates run less than $10 for dinner. The Carne Seca is just under $20 but well worth every penny.

Another Tucson Mexican food gem, El Torero is easy to miss tucked just off of south 4th Ave on 26th St. It definitely looks like a dive but it's worth wandering in. The cheese crisp with roasted green chiles is a must start followed by the green corn tamales, La Bandera (enchiladas) and turkey molé. Family owned, old school Mexican goodness.

CASH ONLY - Home made breads, fabulous PIE and the home of the GIANT cinnamon roll. Their fried chicken is also divine but you have to be willing to wait for it (about 20 minutes) as it is cooked to order, not sitting under a heat lamp. Mount Lemmon (Catalina Hwy) is the nearest twisty road.

Just North of Highway 60 at Vicksburg RD, a cutoff to between I 10 and Highway 72. South eastern Arizona. When the big bodies inside a 100 mile circle get together to discuss where and when to eat, this restaurant always comes up. Great food, plenty of it, at a very good price. Not to mention the cleanest rest rooms in all of Arizona. Features a real old fashioned soda fountain and made on the premises pie. Darn near spectacular pie, and the special is safe and good. Is the only restaurant in Arizona where I will eat the Meatloaf special. It is exactly 100mi from my place to the KOFA. Perfect to sharpen my early morning apetite. Oh, the place is named for a famous area land mark. The King OF Arizona Mine, one of the richest gold mines in territorial Arizona. About 50 miles straight south. Edit: I forgot one important thing. When you buy OJ, they squeeze it right in front of you. Is no doubt fresh! And order the BIG ham breakfast only if you are a big eater! BigTom

Great Breakfast--very good value $ Nice twisty road to Arivaca from I-19 (Amado, AZ Exit) south of Green Valley, AZ. Laid back atmosphere with friendly folks. Nothing special to look at but good country home style cooking. Cowboys, pick ups and motorcycles with an ocassional Lexus or Mercedes parked out front. Normally seats about 24. Breakfast served most of the day on week ends. If you can find it, it's worth the trip and the experience of the road. ST090 Nov 08

It's all good, tho, including the Apple Cobbler. The full menu is on their website. Best piece of old route 66 runs thru Kingman, east to Seligman and west thru Oatman to the California line.

I like this place it has an great atmosphere. Their people welcome you in with warm freindly smiles and take the time to get to know you. The Engineers Spicey Beef Panini is out of this world sliced smoked beef brisket, whiskey BBQ sauce, jalepenoes and mozzerella cheese panini grilled. All there meats are smoke which you can choose from Whiskey BBQ Sauce ( made with forty creek Whiskey), Sweet Chili, Homemade Billy Sauce (spicy). Just east of the pub the ride and roads are great. Rideing along the Fraser river you can see MT. Baker, golden Ears and so much more. It is only 1hr from Sumas into Washington state.

It's a brew pub. Best brews in northern California. If you like an IPA you can't go wrong with the Racer V. If on it's available, go with the Racer X! Great burgers, sandwiches, salads and main course type meals as well. I've never been disappointed. I'm not a big fry guy, but their garlic fries are to die for. Roads - Heck, you are only 20 minutes from Skaggs Springs - the best ten miles of riding I know of in California, Oregon and Nevada. The coast is nearby as is wonderful rides through the hills of the Sonoma and Napa wine countries.

We were staying overnight in Cayucos on Highway 1 and the hotel clerk recommended this place. We split a combo plate of fresh fried shrimp (huge!), fried calimari steak, fried clams and fresh fried red snapper. Served with wedge cut potatoes - hot, crisp, quick - so good we came back the next night. Oh and don't skip.dessert. I had the Maui Wowie pie - coconut crust, pineapple coconut ice cream with caramel and whipped cream. This thing was huge! My son had the Rocky Mountain High Pie - marshmallow rice krispy crust, rocky ice cream, hot fudge, peanut butter and a white chocolate whipped cream topping. Go for the food, go for dessert - go for both! The service is fast and friendly and the prices reasonable for what you get to eat.

This family owned restaurant's motto is: "You've had the rest, now try the BEST". That's huge to live up to! But let me tell you there's nothing as good in or near my hometown. A group of 15 of us were on a motorcycle ride out thru the Delta stopped in to Bobby D's for a late lunch. We pulled into a local strip Mall and there was a HUGE smoker outside. Looking good so far! I had the small bowl of gumbo which was BIG! It was delicious. I also had potato salad and hush puppies and 1 piece of fried Catfish. All very good! Several friends ordered hush puppies to take home. I also tried a sample from all the offering my friends were served. I loved the beef ribs! Meat falling off the bone! Just the right amount of smoke and the BBQ sauce was SO GOOD. I also tried the Hot Links...excellent! You could actually taste the sausage first and then a nice spicy hit. I'm a huge Cole Slaw fan and it's some of the best...right up there with Mom's. My wife had Pulled Pork...luckily there was enough left for me to have for dinner. Not kidding here...Some of the best I've ever had. The smoke flavor was just right and the sauce exactly like I like it. Their homemade peach cobbler...off the hook! (do people still say that) One buddy had Pork Ribs and liked them so much he took an order home for his wife. OH..don't want to forget the Collard Greens...done just right. Lets see, the only other thing we got was an Oyster "Po Boy". I didn't try it, but she loved it. No one had chicken but a guy sitting behind me says he goes there twice a week just for the fried chicken. It's all he gets! So next time I'm trying the fried chicken. Bobby D is a gracious host and he and his staff are friendly.

An inviting stop on the road to Ojai, this is a great place to sit outside, order some Italian food, and watch the motorcycles roll by. The pizza we ordered was delicious, and a variety of toppings are available. They use ingredients that are grown on their ranch property, depending on the season. Make sure to bring cash, because they do not accept credit cards. The road from Santa Paula to Ojai, CA-150, is a scenic, rural road with a mix of twisties and valley sections, popular among Southern California motorcyclists.

No place to sit down so just use your MC or stand by it like I do. Great Carne Asada, Carnitas Tacos for $1 each plus Free Fried Onions, Fried Cactus, Fried Hot Peppers and Large fresh fried Tortilla chips. All this food for $2 to $3 plus $1 for a canned soda. I think it is the best Tacos in S. Calif for the $$ and they are tasty.

Great location at the intersection of Hwy 29 and Hwy 128 in Calistoga and the wine country. Tons of great riding all over the area with many passes and twisties in all directions including out to the coast. The smoke and the scent of barbecue will hit you before you see it. Not the best Que I've had, but very good and priced reasonably. For some the hot sauce is far too hot so think about starting with the mild.

If you have a large appetite, the Trailblazer Combo is a choice of 3 meats totalling over a pound and a half of food. I recommend the sausage, brisket, and pork shoulder.

[Another reviewer adds: The riding on Highway 49 is outstanding - it's a fabulous, twisty road and much of the route is in a river canyon with the narrow road perched above the water. There are plenty of great swimming holes and a couple of quaint little towns. You want to ride with some caution, because it is a LONG way to a hospital and there are unforgiving drop-offs and big, dumb deer along the way.

Located a half mile from the entrance of Yosemite National Park off 120 (directions at link). If you haven't ridden CA120, it's a top ten riding roads in the nation. The lodge is also surrounded by many offroad trails, if that is your thing. The food is Americana and well cooked. The Tavern is host to many events. The Hetch-Hetchy Dam is a very short hop from the Tavern. The Black&Blue Cheeseburger is my personal favorite. The prices are very reasonable. Note: If you are east of the park, the Tioga Pass is usually closed Nov-May and you'll have to go around. The Tioga Pass closure does not effect those coming from the west.

A classic and historic place to stop for an excellent meal, cold beer, and a glimpse into the world of big game hunting in the 1930's. With a private collection of over 250 specimens from Africa and North America, Foster's is a showplace with a 65 ft. bar, eight cold beers on draft and two dining rooms. The collection is incredible. Includes everytime of animal you can think of, including an elephant and a giraffe.

Pie!
Gizdich Ranch is an orchard/farm with an onsite bakery selling fresh fruit and berry pies whole or by the slice. There's a beautiful picnic area where you can rest and enjoy your snack.
Great selection of roads to get you there - Hecker Pass (CA-152) for a mild challenge or Mt Madonna to Hazel Dell if you want to work up an appetite. Afterward, head off to CA-1 or find your way to Corralitos and give Eureka Canyon a whirl.
Do NOT miss the apple dumpling a la mode.

The Gubstake is one of the best late night eateries in SF staying open until 4am everynight. Not exactly a place I would visit in the day time nor would I make a special trip to SF just to eat here. However if you're in town, and been taking advantage of the SF night life and want something to eat late at night you aren't going to find any better. It's the only place I know of to offer "Portuguese" cuisine, and wine. I've always found the food to be great, although at 2:30am there can be a bit of a wait.

Ang Vancouver says: You will not find a better place than this for breakfast. Everything is good,we had the hot oatmeal with fruit, but next time we will have waffles. The coffee is very good. Take any road in any direction and you can't go wrong. Lofoss adds: I have ridden for a lot of years but I have to say that if you take Colemen Road from Bodega Bay to the Town of Occidental you will be amazed at how beautiful that area really is. It's mainly a one lane road from the beach till you get close to the town and the view is to die for looking from the hill down onto the beach. Then it goes from scrub land to some of the really amazing stands of redwood trees and into some forest canopies that are kodak worthy. When you get into town and go into this cafe,the smell of baked goods hits you right in the face. I recommend the breakfast there with anything off the griddle and the sausage is all made fresh right there in town. There is nothing done half ass on that menu, from fresh squeezed OJ, fresh ground coffee to sammiches it's all top notch.

Just outside of Healdsburg on State Highway 128, Jimtown Store is a country store and cafe with a wider worldview, a Sonoma County landmark nestled in the vineyards of the Alexander Valley, one of Northern California’s premium wine appellations. Bordered by the Mayacamas Mountains and the Russian River, continuing East on Hwy 128 will take you up and over Knights Valley into the lovely town of Calistoga, CA. Heading West will have you heading through Geyeserville, CA and onwards through Boontville towards Highway 1 and the Pacific Ocean. The renowned Skaggs Springs Road is also just a 20 minute jaunt via Dry Creek Road. Great riding, delicious food…a destination indeed.

Home made corned beef hash, lemon yogurt pancakes, and the Tuscan Scramble are my favorites, although I doubt anything is bad. They are very popular so expect a 20 minute wait after 8:30 AM. They do NOT take credit cards or checks, so bring cash. Closed Mon and Tues.
Nearby roads to try: Wentworth Springs road, out of Georgetown (excellent pavement)
Mosquito Ridge Road out of Foresthill. (Which connects up to Wentworth, lumpy in places)
Hwy49 in either direction to Placerville, or to Sierra City and beyond. (Pretty wet in the winter months)

This is a great ride from Sacramento. I took Hwy. 50 to Pollock Pines and went up Mormon-Immigrant Trail to Hwy. 88 and then up to Kirkwood. Keep going and it's Markleeville or Tahoe, go down to Jackson or Placerville (Hwy. 49). I took off and turned this into a 250 mile ride, by taking Shake Ridge Road on Hwy. 88 and popped out at Fiddletown and took Hwy. 49 to Auburn and Hwy. 80 home. It was a really good ride, the destination is awesome, High Sierra and mountain lakes. Good food, definitely a rider destination. That is how I got the tip to take Shake Ridge Road home.

Breakfasts fit for a choker-setter, appropriate in this little logging town. Corned beef hash and eggs is terrific; you can get biscuits and gravy instead of toast and not have to eat again for the rest of the day. Good riding abounds - the loop through Lassen Volcanic National Park, Highway 36 towards Red Bluff, State Route 89 to Quincy and Truckee. Pretty country, great food, great riding!

This is both a bar and grill, AND a finer dining establishment. The bar is downstairs, is casual, and somewhat intimate. The upstairs is somewhat more formal, and definitely brighter. The bar often has live music on the weekends, but isn't too loud.
Half of the menu stays the same all year long, and half changes to a different region of the world every month. This can make some months somewhat unexciting, depending on your tastes, and will also leave you waiting 11 months for your favorite dishes. However, the food is always well prepared, and is organic and locally grown whenever possible. There is a bistro menu in the bar, in addition to the full menu. The blue cheese smothered steak is a nice value if you don't want to go for a $20~$25 dinner. They also have the absolute best fries around.
Local roads:
Wentworth Springs Road, out of Georgetown. To Icehouse, to Hwy50, to Placerville, and back on Hwy49 is a nice loop. (closed during winter)
Mosquito Ridge Rd, (lumpy and bumpy in places) out of Foresthill links up to Wentworth which allows you to return via Georgetown and 193, or to do the Icehouse to Placerville loop.
Hwy49 up to Sierra City or beyond is an enjoyable road during the drier months. Pretty dark and wet in the winter.

Apples! This is a great place to go all year, but during apple season it get fun.
The Ranch has a huge BBQ cooker powered by apple wood. The tri-tip is the best,
even though it is not cooked with any sauce. You have to put your own sauce on. Fresh cider and fresh baked apple goods are still warm out of the oven.
It is a park like setting with lots of trees and grass with several benches to eat on.
It is next to a nature reserve if you want to take a short hike and sit next to a couple of ponds.
Very popular on the weekends with thousands of visitors including bikers. Mostly cruisers, but a few of us touring bikers also.
The road up from Yucaipa is nice and twisty. The cruisers tend to take it very slow. You can go up and down the same side or go over the tip and down into Banning and catch the I-10. Also a few side roads if you know the area.
Good food, Fall colors, Nice ride... What more do you want for a day ride?

To be honest, this isn't really a Ride To Eat destination. Nobody gets up in the morning and says "Oooh… let's ride to the Mad Greek today." Unless they live down the street. But lots of bikes pass Baker on the way to or from some great riding, and the Mad Greek will take a little of the sting out of paying those I-15 dues. It's a great people-watching place - with Vegas types full of anticipation or the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. The menu is too huge and varied to actually rate the food. You should be able to find something you like. But no promises except to say that no matter what you get, you will not forget the Mad Greek.

On one of the best riding roads, Highway 36, and next to the Post Office, is a little 15 foot trailer that serves up the most awesome burgers and other great eats. Not many places to eat on 36 but this is well worth the stop. Great shakes as well as too darn many other choices of food. The place is always busy. The locals call in their orders to avoid waiting. No inside seating you just find a spot on the couple of picnic tables parked under the trees. Rest room is a porta potty. One of these times I will have to try something other then the burgers, but I haven't tried all of the kinds they have to offer (yet! working on it!) Admin Note: Map coordinates approximate.

Sierra City is on Hwy 49 at about the 4100 foot elevation. Great little town with wonderful folks. I've only had breakfast there, but would be great for all meals as the main restaurant area is in The Garden. A creek running thru it, clean air and good food. The ride is, of course to die for. 49 will take you to Hwy 80 and Auburn or over to 395 and Nevada. If you have the time, and love big sweepers leading to even better roads, head east from Sierra to Gold Lake Hwy North to 89/70, then take 70 to Quincy. You can stay on 70 down to the valley or, for more fun, take the Oroville Quincy Hwy down to Oroville. Much of this road was recently repaved and the twisties are in wonderful condition.

A great place to take a break along the magnificent Pacific Coast Highway. There will be many tourists there, but don't let that put you off - you're in the wrong part of the world if you want to dodge tourists. When the weather is nice it's a real treat to eat outside, especially if you can get a seat on the rail on the south and west side of the patio area. Spectacular views. The bartenders are real pros, in case your passenger wishes to imbibe - I hear the Mai Tai's and Bloody Mary's are memorable. Pricey, but the food is good and the location is amazing. Watch out for the bluejays, they'll steal your fries if you give them half a chance.

This place is on Pacific Coast Highway and a good place to stop and order some clam chowder or some fish and chips.
Lots of bikes there from Harleys to metrics with parking right up front for your bike.
On weekends it gets so crowded that they have a couple of security guard to try make enough room for all that ride in,
Your right across the highway from the beach and Ive seen Grey whales playing 100 yards from the shore in the winter months.
You can pick up Mulholland drive right near there and get into some great riding twisties all the way to the Rockstore and on into L.A.
Check the websites game about crossing P.C.H., its pretty close to the truth.

Good bike access;good food;great local brew. [another reviewer adds:] They brew several styles of Ales and Porters and serve them at the bar up front. All are good. The after-work regulars are mostly blue collar. Really, really blue collar which might put off some who expect a more touristy crowd but fear not as everyone is very friendly, especially the staff. They do a lot of seafood but I can only bear fish'n'chips and the Brewery's were very good. But the best part about the place is the ride there. [reviewer David Morrow adds: I would not describe the North Coast Brewing crowd in Fort Bragg as "really, really blue collar". It has a very nice pub and an even nicer restaurant.]

FOOD: Yes, they have food, but the reason to go is the olives. They have about thirty different kinds (or maybe more), from mild to wild, hot to not. RIDE: For those of you on your two-ton cruisers, getting to Corning is a dream. It's hot, straight, hot, flat, hot, interstate, and hot. None of those pesky turns.

The Original, eh? Very reasonable prices, small town atmosphere. Italian specialties along with the biggest breakfast in SoCal since the demise of Belisle's down the street from Disneyland...you think you can, but you can't finish the Farmer Boy combo. It has been done, but you really can't. Sometimes I can. Well, you and a couple of friends *might*. The thing is that the huge portions aren't a gimmick like those places with the twelve pound steak that give it to you if you can eat it all in one week or whatever. It's just how much they can get on the plate and the girls can still barely lift it. Everything is dee-rish-us. I knew the phone number without looking it up, ok? What does that tell you?

Aside from being the only place for a disturbingly measurable number of miles, the motel and restaurant strives to be more than just an "any port in the storm" location in the desert. The food in the restaurant is good and plentiful, served from a blending of traditional American and Southwestern fare. The bar is well stocked for tired and bunking-in travelers and the breakfasts are served fresh, hot, fast and piled on. It's a great place to pack in for the night and freshen up for the morning's traveling.

The roads REAL close aren't great, but it is just off the Pacifc Coast Highway, and will get you into some world class riding. If you're riding in Monterey and looking for great seafood, head a few minutes north to Moss Landing and try Phil's. It will be a memorable meal.

This little gem makes some darned good food. The front counter will tempt you with its assortment of freshly baked desserts including carrot cake, marion berry pie, tri-nut pie, oatmeal cranberry cookies, lemon bars, and much more. For breakfast after a nice motorcycle ride, you can choose from omelettes, flapjacks, French Toast with fresh seasonal berries, or one of their scrambles. Their bacon is applewood smoked.
They sell Buckhorn smoked tri-tip sandwiches (and sometimes sell entire tri-tips at the front counter to take home), sizeable salads, sandwiches and burgers. In the evenings, and on weekends (at least when we were there), they bring in a wood-fired brick oven on wheels, and you can order wood-fired artisan pizzas, if you aren't in the mood for pork chops, cioppino, paella, salmon or filet mignon. Prices are reasonable for what you get, the servers are pleasant and professional,and the restaurant itself has lots of natural light and a very welcoming atmosphere. This is our favorite place to stop and have breakfast or lunch when we ride out to this neck of the woods.

I ate there last about 3 weeks ago. First thing I'd like to say is this is a family owned family run business. It has all the benefits and pitfalls associated with a business of this nature. I first started eating there in 1994 when I was active duty in the Navy and living in nearby Murphy Canyon. I was impressed with the food then. I've since moved 2000 miles away and back again returning in 2004. Was I surprised to see this little gem still in business. They have the best Mongolian Beef you will find in the San Diego County, I don't care at what cost. No one makes it like the chef in the back of this restaurant! Their vegetables are as fresh as they get, always cooked to perfection. I introduced a friend to this place and he and I eat there now about once a week. He totally fell in love with their Shrimp Tempura, he also loves their Rickshaw Roll, it's a combination of Tempura Shrimp, Avocado, Crab, Cream Cheese and Cucumber. I've found their Garlic Chicken to be especially tasty as well as their Lemon and Orange Chicken. As you can tell I'm a pretty big fan of a lot of their menu. The only thing that keeps this place from getting 5 stars is the simple fact that it doesn't provide atmosphere, it's small, the service is slow sometimes as the staff is pretty limited but once they get to know you, well the servers just light up when you walk in. Another issue is that the bathroom is out and around back of the place. Maybe not everyone's kind of place, but it sure is my kind of place. After all, it's all about the food! Dana

This is a bike stop, on the weekends the bike are lined up out front and the live music is loud. Daily specials that can be more on the fancy side. [Another reviewer says: ] If you have never been to The Rock you have to try the Smoked Tri Tip Sandwich. Great stuff! The 1/2 lb Bacon Cheeseburger or the Philly Cheesesteak, all good choices. Lake Hughes Road, San Francisquito Canyon, and Bouquet Canyon all lead to The Rock Inn.

The place is one of the best bike hangouts in California.
The amount and types of motorcycles are just amazing, its too bad that the food is at best mediocre.
Breakfast is probably the worst, lunch is ok and the BBQ is ok at best.
I know the owners are getting along in years and maybe they will sell it and get an owner that will come up with a better menu.

Rossi's is *almost* the only place to eat in BP. But we have actually ridden the 470 mile round trip just to have dinner there. TRATTORIA is the correct term for a traditional Italian dinner house like Rossi's, and a trattoria is also a neighborhood kind of place where they remember you and treat you like you wish everybody would. You know, a crummy little building where they do a little magic. Live piano player on weekends that seems to know everything. And I am a pro musician...I DO know everything, but he knows even more.
All-you-can-eat salad and bread with your entree. When was the last time the salad and bread was AWESOME? The blue cheese dressing is so good they are bottling the stuff now. Put it on your pizza!
Take somebody special there and they will talk about it for a long time.

Where else can you get chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes, vegetable, roll, cole slaw, pie and a drink for $8? The photo may look bland but the chicken pie is so much tastier than the frozen ones you've had in the past. The cole slaw is mighty fine, too. To finish the meal I opted for the chocolate pie and it was the old fashioned cooked pudding type that was bursting with plenty of chocolate flavor. Definitely worth a detour to San Diego when you're in SoCal. Raven November 08

First, I'm basing rating solely on the Sunday breakfast, as I haven't had a chance to try their other meals; cream cheese and cinnamon apple stuffed french toast, which is to die for.
Second, there's a number of great roads that lead to the place; it's located on Highway 245, near both Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. (my route included Hwy 180, Dunlap Road, Hwy 245, and Boyd Rd)

The Squeeze Inn is a Sacraemento landmark. They have been reviewed on the food channel and in numerous national magazines. Their calling card is the "Squeeze With Cheese" which is a 1/3 pound burger with a huge handful of cheeze thrown on top. There is so much cheese that it flows down onto the griddle, forming a skirt, which is then served up on a fresh made bun. Glorious! [Also a location in Galt. The Sacto location will be moving to a new nearby location, but the original location remains open until then. See the website]

They are right near the beach heading north to Santa Barbara next to highway 101.
Good omelets are the order of the day with fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh coffee.
On a nice day I recommend outside seating.

The best hamburger in the Napa, Sonoma, and wine country area. Whenever I find myself either riding or working anywhere near St Helena I have to stop at Taylors for a burger. The place is old school road side diner but featuring contemporary concepts of local, organic, fresh ingredients. The roads into, and out of Napa are great riding so you can't go wrong with a trip to Taylor's Admin Note: 2 other locations. 1 in Napa, 1 in San Francisco. A.K.A. Gott's Roadside

At the junction of Mines, Mt Hamilton, and Del Puerto Canyon Roads there's a hole in the wall serving good food, cold beverages (including decent beer on tap if you're of a mind for one) and great company. It doesn't hurt that these are three of the absolute best roads in the East Bay for an afternoon of twisties. Paraphrasing a quote from Yelp - it's like Alice's, just without the crowds.

I've been eating there since I was a little tyke. Very eclectic and funky decor, very well-stocked bar, especially in the import beer section. But the real reason to go is the fantastic selection of roasted meats. The guys carving look like they've been there for decades, and there's a good reason for that; it's a famous SF watering hole. Don't miss the buffalo stew! Getting there is fun until you hit the city. You can come up CA 1/Coast Highway along the Pacific, CA 35/Skyline Blvd up the spine of the Santa Cruz Mountains, or over the Golden Gate Bridge from Marin. San Francisco is no more or less fun than any big city, with lots of potential risks.

This place is a little hole in the wall. They are a great old greasy spoon, though the place keeps changing hands. I grew up about 3 miles from it and the whole nearby community eats there, and some work there.
Great burgers and portuguese beans. Fridays are clam chowder days. Get there by 11 or it might all be gone. I like the blue cheese burger. They have beer fries that are pretty good, and hand made onion rings.
I'd get the bottomless clam chowder and their texas toast. Or try a blue cheese and bacon burger with mushrooms. Play a game of pool before you leave.
Be careful of the traffic, they call this highway Blood Alley. 90 deaths since just a few years ago.
If you're heading back towards the 580/bay area, take the old patterson pass rd. exit and turn left at the offramp. Drive past the shell and power stations, then be prepared for a good ride. Avoid the road between 4 and 7pm, due to reckless commuters. There's a great view about 2/3 of the way through. I swear you can see for 20 miles. Once you get to the end of the highway and reach a stop sign, take a right and follow the road to the freeway.

In the middle of this desolate stretch of California high desert highway, you will find this oasis of red meat and grassy picnic wonderfulness. One of THE best burger joints you will ever find in the entire world. Cooked to order so there is a bit of a wait. While waiting you can relax in the covered patio area or in the grassy expanse. Or heck, clean your windshield with the water and squeegee left out front for that purpose. Some of the best Pass riding in California. Hwy 89/Monitor Pass leading over to Hwy 4/Ebbetts Pass is just to the North. A short jaunt south and you have Hwy 108/Sonora Pass. 30 miles or so south of Sonora Pass is Hwy 120/Tioga Pass into Yosemite. An embarrassment of riches. Living in Sacramento, I will often ride over for lunch...a great day trip. Rated Value as a 3 since the food is very good, but it is not cheap - transport costs and all to the isolated area. FYI, only open from May or so thru mid-September.

A great chef opened a restaraunt in a Mobil Station - and the food is fabulous. They offer items like Buffalo Meatloaf, Lobster Taquitos, St. Louis Ribs, Ragin Cajun chicken Jambalaya PLUS burgers, sandwiches and pizza (and it's a convenience store). It's 30 minutes from the Tioga Pass (the eastern entrance to Yosemite Nat. Park) All the employees in Yosemite recommend it highly and send park vistors there all the time. Well worth a visit. (It's 100 yards of Hwy 395 on Hwy 120) The food is very reasonable. [a.k.a. Tioga Toomey's]

Not a single funny look. * Prices are excellent, you will not overpay here * Easy to find * Plenty of free parking * Nice view of Nederland off the porch Cons: * If they get busy plan on waiting, this is a small place!

The Durango Diner is a great place to start the day, and when I say start the day I mean have breakfast after leaving Colorado Springs!! That was a really expensive breakfast. In all seriousness this place has great food, lots of it, and a great atmosphere. I've been eating at the Double D since the mid-90's and have always had great service and an awesome meal. It's a very small place with one or two booths up front and a row of stools along the bar. It's always packed so be curtious and move along after finishing your meal. If you're into the mountain bike scene you may even get lucky and eat with a national or world champion.

One of my favorite breakfast locations in COlorado - huuuuuge breakfast burritos piled high with cheese and homemade green chile - stuffed with three eggs, sausage and lots of other stuff I can't identify...but love. Located on the main drag through town - Highway 40 - it's on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park's west entrance. Many of you have ridden right past it. In the evenings, they have bar service with a decent selection of imported beers.
Favorites are pulled pork, sweet potato fries, BBQ beans.

With dish names like the Thing and the Grump how can a rider go wrong!! The King's Chef is also famous for their green chili and other spicy culinary delights. If you're real good you can become a member of the "Clean Plate Club" however, become too picky and you will be dubbed a princess and have to wear the tierra! Also remember, no matter how tempting, dudes don't eat lollipops!! The King's Chef actually has two locations in downtown COS however, the Castillo location is the original "King's Chef is a 13 seat custom Valentine Diner built in 1956. King's Chef is small and cozy with a vibrant energy. If the diner inside is full, King's Chef also has additional seating (weather permitting) on one of our two great patios for your dining enjoyment." As for riding what can I say other than Colorado Springs is the gateway to the Rockies. Hwy 24 west takes you to some great twisties north and south on Hwy 67. Hwy 115 southwest out of town takes you to US Hwy 50 and points west. If you're into the dirt scene it doesn't get much better than Colorado Springs as there's singletrack and gravel roads departing directly from town.

Silverton is on the San Juan Skyway so good roads are a given. Beautiful scenery, high altitude and motorcycling make fort a healthy appetite so when we walked in as they opened we were ready to eat. They seem to be known for wings and burgers but the very nice young lady bar-tending recommended the Chicken Philly and she did not steer us wrong. The sandwich was big, the chicken extremely flavorful and the onions, peppers and cheese loaded. Price was good, service quick and friendly and you can't beat the locale.

Food is great, good prices, An excellent lunch stop after a ride up the Cache la Poudre Canyon...
Took some out of town friends for a tour of Peak to Peak and RMNP last weekend, at Sherob's recommendation we stopped at the Sagebrush BBQ and Grill in Grand Lake. It was DELICIOUS! Among our group we had the pulled pork platter, the pulled pork sandwich, a chicken sandwich, brisket platter, and the ribeye sandwich. There wasn't a single complaint, everything melted in your mouth (we passed everything around). Pros: * Food melted in your mouth * Portions were huge (you can split the platters between two people) * Atmosphere was fun! Throw your peanut shells on the floor * Right on the main street in Grand Lake * Easy to get to * Plenty of free parking * Did not have to wait for a table on Sunday at 5pm * Drinks are big, free refills (this is nice if you want to rehydrate or like soda/ice tea) Cons: * Service was miserable, obviously just some local kids trying to make a few bucks. I got up 3 times during the meal to get our waitress. * It's a bit pricey imo, but then again I'm a cheapskate. We will split platters next time we go to cut down on cost. Overall, I recommend you check it out!

Talk about a hole-in-the-wall. This place was a mountain/mining town general store back in the 1890's as I recall from the plaque on the wall. They used to let you carve and write on the tables but frown on that now for some reason, not that there is any room left anyway. The bar stools are tree stumps but the tables have "padded" chairs, likely left over from the 70's. The food is decent, the drinks are cold but the major pull of this place is the ride there which is amazing. I try to visit once a year just because it is such a cool and unique place. P.S. Don't plan on having cell service.

Right off of I-70 about 45 minutes west of Denver. They have great food as well as drinks for those who are interested. In the summer time, sit on the patio and look up at the Rocky Mountains. A good stop for breakfast before heading into the mountains from Denver.

We are RVers fulltime and travel continuously all over North America including Canada and Mexico. We have lived in the Caribbean and NYC. Over the past 16 years our favorite restaurant has been and continues to be Tortugas. They do Cajun and Caribbean seafood but there are non-sea items too. Read a recent review in the Denver Post.

Turley's is a great place to eat - doubly so if you're "not from around here" and are tired of eating fast (buck) food commonly found just off the interstate. They use fresh ingredients, and organic ingredients wherever they can get them, without being overly "hippy" about it. Their website says: "The concept 'better for you naturally' providing healthier style eating, serving foods you're familiar with. We do this by offering a widely varied selection from vegan to meat and potatoes, breakfast all day, a Mexican menu and an ever expanding gluten-free selection. Turley's takes pride in presenting moderately priced food in an inviting atmosphere, with a focus on customer service and attention to detail." That's the thing that makes Turley's really stand out - they have great food - and if they didn't tell you (on the menu) that everything in the restaurant is "all natural", you'd never know how good-FOR-you you're eating.

Great breakfast in a quaint shop yesterday, Norwood, Colorado (on CO-145 between Naturita and Placerville.) Just a convenient stop on our way to Cortez. Turned into a pleasant surprise with the mushroom and spinach Eggs Benedict. Cook Sara was delighted with the compliments. Inside is full of eclectic furniture, no two pieces matched; walls full of original art by the husband of the owner (also pictured, didn't get her name.) Sara is to the right, big smiles and jolly. Building looks like an old industrial complex but the inside is all 60s/70s hippy decor. Delightful place.

This is a fun little place I ride past all the time, Karla and I finally decided to stop there last night for dinner and a beverage. It's right on a loop I do from my house, so it's a sweet little place to stop! Pros:Atmosphere was great, this place * has been in continuous service for 35 years! * Definitely a local hangout, we listened in to some interesting conversations * Food was very tasty, more New Mexican than Mexican, reminded me of Albuquerque * Awesome menu, lots of authentic dishes. They use sopapillas in almost all their desserts. yum. * They make their own salsa, which is AWESOME * Portions are really big, we could've split our order and will in the future to save $ * The margs were tasty. If you have more than one person order the 1/2 liter. It's twice the cost of one marg and will result in just over 4 glasses full. * Nice beer selection, XX Amber on tap which is a winner for me * Service was fantastic and quick * Outdoor patio is really nice * Our server told us everything was made from scratch, and I believe her! * Easy to find (right on 72) and there is enough parking * View of the sunset was AWESOME Cons: * A bit pricey (I'm a cheapskate), you pay for the location, atmosphere and service for sure. Split a meal and it gets easier on the wallet * I WANT TO GO BACK ALL THE TIME

A must stop in for the freshest lobster around. The baots tie up right at their dock and unload. Bring your own "beverages" if you imbibe and sit back and crack open a succulent steamed lobster or delight in a lobster role or pail of steamers. I hit Abbots when ever I get to that neck of the woods. And I'm from Detroit!

It's got a selection of several coffees, plus the espresso coffees, REAL good pastries, and they make a nice sandwich too!
If you stop by on a sunny afternoon, it would be unusual if there wasn't a motorcycle or three there. Regulars park their bikes right in front (in the fire lane) as long as they're sitting outside by them. If you're cool about it, the local PD won't bother you about it. I think they like to check out the bikes...
They have outside speakers, so as long as there's a good station on the radio, there's some nice background music playing.
Although it's in a strip mall, the view from there is toward a small, New England village green, with the white churches and all that.

Super Duper Weenie started off as a hot dog truck on a traffic circle off I-95 back in 1976. A few years later they moved to their current location just off the circle. Only problem there are what seems like 43 roads that, in true New England style, flow into the circle. Few things in life are worth negotiating a New England traffic circle. Super Duper Weenies is one of them.
If your riding the Connecticut coast..and your a doglover..this is a must-do destination.
Many fantastic hot dog combinations and hand cut fries. What could be better!

The coffee is good too, friendly folks run it - order and pay at the counter, it will be dropped off at your table when its ready. The owner is a Brittish Cafe Rider from way back so it's a very popular bike breakfast destination as well as a popular local spot

Great quality food, great staff and always a bunch of motorcycles to gawk at. Located in the "quiet corner" of CT and surrounded by low traffic twisty roads. Their upscale sister restaurant is "85 Main" in downtown Putnam, CT just a few miles away. [Another reviewer adds:]The ride to get here from certain parts of the state is absolutely gorgeous. I recommend taking rte 169 much of which is scenic. The other really neat thing about this place is (on Sundays especially) the parking lot is usually filled with various types of motorcycles usually between 50 and 120 bikes are in the lot.

The sausage and egg sandwich will fill ya for the day. There's 2 sausages and we aren't talking those little things either. These are bigger than a hot dog in size. One of the great sausage sandwiches anywhere. Helen's is a sandwich shop with a few tables inside and while it might not look llike much of a place, don't let that stop you from going inside. This is roadfood at its best. Do note that Helen's opens early and closes shortly after lunch, 2'ish.
From Helen's just head a bit east and ride Rt 9. Very nice.

From the street this does not look like a typical BBQ joint. It looks more like a diner or restaurant built in the '70s or '80s -- lots of glass, a counter, some tables -- but the aroma will tell you this is the place. Great BBQ--huge, meaty ribs. Everyone in our party had ribs, so I cannot comment on any other menu items except to say that the sides were fresh and very good. Good riding roads in the area.

This is a great stopping point for a drink or something to eat before heading more into the Keys. Great place to get your Mojo adjusted for the trip. Also the official gateway to the Keys is just about 100 feet past Alabama Jacks. They have the Best Conch Fritters in the Keys. Atmosphere is great and very biker friendly. [Note:] I've never been there so I'll let it slide... but rating anywhere in the keys as a "4" ride is a bit of a stretch :)

This is Florida's oldest diner, in business since 1932. Great burgers, milk shakes, sandwiches, breakfasts, and reasonable prices. Open 24/7. I really like the burgers, shakes, and onion rings, and that's what I usually have. They have a couple of specialty items, a drink and a sandwich, that I tried once, but they did not appeal to me. The drink is called a "Pusalow," and I read somewhere that it is chocolate milk with vanilla syrup and crushed ice. The sandwich is sort of like a hamburger omelet, but I don't remember the name. There are some good riding roads in the area, particularly to the west and southwest, and in the Ocala National Forest.

This place is right on the intercoastal waterway in the Port Orange/Daytona area. The atmosphere is good and the food is great! Their little known secret is the best tasting (and hot) cinammon buns you'll ever put in your mouth- that come with every meal. You will want to leave with some to take home for sure! This is a locals favorite which means it can be VERY busy at times, so plan accordingly. If coming from the north, do take the scenic ride through the Tomoka State Park in Daytona (hence the higher rating on the roads). You'll still have to finish coming down either US 1 or on Halifax Street along the waterway; but there are a lot of stop signs/lights either way. This is definitely worth planning a ride to and bringing your riding friends along; even if the ride there is 2-3 hrs long. Patiodadio adds: This is our Favorite place to eat in FL !

This is a great place to stop if you are riding the Ocala national forest. Just up from Ocala almost to Gainsville on 441. It is worth riding there just to try out the pizza.

At the rear of the store near the meat counter you find their own sausage sandwiches available hot and fresh at lunch time, priced reasonalbe and worth the ride to have, you will find a steady stream of people from all over coming in to have their Bradley's fix at lunch time.
Come and set for a sausage sandwich and you just might find some of us from the Long Riders there enjoying it with you.

I categorized this place as "Fast Food" because you go to a counter to place your order and then carry your food to your table, but Carter's is a cut above KFC and the burger places. This is really good fried chicken! It has an "herbs & spices" type of batter. There were nine of us, all of us had chicken, and everyone loved it. Their sides, such as vegetables and potatoes, are prepared fresh, not out of a can. And they have great fried pickles! They also have burgers and BBQ, but I cannot comment on those. Carter's is a chain in Georgia, mostly in small towns, but this is their first in Florida.

The "ride" is straight and flat, but the views of the ocean and Florida Bay are nice. The food at the Cracked Conch is good, but it is not a "destination" restaurant. A good place to stop if you are passing by and need a lunch or dinner break. Not to be confused with the Crack'd Conch that was on Key Largo, and is no more. [Note: Mile Marker 49.5]

When the family sold it and moved to Florida, they opened "Two." To the west of Astor are some of the best riding roads in the State, in the area of the Ocala National Forest.

This is a great, funky little sandwich shop in the Historic District of Fernandina Beach. The sandwiches are piled high and remind me of deli sandwiches in New York City -- except the prices are much more reasonable. They also have subs and burgers and wraps and hot dogs. And something called the Superman Challenge where you can get your meal free and a T-shirt and your name on the wall. Not many names on the wall. If you take Hecksher Drive and/or A1A from north of Jacksonville, or take the ferry from Mayport and then A1A, you will be treated to a nice scenic two-lane drive along the Atlantic Ocean for part of the way.

Seafood and burgers; on Lake Weir with an outdoor covered deck over the water. Very biker-friendly. [Note: Durf adds:] This is a great little place on the water! Lake Ocklawaha is bustling with activity in the summer time and the place fills up with locals, bikers, and boaters alike! There is also a sandy beach front that many enjoy spending the day at. The food is a mixture of BBQ to seafood. The service is average: not great, but not bad. Depending on which way you're coming from, the roads to here can be either great country views or great curvy roads coming in. There is also inside/outside seating. Overall, what's not to like about good food and great (bikini) views?

NOT to be confused with the Gators Dockside chain, this place is much better. The atmosphere is great. It has a small inside dining area but I have never seen anyone use it. I have been here many times and always ate out back on the deck overlooking the river. The food is a pretty good. What you would usually expect from a small riverside restaurant. Very biker friendly and have lots of bikes there on the weekends. Funny thing though. I don't think anyone I have shown it to has ever been there before. It might be one of those best kept local secrets. Nice riding coming from either end of the lake (monroe). The ride along the north side of the lake is nice canopy oak trees. if your riding out near that area it is a great place for lunch.

Been here one time and I would say the food is good, the prices are about average for the this type of place, the location is in the north edge of Tampa on US 41 so if you are riding in from any of the northerly directions there are some nice roads leading here. From the south and the east it is getting pretty congested but this place is only about 10 miles from I75 at the SR54 exit so it is not too bad. [Another location in Seffner]

Jersey's Creamery was called, by USA Today, the best ice cream parlor in Florida. My riding buddies and I totally agree. Karen, the proprietress, has her own miniature Jersey cows and makes the ice cream from the milk from those cows. She adds fresh fruits in season to make the different flavors, which change regularly. She also makes flavors involving nuts and chocolate and peanut butter and other tasty concoctions. Milk shakes, too, and cookies.

I have been searching for over 4 years for the best Buffalo wings in Florida. So far Mo's is the best I have found hands down. Some of the guys I ride with don't eat wings and agree that their food is awesome. It is an old house made into a restaurant so it is small. They are biker friendly and have a large patio area out back that we use for our group meets. The staff is friendly and they even have squirrels that will come eat out of your hand. It is real easy to find. On the corner of US1 and Malabar road (SR514) in Malabar. If you are looking for a huge place and atmosphere go to Earls in Melbourne but if you want lunch and a nice little place to eat it go to Mo's you won't be disappointed. They also usually have live music on the weekends

Biker friendly; lots of outdoor seating; on Six Mile Creek [Note: Durf adds:] This place caters to bikers and boaters alike. They've got a HUGE boat dock that the annual cigarette boat racers come to after their race/poker run (something like 100+ boats parked at one time). There is inside/outside seating and often live music outside. The food is primarily seafood and is okay overall- can be a bit greasy at times. The prices are marginal and so is the service. Recommended to drop in during a planned ride, but not planning your ride to drop in. The biggest bonus is the road traveled to/from because it's along the famous Bartram Trail. The road south of the eatery makes for some beautiful river front riding. Another reviewer adds: I just wanted to add that the original review is dead on. The ride coming up from the back way to St Augustine is awesome and makes it worth the trip to the Crab Shack but don't make a special trip just for the average food.

My companions had burgers, mahi-mahi salad and other selections that they all pronounced as excellent. Located in a renovated old cracker house with a large porch for outdoor dining. Indoor tables, too. The roads in the area are two-lane country roads through farm and ranch country, but are mostly straight and flat.

The SOB is a great place to go for a good time, day or night. The food is good with decent prices. You get quite a mix of people there as it's on Fort Myers Beach and is a vacation destination for many. There's always bikers there, but the crowd in more vacationers depending what time of year you're there. The building has open sides so it is very airy and you get a good opportunity for psople watching. The ride in is nice because you get to go over the bridge that takes you to the island...great view from the top. It's the best view of the Gulf of Mexico in all of Lee county. During season it will take you some time to get onto the island.

Ray King Said: I have had fried grouper, grilled mahi-mahi, and hamburgers here, and every meal was very good. I am usually with a large group of riders, and I have never heard a complaint, except maybe the sweet tea is a little too sweet. The roads in the area make it a good ride to eat. They have another location near Dunnellon, but I have never been there. Danny Watson added: Stumpknockers has a cool decor, everything from mounted fish to an old telephone booth, complete with a superman suit. The dining is what you order. The hamburgers are the best around. I had the fish and chips and the fish was excellent. The chips were American potato chips, not the potato wedges associated with English fish and chips. (They replaced them with french fries at my request) I would recommend going there just for the ride and the Americana in the restaurant and the surrounding town square. If you explore the county roads around Inverness: E Gospel Island Rd, CR 247, CR 251 and others, you will enjoy gently winding roads and unspoiled Florida scenery. . All these are East of Inverness off SR 44.

Beautiful setting, surrounded by woods and the De Leon Springs where you can swimm too, if that takes your fancy? Outstanding Brekky! Each table is built around a griddle and you do your own pancake/egg/ meat thing. A couple of different pancake batters, whatever fruits you decide you want to add and REAL Maple Syrup can be had! Wouldn't visit the area without stopping in. Ride ain't outstanding but after an Ontario Winter just about anything is stellar...Take your Dual Sport bike and go ride in the Ocala Forest afterward...just to burn off the high octane hit you've just taken...

Had a terrific ride today doing back roads east of Tampa Bay down to Bradenton Beach and then running up through St. Pete and back to Tampa. Low 70's, overcast (no glare) light traffic,...great, great ride, about 150 miles total. Had one of the best lunches ever at The Beach House on Bradenton Beach...and learned a wonderful secret. I ordered the Mahi, 'cause I love Mahi, and the waiter advised that if it's the flavor of the fish I wanted rather than the sauce or crust treatments with the fish, to order it grilled. Most tourists order their fish blackened, encrusted in pepper. If you order it grilled, there are small amounts of the pepper and spice on the grill left behind from the tourist's blackened fish, that REALLY enhance the flavor of your fish without overwhelming it in spices. Absolutely, totally, one of the BEST knock your socks off fish entrees I've ever had.

The Fish House is the best seafood restaurant in the Keys, and my favorite restaurant, period. It is located in the Upper Keys, about MM 101.5, which makes it an easy ride from anywhere in South Florida. When I lived near Ft Lauderdale, I ate there often. Order the broiled Yellowtail! They have a new place nearby called the Fish House Encore, where they serve Sushi and stuff. Have not eaten there.

Burgers and pizza and great milk shakes. It has been called the best burger in Jacksonville. I have not eaten every burger in town, but I have not had a better one. They have good pizza, salads, and other sandwiches, too. The fact that it is in my neighborhood makes it a personal favorite. It is actually a small chain, with a vew locations in the Jacksonville area, one in Georgia, and a few in North Carolina. If you are just passing through the area and want a location close to the Interstate, the Orange Park location is easily accessible from the Interstate (295).

I have been to the Tiki Bar many times as it is close to some of the best riding areas in Central Florida. The food has always been top notch, serving burgers, chicken, wings and grouper. The place is part of Lk Minneola Inn but is a seperate building right on the edge of the lake for some great atmosphere. During the summer it's not uncommon for a seaplane to pull up to the dock. It is usually fairly packed and has no inside seating so take that into consideration when planning a visit.

The burgers are great! But calling it just a burger joint is a little misleading, because the shrimp and other seafood look good, too. It is located in an old Exxon gas station, and that is important to know because there is no sign outside telling you it's a restaurant. The owner operated it as a gas station for over 25 years. About 9 years ago (2001, maybe) they added the restaurant in the old service bays instead of doing a convenience store. In 2009, when yet another underground tank law came along, they stopped selling gas and removed the relatively new fiberglass fuel tanks. The motorist's loss is the burger lover's gain!! Note: they close at 1:00 PM on Saturday.

In the middle of nowhere on the banks of a river. It's a steakhouse that will remind you of Texas. A few miles outside of the quait little town. Pretty much steaks with frog legs and some other river-type foods and sides.
The small one is a pound and the big ones are 2 lbs. Sirloins and T-Bones are their specialty. These steaks are huge. People are friendly.

Colonel Poole's is famous for the hundreds (thousands?) of cut-out pigs that adorn the hillside, and the Colonel himself is something of a local celebrity. East Elijay is conveniently located to dozens of great North Georgia roads. On all counts, a RTE to Colonel Poole's has a lot to commend it.

Very informal, outdoor under tree canopy seating on the water with great seafood. It's located between Savannah and Tybee Island. Plenty of seating. The parking lot is dirt/gravel but flat. Just pay attention when riding in it. For entertainment you can feed the gators in the pond out front.

This is a cabin located just outside of Helen Ga in the Chattahoochee national forest. It serves huge portions of Seafood or Steak for $15.99 that is worth every penny. Get here early because their only open a few hours after 5pm and the line starts around an hour before opening. [Note: Map location approximate]

Family style restaurant where they sit you at a big table and just start bringing out dishes of food. You get to pass the dishes around the table and feel free take a healthy portion, they'll bring more. It feels more like you're sitting at Thanksgiving dinner than at a restaurant. Great "Southern" style family food usually with atleast 3 different meat dishes and some of the largest, most delicious Lima beans I've ever had. The best part - you get to take home the left - overs.Deffinately stop by next time you're on your way to or from riding in nearby Highlands, N.C. [Big Jim Davis, Floral City, Fl adds:] The food here is to die for! I have visited here several times and stayed in the accommodations here, the rooms are clean, spacious and reasonably priced, they also have some cabins and if you have a group there is a house that will sleep 10 people for very reasonable prices. The country home style food is served family style and they just keep bringing more of anything you want including fabulous deserts. This is not a place for dieters but if you are in the mood for a big family meal there is none better! Being in NE Ga the roads and the scenery surrounding Dillard is great, a group of us spent a week here in the lodgings and rode a different direction each day, it was a great week and I would go back again cause we did not in any way see all the scenery.

If you are ever in the NE Georgia and can stop in Monday thru Friday for lunch, Food for the Soul is the place to be if you want what southerners have been eating for years. I have taken 5 friends to this little hole in the wall restaurant and all have come out saying that has to be the best fried chicken or pork chop they have ever had. Fridays are seafood day with fried catfish, flounder, coconut shrimp, and of course fried chicken. Also the fixin's that go on the side are out of this world. Green Beans, Cream Corn, Collard Greens, Mustard Greens, Spinach, Black Eyed Peas, Lima Beans, Fried Okra, Squash Casserole, Corn Bread, Yeast Roles, and Cobbler or Chocolate Cake. I may have missed a few things but you get the point. If you are watchin your weight or cholesterol then maybe this isn't for you but for me it's a once a month Splurge from the everyday diet.... Come all, come early cause they have been known to run out of some stuff by 1:00.....

This is an "Authentic" BBQ place, in business since 1929. family owned. Just south of downtown Jackson on GA highway 42. some would say that the BBQ is similar to North Carolina style, the sauce they make is Vinegar based. They serve chipped BBQ pork only. No hotdogs, burgers, Chicken, fries, ETC. they DO serve Stew and Slaw and pickles. you get good ole white bread to go with the plates. only drawbacks are: Gravel parking lot, and they serve that semi-awful fountain drink style Tea. Most BBQ places serve great iced Tea, but I can overlook these two items. VERY motorcycle friendly establishment, Bikers have been welcome here for years. go on Sunday and you will rub elbows with most all aspects of society: Poor, Rich, Black, White, Buisnessmen, Farmers, ETC.

Local pizza, calzone, stromboli place on the square that is going to be a favorite for all. Wife got the $6.50 Calzone with meatballs and it could have served 2 if not 3 people. The big plus is that this place is locally owned by a fellow ST rider so when you are in the area show him some support. When you are coming into the square it is in the first building on the right. There is a gift shop on the corner and his place is in the front of their shop.

I have been eating at Harold's since 1965 when I was a rooke police officer in DeKalb County. The meat is carefully sliced off the butts in front of you and the bread for your sandwich is toasted on an iron grate over a bed of very hot coals. Be sure to try Harold's cracklin' corn bread. It is to die for! Harold's is located at 171 McDonough Blvd, SE in Atlanta, right around the corner from the Federal Penitentary.

We stumbled on this restaurant on one of our Sunday rides. Their pulled pork is as good or better than any I've eaten in Georgia. They also have catfish on the menu and it is excellent, too.

A very good place for BBQ. I usually get the sampler which has BBQ pork, chicken, and ribs with fries. Prices are wallet friendly.
Going south about 7 miles on US 1 you can turn left onto Laura Walker State Park rd which takes you right through the park. It runs from US 1 to US 84 for about 6.5 miles. I have run this route often just for the curves in the road. Be careful though, most of the curves are sharp.
When you are heading out US 1, if you turn to the right instead of the left you will be going to the Okefenokee Swamp Park.

The House Special pizza is off the chain.They also have Calzones, Salads, Hoagies,Wings, appertizers etc.The hummus with pita chips was the best I ever had. They have 20 to 30 beers on tap.

BEST HOTDOGS in Georgia. Born and raised on them. Been eat'n there for over 45 plus years. The Chili Dogs are what ya need to order. I always get four dogs all the way with extra mustard. Their SLAWDOGS rock too. The breakfast is very good too. Their sweet tea is home made and the best. Many people who have had the Varsity like the Nu-Way much more. I eat there every time I am in the Macon area and always buy a dozen to bring home, before I leave.

They roast their own coffee beans on the premises at Senoia Coffee Company, so the aroma is heavenly. Prices are better than Starbucks and so is the Joe. Great cheese cake, sandwiches, pastry and ice cream too. Service is friendly and laid back, just as you'd expect from a small Georgia town (about 40 miles south of Atlanta).

On Fridays only they have "Burnt Ends". The fatty part of brisket smoked and rubbed twice. I call it "meat candy". It is to die for.
Their ribs are also very good with a unique ribs-only sauce they serve. If you let them know you're coming, he'll do a fresh rack overnight just for you.

ADMION NOTE: This beloved motorcycling destination closed in early 2011, due to the operators losing their lease as the landowner has decided to use the property for other purposes. RideToEat.com will leave this entry live for a few months just to help get the word out.
Their main business is as a motorcyle lodge/campground. They serve lunch and dinner on the weekends (no service in winter). Good food, GREAT family atmosphere and friendly folks. In and out for about $10. This is a motorcycle ONLY location, exceptions for vehicles towing motorcycles. TWO is right in the heart of the North Georgia mountains in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Nearby roads of note: GA-60, GA-180, GA-348, GA-75/17, and the wonderful GA-129. All are excellent rides (GA-129 is my personal favorite).

[Another reviewer says:] The "things to get" when your @ the varsity.... Onion rings (the real kind) a "frosty orange" like a orange cream frosty thing and a dog or burger any way you can think it. WARNING you will get a weeks limit on greasy food but oh is it so worth it. I try to hit it at least 4 times a year.

Zuffy's was opened in this former Denny's after "Fuzzy's" was closed over on North Druid Hills. Several of the staff trace their history to Fuzzy's which was famous for their Cajun dishes developed over the years by Chef Joe Dale. They host an ADV group on Wednesday nights, a Euro Bike Group on alternate Thursdays, and a British Bike Group once a month on Wednesdays. The food is excellent, the waitstaff and kitchen staff great. Ask for "Lisa" as she waits on us. BIke nights they set aside a special parking area right out front.

Iowa's oldest bar. Winner of the prestigious 'America's Classics Award' from the James Beard Foundation. Lots of pies including rhubarb custard. Burned to the ground in 2007, rebuilt and reopened in 2008. Burned to the ground a few months later in 2008, rebuilt and reopened August 2009. You might want to sit near an exit :) [Another reviewer says:] This is a great place to ride to, especially coming from the north along the Mississippi River. Just follow the green Great River Road signs. The river road on both sides of the Mississippi is a ride you have to do. Especially between say Redwing,MN and Dubuque,IA. Breitbach's has an awesome lunch buffet and the pies are to die for. Lots of bikes stop here, and there is a scenic bluff overlook walking distance away.

We were greeted outside by a large chef. He had on the right 'chef' pants, a bushy mustache, a gold tooth and a foreign accent. This guy was as warm and hospitable as they come. He indicated that he had been a chef in Chicago for some years previously. We discovered later that his family inside the restaurant was equally fun. They were all attentive to us, and provided great service. They asked about our ride and about the STs. They simply enjoyed having us as guests. The building and the interior are neat, but not impressive. It's low key, but comfortable. The food, though, was outstanding. We paid less than $10 for each of our entrees. Daggy and I ordered BBQ ribs, while Rich ordered a chicken meal. The portions were huge. No understatement. Not to mention the ribs were so well done, that I could've pulled 'em off the bone through a straw. The sauce was subtle - not tangy or spicy, but just right. The chef/owner informed us that they set up a Saturday night buffet, and that he could house lots of people for an RTE.... Please stop by this place if you're starving. It was a great, but simple, dining adventure. Once you're full, head north towards Minnesota on SR52. You won't be disappointed with the ride... or the food.

Whether you find it by accident like we did, just out on a Day Trip, or you know where to eat in Allison, the County Seat Cafe is a must stop. Great little cafe with a very friendly staff and some good "Old Fashion Home Cookin." We had the "All You Can Eat fried Walleye and walked away stuffed. Too much too eat and at $6.95 we got our money's worth. Full family style menu with great choices, from steak to chops with all the trimmings. Home of the Butler County Fair and Hwy 3 Raceway, Allison is a great Little Iowa town, with two lane roads to get you there. Sitting in Iowa farm country the roads aren't spectacular but it's a pretty ride.

Great greasy burger, fresh potato fries, real ice cream shakes. A cool old mining town. A fun Museum attached to the restaurant. A bar down the street had a mine shaft in a back room. My favorite road is from historical downtown Wallace (on 1-90) north to Murray. .A twisty lane and a half paved road over the mountains.

If riding ID 21 from Stanley through Lowman to Boise is not enough to make you think you've died & gone to motorcycle heaven, then a stop at Trudy's will put you over the top. The food is very good and the service cordial & friendly.
It is a small cafe and in the summer can be crowded and busy. But the desserts -- huckleberry cheesecake is a speciality are worth the wait. The rest of the menu is pretty standard cafe fare,
On a nice day sitting outside with a burger & shake is a great finish to a spectacular ride. Or, if you're going the other way, start with breakfast or lunch to begin a beautiful ride over to the Sawtooths and Stanley.

This is a genuine steakhouse. A local favorite so you can't always get in right at dinner time without a reservation. No one goes away hungry. Right off of I-90 east of Coeur d' Alene. 8 miles further east is the Kingston off-ramp to the river road a great ride that leads over the twisty Thompson pass and thence to Thompson Falls MT. On the way too or from Glacier Park.

Darcy's Pint is a great place to eat. Irish menu and a local favorite the "horse shoe", the horse shoes are the best anywhere. And the top seller is the buffalo horse shoe. You can find a few good rides in the area but the main draw is the Springfield mile, the fastest 1 mile flat track in the country. They have two major races a year, one Memorial Day weekend and the other Labor Day weekend and both draw in thousands of bikers for the races.

At the crossroads of IL-17 and IL-23 sits the best kept secret of the Streator eateries. Four miles from town and in the middle of nowhere sits Four Corners
Restaurant. Isolated yes, but Tina and her staff have done it right. Great Service, GREAT FOOD and prices that will make you want to come back again and again.
What makes it unique is the old style cafe "Come on in sit where you like feel."
Junior is the Chef in the back that prepares from scratch, whether it's the daily soup or the mouth watering pies.
His signature sandwich is the “Four Corners Melt” on sourdough. It's thick, it's juicy, and it's REAL GOOD.
There are Daily Specials or order from the menu, you can’t go wrong.
Local favorites are the Meatloaf dinner, Pan Fried Chicken, and Friday Night all you can eat fried Walleye.
Streator itself has some Roadside America sights including the;
Statue of the Coffee Pot Lady
Hometown of Pluto Discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh
(I don't care what they say Pluto will always be a planet to millions.)
It may be off the beaten path but well worth the ride. Make Four Corners a place to stop and eat.

[Eric said:] Biker hangout on Sun morning. 30-60 bikes on most nice Sundays. Great spot to hook up with other riders heading N to Wi or W to tour IL. Sportbikes, Harleys and everything in between. Clears out by noon as everyone is out riding after that. on Route 41, about 40 miles from Downtown Chicago [Scout added:] It is a good meeting place since the Highland House closed, but the service is not very good, the food is fair. If you are looking for a good place to eat this isn't it. If you are looking to kick some tires and meet other riders, Sunday breakfast time is good for that.

The Illinois River Dock restaurant is a favorite among bikers, custom car folks and even the occasional helicopter fly-in (saw about a dozen helicopters there last summer). Overlooking the Illinois River - great food, especially the smoked meats (done on site!), friendly service and AWESOME pie (if you love chocolate the Rockslide pie will knock your socks off!) . This is great day trip ride from any where with in a 75-100 mile or so radius. Hardin is in Calhoun county with beautiful scenic roads along the Illinois River bluffs. Also, from Harding go south to Brussels, take the Brussels ferry over to the Great River road, go down through Grafton (lots of police enforcement so watch yourself) and on down to Alton. Wonderful ride - we do it 3 or 4 times a summer. [Another reviewer adds:] This restaurant caters in smoke meats and fish. The meats will melt in your mouth and the Home made pies are to die for. You can take a nice ride up the Great Mississippi River Road or take a ferry ride in to Calhoun County. Rick from O'Fallon adds: Mel's beef brisket is the best in the known universe. Slow cooked with just the right blend of - I don't know what. But it is outstanding. Ask them and they'll bring you a bite. Anything you get at Mel's is good. This place is top notch. [Note: A.K.A. "Mel's Loading Dock" or "Mel's Illinois Loading Dock". Don't confuse this with the "Loading Dock" in nearby Grafton, another popular destination. Great scenic riding area for the MidWest. Even some twisties if you look hard.]

The food is great with daily specials and a soup and salad bar. The soup salad bar has the best beer cheese soup, chicken wings and the biggest cinnamon rolls any where.

The lemon custard (soft serve, think DQ but lemon) is perfect for a 100 degree day after the Springfield Mile! The old Caddy with the chicken on top is always a good photo op.

Another place we eat when going to the Springfield Mile. It is in the old GM&O RR Station, and the food rivals Italian in Chicago. A little more expensive, but very classy yet friendly place to chowdown on some good Italian fare. The ride from Springfield to Jacksonville on the Old State Road (called Jacksonville Road in Springfield) is one of the nicest in Central Illinois. No Dragon, but there are curves and elevation changes!

[Terry Hammond, "Father" of the Moonshine Run, Said:] Famous for Moonburgers but,,, impossible to tell ya why you have to come here - until you actually go... How can 500 bikers from 39 States and Canada who show up here in early April in bad weather be wrong!!! You come to Moonshine for a Moonburger- but you take home so much more!!! [John Archer added:] No trip to Illinois would be complete without one of those famous Moon Burgers. Out in the middle of no-where, just follow the bikers. Most everyone I met that lives down there is real friendly and I am sure they would be happy to show you the way should you become lost. I have seen cutoffs t's & flipflops, 3 piece suits, as well as full leather dressed enter the store. Go to the back, place your order and wander around inside while you wait for your food. Every time I have been there it was Standing Room Only inside. While the Moon Burgers are second to none, I am a pork fan and end up with a Pork Burger. Pik-Nik tables outside-NO ALCOHOL-and closed Sunday. [Charles960 added:] Oil wood floors. Get your own drink and chips. Old time general grocery store w/ small grill in back. You'll never forget it. Must be there before 1pm to get food. [Weasel adds:] In the middle of nowhere, best burger I can remember and the destination of the Moonshine Run. [Scout adds:] A few updates/corrections. In 2011 over 1000 motorcyclist showed up in April for the Moonshine Lunch Run. If you want a burger be there BEFORE 12:30. Helen stops the grill at 12:30 and that is by the clock in the store. It is one of those rare novelty places. Come for the lunch run. [Note: see http://moonshine-run.com for info on the annual April Moonshine Lunch Run]

Founded in 1995 by Chef Ron McFarlain. Ron was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana in the heart of Cajun Country. All of the Cajun dishes on the menu are comprised from his own recipes. Specialties consist of fresh battered Louisiana alligator, gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee', jumbo shrimp, boudin made weekly, and roasted pecan pie. Prices range from $2 to $20. Features a crawfish boil after Ron makes a trip to Louisiana for supplies. Keep checking back for the next crawfish boil or event.
Small but GREAT food, Gator was lite and great taste- kids really thought it was chicken. You have to save room for the pie. Great Ride to Starved Rock area then great food.

These dogs are the real deal...My family has been going here for 50+ years (that's how old my bro is, and it's the OLNY hot dog he will eat.) The dogs are a special recipe that only the owners Maury and Flaury know, the relish is a colour green that just isn't found in nature, and the fries are still done in lard. All this is stuffed into a box. I wash mine down with coke (real, none of that diet cr*p,) because their malts and shakes are way too thick to deal with during dinner. Now, being that I grew up in this area, the traffic doesn't bother me, but it might have the less hearty types shakin' on their pegs. It's the northwest side of Chicagah, whaddya expect?? But Milwaukee Ave/Devon rolls thru some old school neighbourhoods that have lots of sights and sounds to offer.

It's been a while since I've been in Algonquin, but the Texan BBQ is the BEST! Their baby back ribs are outstanding - the type where you pull on the bone and the meat falls off. The Cowboy Beef sandwich is my favorite if not in the mood for ribs.[Note: Their website only mentions the Algonquin location, but it has a photo of and directions to another restaurant of the same name in Lombard. Not sure what's up with that, but I'd call first.]

Helmets, license plates and photos of locals and their bikes adorn the walls. The crowd is a friendly mix of tattooed punks,bikers and River West yuppies. The menu includes barbecue, meat loaf, jalapeno poppers and the 1/2-pound Fatboy. For Saturday and Sunday brunch, there's French toast, banana-buckwheat pancakes, corned beef hash and the Road Rash Mary--a hot, spicy bloody mary accompanied by a beer chaser. Cant miss it, skeleton riding a gutted Indian spinning from a pole and 5 or 6 import bikes "planted" in front of the bld. full bar with lots of micro beers

The inside is a bit small but still plenty of room for a RTE! It is about two blocks from the Lighthouse Place Premium Outlet Mall, which is one of the largest outlet malls in the area (something for the ladies). It is also about 10 miles from the Indiana Dunes. Lots of hotels in the area and some great riding.

Good Grub and a very fair price. Full bar area and family dining. Very nice inside. Wood everything. Lots of aminals on the walls. Shelled peanuts in barrells for the takes. Roads are a little flat, but heading south from there you can get into hills and curves. Usually will see bikes parked out front anytime you stop by. I usually head there with a group of friends at least once a month. It's about a 1 1/2 hour ride for me. Worth the trip!

This story is literally moldy. I started working at Cozy Inn when I was 14. I had a Journal paper route and carried Bob Kinkels paper. He put me to work peeling and grinding onions and slicking pickles before I went to school. Got paid 45˘ an hour. Be there at 6 am. Took couple of hours and always a handful of bubble gum. Mr. Kinkel got me a permit from the City to walk in a place that sold beer after I was 16. I joined the Marines in 1943. Was sent overseas just before Christmas and I received a Christmas package while on Guadalcanal in February 1944. It had a very unique smell. It was a Cozy hamburgers with onions, pickles, catsup, mustard, some bubble gum and covered in mold. I kept it in my tent for a week or so just to look at and admire. Soon my Sergeant made me bury it out in the jungle. With the help of some Marine buddies we gave it a proper burial. Was like loosing a good friend and a little bit of Salina. That being said, it's a damn good slider, and one of the originals. Order a half dozen for a good snack. Jim - Salina KS

We love Miguels pizza and salads. They use fresh , local ingredients. The place is just outside of Natural Bridge State Park and the roads in the area are fantistic motorcycle roads. Check out the Nada tunnel on 77. If you are camping, I think its only a couple of bucks a night to camp behind Miguels. Be sure to get an Ale-8-One to drink, its a local soft drink that folks in Eastern KY are hooked on.

Established in 1905 in the French Quarter. Now located in Mid-City at 214 N. Carrollton Ave. New Orleans, La. 70119. Run by grandson Anthony Brocato. Fresh Cannoli(leave the gun), Italian Biscotti, Tira Mi Su Cake, Sicilian Cassata Cake, Spumoni! Don't forget the Italian Sodas.(Almond is my favorite).
They lost their original ovens that date back to the early 1900's in the Katrina Flood of the city. They are back big time. Old world charm when you walk in the door. Closed on Monday and I would not go there at night in the Chocolate City.

Great food, you will not be sorry. The restaurant is located on the east bank of the Mississippi River along River Road (LA-44). So if your riding the river road between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, La. you will pass it as this is the half way mark between the two cities.

The best steak and fried catfish you'll ever stuff in yer piehole. The Italian food is good too, but I keep going back for the beef and the fish. There is a problem, though: deciding which to have! Not much of a ride, but LA 9 south of the town has its moments, as does US 80 (used to be called "Killer 80") leaving the town EB. I don't go for the ride, but I can't keep myself away, because of the food.

This is off I-10, MM51 (Louisiana Ave.) A small grocery store with 6 tables and a processing plant. A small family of mom, dad and son run this place and make awesome cajun boudin ("bow-day") from an old family recipe. The "white" boudin is strictly pork shoulder, no organ or mystery meats. The seafood boudin contains local-caught crab and shrimp. They also have alligator boudin and boudin balls (no casing, deep-fried). All the boudin has a nice slow-burn heat to the spices. And they sell a lot of fresh-made cracklins, deep-fried pork skin.
Lafayette is known for it's competitive cajun food and M&S Grocery has the awards to vouch for it. Bring your Tums, though. :-)
Very friendly family that will talk about area history, cajun food and southern opinions, if you wish to hear it.

Best beignents & Cafe Au Lait available. When the news media talks about New Orleans beignents & Cafe Au Lait they usually mention the other place because of it's location in the French Quarter. Morning Call has it's roots in the French Quarter. It opened in 1870. They decided to move to Metairie in the 1970's because of a lack of parking and it's location was not as prime as the other place. The reason I think the Morning Call has the best beignets is because they cut them up and add them to fry one at a time overseeing them frying and taking them out as they are fryed to perfection.. The other place has a large tray that the set up several dozen beignets the size of charcoal briquetts that are dropped in the oil and raised out at the same time. Morning Call is also owned by an avid motorcyclist. Ask for Bob if you want to talk bikes.
Awesome! Best burgers & onion rings in town. Another reviewer adds: Plenty of paved parking. Great burgers and possibly the best onion rings around. Abundance of nostalgic sports memorabilia. Can accommodate large groups. Unique blend of grill / tavern / family restaurant. Not likely to disappoint.

they have the usual array of poboys, bar food and seafood. and it's all pretty tasty. the real treat is the mon-fri lunch specials. mondays are red beans and rice. it's my favorite place for red beans and rice. tue-fri there is not a set special. it depends on what the chef want to make. but it's all good. never had a special that i didnt like. so drop in, have a brew and check out the lunch special. if your on the bike the area around the shack is course gravel. in the pic you can see a small area of concrete on the right. if it's open thats where i park the bike. to the right of that, not pictured, there are bushes and houses. so if youre coming from the east it's easy to pass the shack or come up on it with out really seeing it until the last sec. the dixie beer sign is the only sign out front. and the intersection right next to the shack, on the left of photo, usu has some gravel from the lot. so be safe.

it's not in the greatest area. streets are beat up. pot hole everywhere. but i'm from La so i'm just use to it. i dont think i'd hang around there late at night either. but i dont think they're open for dinner anyway. it's family owned and operated. they're fried chicken is fantastic. they have fried pork chops but go for the chicken. it's a pretty limited menu. white beans or red beans as sides. i'm sure there are a couple more side dishes but i always get the white beans so im not sure what they are. if you're in a hurry dont go there. they open at 11 and there are only about 10 tables. and they fry the chicken to order. so you will wait at least 30 min. i've waited an hour before. usu just 1 person is cookin and a couple other helpin to serve. so just chill with your sweet tea and wait for your chicken. if you like fried chicken i highly recommend you give it a try if you find yourself in nola innominate

The ADV Maryland Tag-O-Rama group had a RTE there. Everyone seemed to agree the food was excellent. Although known for their pork, I opted for the brisket. Very nicely done. Had a side of collard greens that was awesome. My son had the pork and was supposed to give me a bite so I could try it. He claims he "forgot." As soon as we got home, we started talking about plans for a return trip. Some claim Andy Nelson's has the best BBQ in Maryland.

A casual, colonial-style old tavern in a historic theater building. Owned and operated by noted chef Stephen Mangasarian, and just opened in 2011. A little pricey, but once you've tasted Stephen's food, you'll know it's worth every penny and more. Menu and prices on the website. I strongly recommend the fish & chips or rack of lamb, but whatever you do, don't miss the onion rings! Stephen has his own secret recipe and I think they are the best in the country. Great riding nearby to Tilghman Island and the historic village of St. Michaels, the "town that fooled the British Navy."
Tell Stephen that Fred Rau sent you!

Food seems slightly better Monday-Thursday vice Friday-Sunday (same with the service, which is usually a solid 4/5 but with a rare 3). Ultimate BBQ Burger is excellent!! Try out Rt 450/Defense Highway (2 blocks away) which runs from Annapolis to Crofton, it is a pleasant curvy road. [Dave's is a national chain with 8 additional Maryland locations including Columbia, Frederick, Gaithersburg, Laurel, Owings Mills, Salisbury and Waldorf.]

Specialize in Chinese food but have good bar food as well. A local biker bar known far and wide. An anonymous user adds: Less than 10 mins from my house. My wife often sends me there to get food when neither of us want to cook. Everything is good here but we especially like the Thai food. They even put the food into containers that fit into my motorcycle

Stoney Creek Inn! (Maryland) I saw this on 'D-D-D' and had to head there. 1200 miles from northeast Ohio round trip and worth EVERY mile of it! Service was slow, and it was Labor Day weekend, butt I'm planning to return from their famous Crab Cake Dinner in summer 2010! [Another reviewer adds:] Had lunch there one day as it is near my daughter's house, stay away from the Cream of Crab soup unless you really like Old Bay. It also was very thick, Had the steamed crabs and they were very good. Since it was summer I opted to eat outside on the covered deck, this is a small and cozy place situated on Stoney Creek.

The food is good, service fast and servers treat you like family, Many of the same patrons from the early days still come here, including me when I'm in the neighborhood. the selections run toward comfort food and fried seafood with some healthy selections thrown in for those who want them. Don't forget to save room for the pie.

This is probably the fine dining hub in Freeport. The Inn has two dining rooms, each with it's own atmosphere. The main room is very upscale and much more formal than the Broad Arrow Tavern which is where most motorcycle riders will be more comfortable. Having said that, if you arrive on Sunday the brunch in the main room is not to be missed, just pack some casual clothes (chinos and a polo will do). The food and service are outstanding and are priced accordingly. Not overpriced, just fair for what you get. Highly recommended for a special dinner or Sunday brunch with chilled lobster. Riding in this area varies from coastal to farmland inland, many good roads to explore.

Route 27 Wiscasset Maine. Good food, good portions for your money, clean, good friendly service, Varied menu from sandwiche's to complete meals, seafood to prime rib. Free refills on your drinks (except juice and milk). They also have a kids menu. Very popular spot for breakfasts their specialty hence the name. The only downside is occasionally there is a wait in the morning because of seating but usually not long. Within twenty minutes of Boothbay Harbor a very popular tourist destination in Maine. Road conditions in the area are very good. May encounter heavy traffic on Route 1 on occasion. However there are ways around it if you consult a map or pm me @ NewEngland Riders or email me at oxhorn at roadrunner.com

Blueberry pancakes. Not pancakes with blueberry syrup. They throw a double handful of Maine blueberries into each pancake as it is cooking. Everything else is regular good breakfast food. This is one of three places I always stop when in Maine. Long wait on weekends. Calmer during the week. Riding through Acadia NP is the bonus.

I've eaten here a few times as I've passed through the Ogunquit/Wells area. I find the place to be down home comfy and clean with friendly waitstaff. Food is good. I highly recommend the seafood here, it's always fresh. Meals are decent portions and prices are fair. Not sure if the atmosphere here lends itself to a big gathering of bikers, lots of families and kids - but a few sport tourers would blend right in. For those with female pillion passengers that like shopping, the diner has a gift shop next door in case you'd like to have an authentic Maine Diner T-shirt or lighthouse mug. A bit further south on rte 1 treats you to nice views of the ocean and the Cape Neddick Lighthouse (The Nubble) is not far.

LOBSTER ROLL! That's all that you need to know. Red's has been a Maine institution for as long as I can remember. Just a small shack with picnic tables and a looooong line to get served. With good reason, many tourists and locals as well make Red's a must stop on their way up Rt 1. If you are in a hurry be advised you will wait, but the line moves fairly quickly and the wait is totally worth it. There are lots of roads to explore and the ride to Boothbay Harbor is a favorite of mine. [Note:] Warning, on summer weekends the bridge traffic has epic backups, budget an hour to cross.

I first tried this place about 30 years ago. The lobster is consistantly good, and so are the prices. I stop there every time I am in Maine, sometimes for 2 meals a day. The parking lot is gravel, but usually hard packed. It is nothing fancy. You order your lobster(s), get a number, then sit at picnic tables to eat out of metal trays. It is just across the causeway from Mt. Desert Island (Acadia NP). If coming from the mainland it is on the right, just before the causeway.

Arts has been the local hangout for decades, the tourist rule now. I usually get the surf and turf with tater tots. The wife loves the whitefish burger. The chili is very good. M 22 is the best riding maybe in all of Michigan. Curvy but not too tight, hilly, cool towns and over 100 miles long. Being close to Lake Michigan its always cooler than inland a few miles. Seeing a car with a gum drop on top is very very rare.

This place sits out in the country between Ludington and Pentwater on S. Lakeshore Dr. Most tourist have no idea its there. Same family owned for over 100 years. They deep fry whitefish, talapia, perch, walleye, smelt and a couple other types of fishes, and all of it is excellent. They also have a good selection of smoked fish. They are only open in the summer months and because they have alot of repeat business, they sell out most days of the week by mid-day. They only have seating outside on picnic tables or you can go across the street to one of the least known and best parks on Lake Michigan. Bring a swim suit. Be careful on the road south to Pentwater, its twisty and there is sand in some of the corners.

The Brown Bear has the biggest and best burgers I've ever had. Its smack dab in the middle of scenic downtown Pentwater, across from the harbor. There's seating on the upstairs deck with a great view of the harbor. Lots of other good restaurants and shops nearby too. The lakeshore roads in this area are great for cruising and rubbernecking. The public beach is one of the best on Lake Michigan and being near the big lake means its cooler than inland.

Portland is just a just a gas stop for most folks as they wizz by on their way to northern Michigan, but just down Grand River Avenue a little bit is one of the few places in the state that has a Cajun restaurant, a great Cajun restaurant. It sets right where the Grand River and Looking Glass River meet. They have a outdoor deck right on the edge of the river. After kayaking with the buddies today we stopped for lunch and I had a bowl of their Gumbo with a small basket of spicy grilled catfish with hush puppies. I've had their black and blue burger before and its most excellent. They brought around a basket of very good french bread which worked well with the gumbo. They have a full Cajun menu including sweet potato fries. The service is a little slow so just relax and enjoy the view. I've only ridden my bike on the back roads around Portland a little bit but with the rivers nearby they tend to be a little curvy with the occasional passing farm. Besides Dukes there is a good coffee shop on the rivers edge and a excellent ice cream shop too. Too burn off all those calories there are bikes paths that follow the rivers for a few miles. So the next time you get off the interstate at Portland for gas, go down to the river and dive into a bowl of Jambalia.

They are very biker friendly. The only drawback is the place closes in the winter months. And expect a short wait to be seated, but they have a bar to help you pass the time.

It has the best soup that I have ever eaten. It's served in a big bowl with home made bread. They have great sandwichs too, but after soup I don't have the room for anything else. Their breakfast is good too. Right next to Lisa's is a excellent walking and bicycle trail for burning off all those calories.

This is presently my favorite ride to eat in Michigan. What ever I get to eat here is excellent. They have the best ham and eggs. They give you a big hunk of ham off of a roast, not that sliced stuff like everyone else. The chili could be one of the best. Its a huge bowl, not too spicy with the right amount of beans, meat, tomatoes and spices. They have a good selection of fresh home made pies, coconut and peanut butter cream being my favorites. Excellent service too.........The riding is good in the area with Lake Michigan being just a few miles away and the Allegan state forest just down the road for the dual sporters.

Sweet mother of God is that for one person??? I have been coming here all my life on our way up to the lake, or home again. I do love Tony's, the BLT is where it's at! The bacon is a spectacle of the BLT that has won it's fame. They have much other stuff on the menu, all of it in completely ridiculous (in a good way) portions. My hands down favorite is the BBQ beef sandwich on Italian bread. The beef is slow cooked and fabulous, the bread is thick and good - most of a loaf I would imagine, and meant to be eaten open faced - I have no idea how you would bite into it! Friends have tried their Mexican fare and loved it, my dad loves their beef stew, full of veggies and huge chunks of beef in a mixing bowl. Everyone leaves with some good stuff for later. I highly recommend sitting at the bar across from the kitchen if you have the chance. You'll see just how much bacon comes and goes from Tony's. Prepare to be amazed and prepare to wait for a table. I hear ambulances are waiting nearby for cardiac arrest. Okay, not really, but you'll think that it's possible once you've visited Tony's.

Ah the twisty roads of the land of 10,000 lakes and the roads to get around them all. There simply isn't a bad road for scenery, curves, hills, lakes, trees and beautiful country side scenery within 50 mile radius of Billy's Bar. Tom Cruise has been spotted there a few times enjoying their homemade hand patty fresh hamburgers that are dripping in flavor, along with their outstanding onion rings and cheese curds, and off course that ice cold beer. Folks from eastern Dakota's and west central Minnesota find Billy's to be a perfect destination for good food and beverage. Place gets a tad busy and backed up during peak fall colors in Minnesota, but the rest of riding season should be no problem getting served in a timely manner.

This is a tiny little burger joint east of a town called Pelican Rapids MN just outside of Maplewood State Park in western Minnesota on highway 108. It is a resort that has served the area for 75 years or longer. They haven't done much modern day improvements to the buildings or the tiny burger joint. Burgers are hand patty fresh ground and fried on an open old fashioned grill. You will be served a basket like the 50's style drive-in that you will either eat in their 3 booth or 6 seat bar inside, or outside on their pick nick tables overlooking beautiful Lake Lida. This is the best kept secret in Minnesota. The property it is located on is worth a fortune, so we don't know how much longer they will be around. We do know they will be open again Memorial day thru Labor day 2010, but hurry, might be the last season. This is truely a great hidden treasure. I have taken dozens and dozens of folks for a ride there, and no body has ever been disappointed in the ride, scenery, roads and the food. Very unique and well worth the ride. Don't miss this one!!

The famous AB's didn't impress me. Neither the meat nor the sauce seemed worthy of note. They got famouse somehow, so I wonder if they are just coasting on a name and past accomplishments. Two other nearby locations at Ameristar Casino, and Kansas City Kansas. It has been a long while since I've been there - maybe a more recent review is in order, but I no longer live in the area. Volunteers?

We had a group of about 40 on bikes coming in staggered. They had no problem taking care of all of us. They have an outside patio for large or noisy groups with bands scheduled. Wide range of meals from BBQ to Seafood & Cajun dishes. The service was excellent. The prices even better. 2 of us ate for $20 w/ appetizer. This is in the heart of some of Missouri's best riding country. I really don't know what else you need.

While looking for a place to eat we spotted a lady with a tray of chocolate cake slices walking along the sidewalk. When I tried to negotiate for the purchase of a slice she sent us to The Belle' Rose Floral, Catering, Bistro. It is a small sandwich shop in the flower shop and if you don't have too many allergies they make good sandwiches. The cake is good too.

A true destination in the heart of one of Missouri's best riding areas for street bikes and dirt bike due to abundant trails and gravel roads in the Mark Twain National Forest. The Food is a notch above what I expect when I dine in Mid America. The hostess Bridget has created a destination that is open from 4:00 am week days for breakfast for truckers, motorcyclist for lunch. Opens noon Sundays for hungry riders.

It is a good RTE from the St Louis and surrounding areas....US 61 and Highway C run parallel to the Mississippi River...........take Missouri 177 from Fruitland/Hwy 61 into Cape Giradeau, and Broussards is at120 Main St in old town Cape Gireadeau. In addition, Grassroots BMW is two blocks southeast. Great food at a good price. They run daily specials and I have never had a bad meal there. And after you have eaten, you can ride all of the great roads west of I-55 in Southern Missouri.

This is a classic American diner. Rated best diner in St. Louis by readers of the Riverfront Times, any traditional diner food is your correct choice. I have a tough time choosing between the Meatloaf, the Turkey Club, or the best Chicken Fried Steak in St. Louis. Breakfast is served all day. The Biscuits and Gravy are an 8 out of 10.

Great place for riders to cool their heels while riding the nice twisties outside St. Louis. Try the Beef Allison - truly unique. Also love the Salmon, and the Shrimp Linguini. Even the salads are excellent. Their sauces are amazing! On the weekends a reservation can save you a long wait for a table. Just off Hwy T, one of the great riding roads along the Missouri River valley.

Not on the way to anywhere unless you're a local. Known for their steak and their fried bread. Great roads all around... but most fun way is to cross the Gasconade river using the Fredericksburg Ferry, and head south from there. There are about 200 yards of semi-steep gravel between the ferry and the blacktop on the west bank, no real problem but might freak some out if surprised. Be warned... the ferry schedule is erratic.

Home of the throwed rolls. Just off Highway 65 south of Springfield, MO on the way to Branson. There are only 3 Lamberts in the country and they are all amazing. The Food Channel ranked Lambert's the #1 place to pig out in the United States. Most meals are from $9-$14. I especially like the Chicken Fried Steak. There are attendants who are continually bringing around free side orders like: fried potatoes with onion; fried zuccini; blackeyed peas;etc. The place is famous for the hot "throwed rolls" that the waiters bring out about every 5 minutes. If you want one, just wave and the waiter will throw it to you from across the room. It's a hoot. Oh, and did I mention that every order is all you can eat. If you want 5 pork chops, they will bring you 5 and ask if you want another when you are done. I usually fast and hit the gym the day before I go, just to get ready. I go about 2-3 times a year. The up side is great riding in the Ozarks. The down side is, you usually have to wait up to an hour to get into the place. [Other locations in Sikeston MO and Foley AR]

As for Lamberts... The ribs are a must do!!!!!!!!!! Go extremely hungry. They have pass-arounds abounding and watch out for the throwed rolls!!! That's what the restaurant is famous for. Slather that thang up in sorghum molasses and let your taste buds tingle...
You have to go north or west to find some pretty roads near Sikeston. The Mark Twain Forrest is north west of there and is a beautiful area to ride. Over on the Illinois side, the Shawnee National Forrest is beautiful as well. During the right time of year (early spring), nearby Charleston, MO has an dogwood and azelea fest. When everything is in bloom the town is on fire with beautiful colors from pink and white dogwoods to every color imaginable of azeleas.
GibinMich Adds: Not only does Lamberts have great food, service and ambiance, if your coming from the Northeast to ride the Ozarks, this is where the roads begin to turn twisty and hilly. The bad thing about Lamberts? Way too much food! Not only is the main entree huge but then they bring around tatoes and black eyed peas, okra and rolls and whatever else they can find in the kitchen. Lamberts is huge inside with license plates decorating all the walls. I'm always miserable when I leave so I find a room and head for the hills in the morning. Enjoy!

Lewis Cafe is a landmark in the Midwest. They have been in business for 70+ years. The beef they serve is all locally raised. Portions are large and while we didn't have room for the freshly made homemade pies we were told by many that they can't be beat. They can accommodate large groups and have a friendly down home staff. Parking across the street is adequate for a lot of bikes. If your in the area make sure you stop in and grab one of the daily specials. You won't be disappointed. [Note:] St. Clair is situated near the northern tip of the Ozark region, where some great riding can be found. Head south from here to places like Potosi, Bixby, and Viburnum, and you will have fun. Here's a nice local loop from the Lewis Cafe: http://goo.gl/maps/0gMk

This is BBQ the quality that competition judges get. Best I've ever had. Ribs, Pulled Pork and Brisket are fantastic. The meat is rubbed and slow cooked, a selection of sauces on the table. Frito chili pie is strangely addictive. Deep-fried corn on the cob has a religious following, but I'd call it an acquired taste. Dining area basic but clean and comfortable. Sadly, no beer. I rated the service in the context of this type of restaurant - you order at a counter and they bring it to you at your table. Once you order it is FAST. The wait in line is often quite long for lunch on a business day. If coming in the evening, call first to make sure they still have what you want ... they close when they run out of food, which sometimes happens in the early evening. They never ever save meat overnight and reheat... it's all cooked that day - one of the big secrets to great 'Q and a VERY rare practice at restaurants. While you're there why not visit a few blocks away? It's free and way cool.

This place is great. Not fancy, not expensive but the best Tenderloin sandwiches and home cooked meals you'll have in these parts.

Avoid Friday night when it is a local football game. Hard to get a seat. If you can come in via Hwy 39 from either Table Rock Lake or Stockton Lake. Great sweeping curves, few twists and a couple of great straights.

Located on the west bank of the Gasconade river in an old three-story 19th century flour mill. The menu features some Cajun and Creole goodies, along with more generic offerings. Full bar. The food is good and worth a trip, but the great nearby roads push this well into the "Ride To Eat" category. Contrary to many maps, there is not a bridge there. The crossing is served by the Fredericksburg ferry. Best to call first though - depending on the time of year the ferry may only run on the weekends, and is closed all winter. An anonymous user adds: Just wanted to drop you an update. The ferry that crosses the river next to this restaurant has been temporarily closed. The ferry property & home are for sale after vandalism last fall.

No good rides real close, but a popular RTE destination nonetheless. It is on Chippewa, part of the original Route 66. It's a famous St. Louis institution. I recommend a Heath Bar and Marshmallow concrete. It's WAY better than it sounds. Or try the Cardinal Sin. Closed in January. There is another location on Grand in the city, open only in the Summer.

You've never seen anything like this unique St. Louis eatery, themed on exotic and historic racing memorabilia. But the uniqueness doesn't end with the décor, the menu is extremely varied with everything from locally touted burgers to imaginitive upscale offerings at very reasonable prices. Everything from the food to the ambiance to the service is top notch, and shows it is run by folks with a real passion for the place. It's all tied together under one city-block roof with and , a Ducati/Triumph/KTM dealership. The museum is something quite special. I don't think most of the clientele gets the references, but with menu items like the Velocette Cheesesteak, the Unadilla Reuben, Valentino's Wild Mushroom Pasta with grilled chicken breast - from an old hen maybe? (inside joke for Valentio fans), and Hailwood Blackened Grouper, you may have discovered a new place to feel at home. I rated the ride a 3 even though in the immediate area it deserves a 1. But there are solid "4" roads within an hours ride, south to the Ozarks or north to river country.

The burnt ends are excellent with some fried pickles or sweet potato fries washed down with a sweet tea.

I live close by. This is a day trip for us and we go here often with our riding group. The seafood is fantastic and they do offer other dishes as well. It is very good New Orleans type food, creole, etouffe, gumbo, jambalaya, etc. Would not hesitate to take friends there. You have to try the fried green tomatoes with crabmeat topping and remoulade sauce appetizer. Yum! Average price for a meal is between $12 to $18 per person. We take the ride along the coast on Hwy. 90. The area is cleaned up and the only signs of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath are the empty lots that once had beautiful old homes on them. Hwy 90 has the Gulf of Mexico on one side and beautiful old oak trees lining the other side. There are pull-offs all along the way, where you can stop and go for a swim or just baske in the warm southern sun. It's a nice easy ride.

This is a day ride for us and after seeing this place on the Alton Brown show and hearing about it from other bikers in our area, we decided to try it out. We were unimpressed and I think it's overrated. I grew up here in southeast Louisiana, eating greens, fried chicken, cornbread,etc. all the time and maybe my tastes are a little picky when it comes down to it. I thought it was edible but nothing special and certainly not the best fried chicken I ever had. If you're curious, it might be worth the trip but we probably won't go back. The people were friendly and the service was good though. We rode the Natchez Trace to get there, so the ride made it all worthwhile for us. C-Dude disagrees, saying: Great place - so much so, we ate there 3 times in the same weekend during the MS state SCRC Rally. Good ole country cooking, funky atmosphere but really good chicken! - be sure to ask about the cobbler desserts he keeps in the back! [Also on Feasting on Asphalt:] Fried chicken, corn bread, and greens. Alton said it was the best fried chicken he'd ever had.

Great place I'm supprised it is not on here already. They werealso in Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. BeemerBunny adds: We live nearby and this is a favorite day ride for our riding group. The ribs are excellent. This is casual eating - you place your order at the front counter and they bring it to the table. The owners are motorcyclists and very friendly. If you're in a hurry, I-10 is convenient and close by. We usually take Hwy 57 south. It's a nice ride... a little hilly and curvy and very smooth. You can also take Hwy 90 along the Gulf Coast if you like the scenic coastline. Average price is $12-$18 per person...reasonable for this area.

Upscale food in historic hotel. There are not many fancy places in Montana. The food here would be considered good any place. Here it is the best in the area. The Grand Hotel is a nice place to stay with most rooms without an attached bath. Near by Boulder and Yellowstone Rivers offer outstanding fishing. The scenery is not as spectacular as found in Yellowstone Park, but what is. Yellowstone Park, while not real close, is within a couple of hours drive.

On our trip into Montana this summer, my brother and I found this - HENRY'S DINER in downtown Libby, Montana ... main street I guess, Hwy #2 what a blast from the past ! ... a real, honest-to-goodness 50's diner, a great place to have a great traditional breakfast while watching small town america as it gradually fades into black ... but not just yet ! If you'r lucky the table next to you will say hello, and some old guy will pull up in his '62 Vette so they and you can all drool over it. yup, Henry's Diner is worth a stop.

A highlight of the Guadalupe valley for over two decades. Their food is incredible, the staff is friendly. You feel like you've discovered a gem in the middle of no where. You have to cross to Mexico - use either San Ysidro or Tecate. Makes a great day trip - or use Ensenada as an overnight. You're no where near Tijuana, and far away from the issues of a border town.

Pit cooked pork, Homemade sides Lunch,Dinner, Breakfast On Saturday Cooked the old fashioned way, hickory logs for hours... low and slow! Fantastic food no matter what you order. Even the fries are homemade on site. They cut up potatoes there and cook 'em and they get kinda brown looking when done. Like at home, ya know? Coleslaw, desserts, baked beans, you name it. If it's BBQ'd pig you want -stop here. Minutes from Durham. I have ridden to here for lunch many times (over an hour trip, past 7 bbq places at least) because it's that good.

B's BBQ in Greenville is the best BBQ you will ever eat. When I'm in Eastern, NC I'll ride 75 miles out of my way to eat there. The resaurant is not big on ambience, nothing fancy, don't expect too many amenities, From the outside the place looks like a dump but it's clean. But don't let the looks stop you from enjoying the best Eastern NC BBQ money can buy! It's located behind Pitt Memorial Hospital at the end of Bs BBQ Road. You can't miss it because you'll see cars paked beside the road and peple walking up to the restaurant before you get there. The pigs are cooked outside in a REAL BBQ pit so you'll smell it long before you get there. Expect to stand in line, the service is prompt there's just that many people show up at lunchtime. The workers are friendly but very busy. They have a combo platter BBQ and Chicken for around $7.00, unless you're hungry or have a HUGE appetite you will not finish it. I recommend buying either the BBQ or Chicken Platter. If I'm with my wife I uy the combo platter and share, I eat the pig, she eats the chicken, both delicious and melt in your mouth. The meal is served with for want of a better name I'll call them fried cornbread sticks which are very delicous. The food is prepared fresh, nothing is made in advance and frozen or refrigerated, it comes off the pit straight to your plate. The only drawback on this is that when the pigs and chickens are gone for the day, there's no more. On Saturdays B's BBQ is only open when the ECU Pirates have a home game, you have to get their early because it goes quick for the tailgaters. If the Pirates aren't playing, they're closed on Saturdays. You may find fancier BBQ restaurants, but I'll wger you'll find none better.

Located between Goldsboro & Mount Olive this is some of; if not, the best BBQ I've ever eaten. Country roads lead to Grady's with some pretty good scenery but the BBQ is the best part of this trip. They also serve up some mighty fine sides of in-season fresh vegetables and some tasty Southern iced tea. BBQ is cooked over hardwood coals and seasoned to perfection. So far, I've not tried their sauce....the 'cue is good enough on it's own that sauce is not needed.

Located just off of I-77 at exit #5. Absolutely fanTAStic barbecue! This is a MUST EAT location. No, this is not Sonny's, which is nearby and you will pass them on the way to Hillbillies. Don't bother with Sonny's. This place is MUCH better! They have ribs to die for, the pulled pork melts in your mouth, the hush puppies are like popcorn (you'll just keep eatin' them until they're gone!) [Update from original reviewer:] I'm downgrading my rating for them. The food is still aces, but the service... well, I think kindergartners could do a better job. [Note: two other NC locations, Gastonia and Lowell]

If you are riding the Outer Banks be sure to check out Howard's Pub on Ocracoke Island. It has a fantastic atmosphere with dining inside , on a porch and on the deck on the roof. They offer a full menu but I can not vouch for all the fare. I usually get the raw oysters and perhaps some conch fritters. The do have a very large (200+) selection of bottled beer and (I believe) 20+ beers on tap. Even though I can not personally vouch for most of the menu, I have been several times with groups of friends and have never heard a complaint. Most nights in the summer they have live music from a variety of different bands. If you are planning a ride to the OBX just to to the website and usually they will have the music listed. Be aware if you are motorcycle camping that the mosquitos on Ocracoke will eat you alive. Also if you don't like riding with a cross-wind you might think twice about this ride. There is a reason Wilbur and Orville chose the Outer Banks for the first flight - constant wind. As far as the roads go, flat and straight. It is the Outer Banks of NC so there is not much in the way of curves or hills, but if you like riding along the Atlantic Ocean the scenery is good. The only way to get to Ocracoke Island is VIA ferry. Be sure to check the schedule at 1-800-BY-FERRY daily from 6:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Great Italian food in a family setting. Not a lot of tables inside but outdoor dining around the fountain is nice. All ABC permits, but it's not a drinking destination. Spaghetti sauce, pizza dough, meatballs, alfredo sauce, all homemade. Owner's wife makes the tiramisu. Service is usually fast and friendly. Motorcycle friendly, riding gear no problem. Lots of cruisers and sportbikes on weekends. Open Tues. thru Sun. all year round lunch til 9PM. At intersection of NC181 (good road north out of Morganton on I-40) and NC221 near Grandfather Mountain. Excellent roads in any direction, two miles off Blue Ridge Parkway. Pineola Motel next door, gas station on other side.

I had to try this mighty fine BBQ outfit on the south-west side of Lexington, NC yesterday. Highly recommended. Chopped kind. Lexington, NC is the BBQ capital anyways... Tor [Another reviewer adds:] The shining example of Southern pork, hickory smoked pork bbq. The location is ok, tricky driveway for some riders. The smoke will entice you from the highway. The service is fast, the waitresses and owners are friendly, the pork is fabulous regardless how you like it. The will slice, cube or chop it. You can get it with or without "bark." The coleslaw is wonderful! The hushpuppies are great. I am drooling just writing about it!!! Unfortunately, like many of the current bbq places, the prices are kinda high for "peasant food." It seems like bbq places have to charge upscale prices now, for some reason. :-( Kendal Johnson's chopper shop is not too far away and makes for a good ride stop. [RDY2GO! adds:] I'm a long time Lexington resident and have eaten at every BBQ place in town many times. We call this place the "Honey Monk" and to be honest I don't know the origin of the nick name. When compared to the other local joints it's not bad and rates in my top three. (Reviews of nearby Speedy's or "Whitley's", rated even higher by this reviewer, trimmed) [Note to Author: brief mentions of nearby spots are ok, but actual reviews of other spots should be added as their own entries.]
This is a great little sandwich shop. The menu has a very very large selection of "celebrity" wraps and sandwiches. The selection is almost overwhelming. I chose the special of the day with tuna salad on the side. Normally I am not a fan of wraps, but this one was fantastic. I can't remember the name for sure but I think it was the "Alice Cooper". The owner is very very customer service oriented and takes pride in his product and service. That is a rare thing to see these days. The food was so good I ordered a second wrap and ate that as well. As far as the roads in the area, it is in downtown Cherokee NC, nothing more needs to be said. The Blue Ridge Parkway, not too far from Tail of the Dragon, basically any direction you turn you will be on great motorcycle roads.

Mt. Airy is located near some great riding such as the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's also the hometown of Andy Griffith. The Snappy Lunch was made famous in his TV show. Barney use to go there for a pork chop sandwich. The main grill is located right in front of the window and you can tell it's cooked plenty of pork. Other than their world famous pork chop sandwiches their breakfast is pretty good too. [Jim Bain adds:] Snappy Lunch is one of my "Must Stop" places when I am in the area. In addition to the Pork Chop Sandwich, the Breaded Hamburger (or cheeseburger) is worth the trip as well. Remember they close in the early afternoon, so get there early and be prepared to stand in line on the sidewalk waiting to get a table.

Located on the east side of the Cherohalla Scenic Byway the Snowbird Mountain Lodge is not really a restaurant but instead is an all-inclusive mountaintop lodge; built in the 40's; in a log cabin/craftsman style. The Snowbird Mountain Lodge is everything a lodge should be. Quite and relaxing! The lobby is big and open with heavy beam ceilings and plank flooring. Huge panoramic windows allow beautiful viewing of nearby mountains from the over-stuffed leather chairs and sofas. The same view is available from the lodge's ample stone patios. There are thousands of current books to choose from on the lobby's wall-to-wall-bookshelves. A huge stone fireplace provides a wonderful aroma in the lobby. The lobby is very comfortable!
Food at the Snowbird [all meals are included in the price] is always good and the wine selection excellent. Packed lunches are prepared for those who choose to explore nearby hiking trails and/or the Cherohalla Scenic Byway during the day. Off the dining room with it's own fireplace is a small very comfortable bar that has a large and excellent selection of scotch. If you are planning to stop by just to eat, call first to find out the schedule, as meals are served only at set times.

Author1:Food is wonderful and different. Go when you have plenty of time so you can read all the signs and look at the decor. When I say the food is different , It is the usual but just served in a surprising way. You will love it. Author2: Excellent food with twisted names, obviously the owner has a sense of humor. Great service and a friendly atmosphere. Inside and outside dining. Stop in after riding Old Liberty Road or touring the Richard Petty museum.

This is a little bar and grill in S.E. ND. in a town named Mooreton, right off I-29 interstate highway, about 25 miles from Dakota Magic Casino in Hankinson ND. The roads to get there are good, but the scenery is flat and not a lot of trees. The open skies and sunsets are spectacular on the open prairie, to say the least They do have homemade food and again hand patty fresh hamburgers fried on an old fashioned grill. They do serve a bread pudding that is to die for! And of course, the coldest beer this side of the great rocky mountains!

Originally owner raised most of his food locally, built a new ranch style building for the restaurant, nothing fancy, just plain and clean. Unfortunately the locally tourist attraction has been closed for economic reasons. So they are open on week-ends. Problem is you get too much to eat,nothing fancy just good and not expensive. They still operate their green houses where locals buy plants, etc. We will go there for a noon meal even tho it is over 100 clicks from Lincoln, it is kinda a certral location for other family members.

Not sure how to describe this place. It is about 100 miles from our home and we will go there for lunch. It is very upscale in food qualtiy, blue collar, family in atmosphere doesn't have to be expensive but they have food and beverages you will not find in many other places and certainly not in a tiny town like Stanton. The owner has received international recognition, jeez Google it when yo have time and you might understand why some one with limited vocab struggles to describe it. forget the address, it is located in an old bank building in a conspicuous site.

My wife and I were on holiday in the NE last week (2-10 October, 2009), and travelled Route 2 from Burlington Vermont to Bangor Maine. We were leaf-peeping. Just after crossing the VT/NH state line eastbound, we saw Joshua's Grill on the right. As it was 2pm, and we were hungry, we thought we'd give it a go. The parking lot was quite full, and as Lancaster isn't exactly tourist-central, we assumed that the vehicles belonged to locals, always a good sign. After getting inside, we were greeted and seated. The decor was very cozy and homey, complete with a roaring fire in the very large stone fireplace. We were seated at a very nicely prepped table, complete with cloth table-cover, and cloth napkins. Very nice silverware and glassware. Sounds weird, but impressive if you think about where you might usually dine. Or at least the places I usually dine .... The dining room was sub-divided into five smaller seating areas, offering a very intimate meal experience. The sound-level was as could be expected in a full establishment, but not "sports-bar" loud. Very comfortable. My wife and I both had the Lobster Bisque (they were out of the NE Clam Chowder ), but that's OK; the bisque was phenomenal. Very large pieces of Maine lobster swimming in some of the best soup/broth I've had in a very long time. I ordered the fish & chips, my wife had pork tenderloin. Friends, if either of these dishes were/are representative of the balance of the menu, then I humbly suggest trying more of anything that catches your eye. The menu offered seafood, chicken, pork, and beef, light lunch fare (sandwiches), to full-blown dinner entree's. Both of our meals were absolutely incredible. As we were there just a half-hour before closing, I was not able to speak with the chef. He'd left after our meals were completed. He was off on break before they re-opened for dinner. I'm born & raised in MA, but keep forgetting the most of the country has a different schedule that 24-hours-a-day,-7-days-a-week-Florida. So please check the website listed above, and call before you plan on going to be sure that they'll be open .....I'll leave you with this: Joshua's Grill is truly a gem hidden in the beautiful New Hampshire surroundings. If you are in that area, please take the time to enjoy a fantastic meal. You'll be glad you did ....

Really, I mean really good ribs and barbecue. The kind that only a few years ago you couldn't find in New England or anyplace north of the Mason Dixon. This is a jeans and Tee shirt kind of place, just made for us bikers. Rustic with bare wood, but clean.Good food, cold beer, soft drinks and coffee. I wasn't able to test the deserts after eating the serving of ribs. Definitely worth a stop. Located in Manchester so you have to go a little to get some good riding heading west will get you to some good roads after a few miles.

The Chatterbox is one of my favorite NJ eating destinations. First, because the roads and scenery are some of the best to be found in the state. Sussex County has many great riding roads. It's mostly rural with lots of high country vistas.
Second because the hamburgers at Chatterbox are some of the best I've had anywhere. Same goes for the fries and onion rings. And the malts/shakes are thick creamy and delicious! The Chatterbox is also a very motorcycle friendly place.
What else needs to be said?

If you find yourself heading south on Rt 35 or near PPB check out Frankie's. Great food, generous portions and a lot to choose from. My fav is the grilled chicken sandwich, at $8.it's a cheap meal for lunch or dinner, they're other sandwiches and dinners are good too.Steaks, salads, ribs, sea food it's all good. Worth the wait even in the summer, you can get any food to go(except the crock of french onion soup)if you just can't wait! On a bike you can almost always get a spot to park right out front, but there's plenty of free parking close by.Less than a mile from the ocean you can ride from Manasquan Inlet to Island Beach State Park right along the beach.

Why ride here? Bikes are much easier to park in Hoboken than cars! A short distance away is Palisade Ave in Jersey City with great views of NYC, also great views can be had a few blocks away along the river. As far as food, it's gourmet pizza(best I've ever had!) brick oven, fresh mozz and basil to start then add your own choices. Try the eggplant, I'm not a veggie fan but this is good stuff! Select beer and wine is available as well. Located on the corner of Clinton and Second they also have seating outside so if you park close you can watch your bike(esp. if you parked in a questionable spot)The owner has mentioned they will be opening another location on Washington St., but this one will remain.

Very good food. The stromboli is great, and the cajun wings are awesome. The place is oddly laid out, and the service is really hit or miss. We've been there quite a few times. Usually the wait time is acceptable, but not great. One time we waited over an hour before someone came to take our order. We were getting up to leave when they finally came over to serve us. Management apologized and made sure we were served promptly, but it left a bad impression on us and we haven't been back since. The place is also in a sketchy part of town.

Its worth the almost 2 hour drive from Reno just to feed on their famous cheese burger and fries. Old west stop with saloon, cafe, mini market, gas (sometimes not.) Real friendly people there. Close to a great motorcycle road 722 and the shoe tree. Middlegate Station is at the junction of US 50 "The Loneliest Road..." and 361. They always seem to be busy with hunters, bikers and other buckaroos. They also rent out rooms. They also put on some great BBQ feeds during some holidays that are worth the run out there. Admin Note: The address says Austin Hwy, but it's really on 436 just south of 50. The coordinates are accurate.

Great place to stop in Boulder City's little downtown historic district. Great food, healthy portions, biker friendly, and an overall fantastic atmosphere. Also try Mel's Diner next door if you get the chance - less seating but even better food. This is a popular destination area for those visiting the Hoover Dam (about 10 minutes south on US 93) so both places often fill up with tourists - especially on the weekends. Expect a bit of a wait for a seat on weekend mornings. Otherwise, stop in and give both places a try! One last thing - both places are breakfast and lunch establishments only! So get here early.

Recommended at Cha Cha Hut BBQ: Beef Brisket - done as kind of a cross between Texas & Kansas styles. Not too smokey with a great crust. Smoked Mac & Cheese - creamy mac & cheese with peppers & onions. They actually put trays in the smoker. The ribs are pretty great as well.

This place is GREAT!, Home Amish style. Chances are that you will be served by an Amish person. As you walk in, make SURE you look by the cash register for that days fresh pies before you order a meal. They are closed on Mondays. Saturday & Sunday you can get breakfast that will hold you over till lunch. Usually a special for lunch ans well as supper too. there is a gravel parking lot and the "regulars" are use to having a few motorcycles in there all the time.

Located just off of I-75 at Exit 73 in Ohio.
We found this after checking into the hotel right next door. Family rest. with some SW items. The food was so good, we had breakfast there the next day. Hours were 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. The owner, Hector came around with coffee and asked us how our meals were.
Good sized portions, reasonable to cheap prices, HOME MADE food.
The place was filled with locals. I highly recommend this place.

They have the "whopping" fish sandwich and many other seafood items, as well as steaks, pasta, pizza, and a large assortment of sandwiches.
They have a full service bar, boats to rent for the lake and even a cottage with weekly rates. The roads in this part of eastern Ohio are meant for riding, the parking lot is usually full of motorcycles on weekends. Sometimes a stop for a poker run. This place is just North of state route 172, west of Lisbon and between US 30 (The Lincoln Highway) and state route 9.

Lately, on wednesdays you get a half of chicken on a bed of white rice with a lemon chicken sauce for $3.00.... Yup,, 1/2 chix.. Your are required to purchase a beverage to get this special. Iced Tea to the hard stuff counts toward the price.

The food is always prepared fresh and a trip to the Sunrise Cafe is like having breakfast with family. Just remember that your family can be downright rude to you! Expect some banter and to exchange insults with the wait staff, it's part of the appeal of the place. This is a family owned and run eatery, I eat here every year when camping nearby and it's always been a great experience.

This is more than a burger joint. There is a bar with micro-brews. They are also known for their signature filet mignon chili, although we didn't try it when we were there. Terry's was named Ohio's best hamburger on the Food Network magazine's “ultimate burgers” list in 2009 and was featured on Diners, Dives and Drive-Ins in 2010. The place is small and parking is on the street. We arrived about 4:00 on a Saturday and waited about 45 mins to get a table, but it was well worth the wait! A huge burger is $7.50 and hand-cut fries for two are $3.50. daveinoh adds: Friendly, loud, eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor type of place. Converted barber shop I think. Burgers made to order, some with a gourmet touch. Try the Smoked White Cheddar with Caramelized Onion Burger and thank me later. Be prepared to wait outside on busy nights. Located a stones throw from Lunken Airport, look for the neon signs.

Eischen's is the oldest bar in Oklahoma (established in 1896), but they serve way more chicken than beer. Order the whole fried chicken ($9.00) and if you like fried okra, get it too ($5.00). The chicken is served on wax paper in a paper box (just like everything else) and comes with a side of several slices of bread, dill and sweet pickle slices, and onions.

Everything completely cooked from scratch like grandma used to do. Big Chicken Fried Steak,Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, Bar-b-Q (call for daily menu) Blueberry Cobbler, fried okra, cabbage really great food. If you're in a hurry call and order about an hour before you arrive. Be sure and take cash money with you because they don't have a credit card machine. This is an old store that was used in the movie "Where the Red Fern Grows". Good idea to stop in Keys and get directions because it is back off in the hills on the Cherokee Nation.

Meers was always a favorite lunch stop on rides in the local area when I was growing up, decades ago. It's more touristy now than it was then, but the food's as good as it ever was. They offer a full menu these days, but the only thing I've ever ordered is the Meersburger. Hands down, the best burger I've ever had. The place is best reached by riding through the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. It's a pleasant ride, scenic, with lots of animals to see, and good pavement, but too short in my opinion. As long as you're in the area, take some time and ride to the top of Mount Scott. You can see pretty much the whole area from there. [Ed. Note:] Can be very long lines at peak times

Pam's Hateful Hussy Diner is an institution in Talihina,OK. Anyone who has ever ridden the Talimena Scenic Byway between Talihina and Mena, AR has been past it but until someone tells you about it, you'll ride right past it and never see it. The storefront gets lost in the dreary line of open, half open and closed up stores along main street Talihina. Breakfast is the reason for visiting. I suppose no one needs the salt, but their salt cured, thick sliced bacon is not something you want to pass up. Really good eating. Everything else on the menu is good, but come for the bacon and eggs.

Sit and overlook Chemong Lake while you eat. Homemade bakery also on site. Parking lot and extra parking across the road. Riding in the area is great also cause you are riding within the Kawortha Lakes and the Trent Severn Waterway area. Many small towns throughout the Kaworthas.

FOOD: Bare bones atmosphere, with a few logging photos and memorabilia on the walls, left over from the previous owner, but the food was simple and very tasty, just as a family restaurant should have. Good prices, flavor, and portions.
RIDE: The roads into Fossil are excellent, with lots of smooth curves of varying radii, almost universally good pavement, and since it's in the high desert, the visibility is almost always unobstructed by trees. The only cautions are animals and rocks.

Korner Post is a great diner & family restaurant. The rustic atmosphere features antiques from around the world. The food is good and the service friendly.
I first discovered the Korner Post in a great story by Motorcyclist magazine columnist Jack Lewis in his book "Coming and Going on Bikes:Essaying the Motorcycle". He stopped in there after riding the amazing Clackamas river highway (OR 224) over the mountains from Estacada (near Portland) to Detroit. It's also right next to OR 22 on the way from Salem to Santiam Pass (OR 22-US 26) on the way to Sisters & Bend in Central Oregon.
But the Steel Wheels Lounge is the best reason to stop. It features a life time of collecting Motorcycle Memorabilia called MOTORCYCLE MANIA. Outside is a collection of motorcycles on display that continues to grow.
The Korner Post-Steel Wheels is definitely worth a visit and there are no bad roads that get you there! A great round trip for a day ride is back to Portland.

Good "Mexican" food. You know, the American style of Mexican food. Large servings, enough for two good meals each, very filling. Pleasant patio dining considering its location on a major highway. Good beer selection on tap (just not what's on the menu - ask your server). As for the roads, the N-S main line is US 97, and many would consider it very boring and straight, but coming from wet Seattle, I enjoy the central Oregon desert for a welcome climate change. Also, there are many, many good roads to the East and West of US 97, so Redmond is a good place to rest up for another day's riding.

Tastee Treet is owned by a motorcycle rider that has lots of good information about good roads in OR. He and his wife also put out "..the best food in Prineville..." according to the City Center Motel staff across the street and we agree. We had their dinner special which was great but they also put out a awesome breakfast. Sitting around the U shaped counter with stools makes you think you entered the 50's. Lots of great food cooked the way you like it. Breakfast was a great start to hitting the road to Paulina and twisties east of there.

Wet Dog Cafe is a NW microbrewery & restaurant. They serve (IMHO) very good fish 'n chips, burgers and other "pub" type fare, along with their own micro-brew (and other) beers. The generally have a number of "home-made" pies as well. The cafe' is on the mouth of the Columbia river, and on nice days you can sit on the patio and watch large cargo ships go upriver towards Portland.

FOOD: Homey, comfortable, good basic food, interesting plywood wall covering. RIDE: US97 is kind of interesting, especially if you don't have to ride it too frequently. It often seems very remote, is generally in good condition, the scenery is great if you like the Ponderosa Pine forest. You can also get to Chemult via the East and West on other twistier roads. US97's worst characteristic is straightness. And Bend.

Constructed in the mid 1800's as a brewery and currently functions as a brew pub with a wide range of menu selections; the burgers however, are somewhat disappointing for a "bar burger". The Alois Restaurant (located in the old hotel section) and the Catacombs Restaurant (the old aging aging cellar) are open for dinner after 5/5:30. The Biergarten (seasonal) and the Bottling Works (the pub section and a very unique room) are open for lunch at 11. The beer is handcrafted small batch with six choices available and available only at Bube's. This place is loaded with charm and an excellent place to gather for a RTE. Located in Lancaster County, touring roads and points of interest are numerous and varied. The Railroad Museum of PA and the Strasburg Railroad (an out and back on a restored turn of the century train) are worthy of the time. May Post Office Road just east of Quarryville up to Strasberg is a favorite. Just about any road that crosses between 741 - 340 - 23, put you in the heart of Amish farmland. Judgment (personal opinion) of the roads in the area is based on a spread that ranges from I-95 between Baltimore and Washington DC in morning rush hour being a "1" and Central Colorado and Utah being a "5", therefore, can't rate the roads in the area above a "3". If you do not get off of the well traveled thoroughfares and venture on to the back roads, the riding is not very interesting. If it isn't paved, it is someone's driveway and I don't recall any dead ends; the back roads are where the fun is.

The atmosphere? Think any prison cafeteria. The hours? Whimsical - call ahead to make sure they're open. The food? Excellent!
Seriously, these folks do all the meat over a real wood fire out back. Served on paper plates with a roll of paper towels for napkins, the somewhat limited menu is all very, very good, but the place looks like a set from a Mad Max film. Availability of some items gets sketchy later in the day 'cause the food has been cooking since 8:00 am. Prices are very reasonable and portions are decent.
The roads in the area are a delight: In particular State Route 453 North out of town is a great ride on excellent asphalt, eventually winding to meet SR 879 and Clearfield, home of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub mentioned elsewhere on this site. [Note:] 2 other locations, 1 in State College, 1 in Hesston

I'm big on breakfast, and the breakfasts at Dean's are real value for the money. And, it's okay to eat pie for breakfast...right?
It's on US RT 22, which is awful, but there are other ways to get there. the crossroad is PA 217 which, while not exactly epic, is a pleasant road running north/south.

Route 32 (River Road) from Washington's Crossing, all the way up into Rt 611 north is a fun winding road along the Delaware River, passing through several small towns, including New Hope. Known for antique shops, restaurants, and the Bucks County Playhouse, New Hope hosts thousands of visiting motorcyclists every weekend. Dilly's Corner is just a few miles north of New Hope, and serves some of the best soft-serve ice cream in the area, as well as good burgers and hotdogs. The parking lot is gravel, so it's best to park near the fringes where the gravel is not too deep. Roads in any direction from Dilly's are fun and scenic. Beware local PD roadblocks on summer weekends - they are a scam to shake-down bikers, so make sure your registration, inspection, insurance, and license are in order.

Three restaurants in one: a very good home-style family restaurant, an ice cream stand with a wide variety of styles and flavors, and a firehouse themed pizza joint with excellent pizza, subs and Italian fare. Prices are very reasonable and portions very generous. Bring a friend, eat the 30" 12 lb pizza in less than an hour and get two t-shirts and split $200!
Seriously, it's nearly impossible to get a bad meal here and they love bikes and the folks that ride 'em. Plenty of indoor seating with a patio area out back, lot is NOT paved, but a reasonable packed gravel surface (Goldwing friendly) with paved "motorcycle only" parking on the right side.
Easy access to I-99 but also adjacent to intersection of PA 350 and "old" US Rt 220, scenic rides both with connections to US 322 in Philipsburg and State College respectively.

The Gatto Cycle Diner is a 1949 O'Mahoney Company Diner. The 85,000-pound diner was trucked to its present location and lovingly restored by the Gatto family. Every effort was taken to return the diner to its original state. The counter was rebuilt to exact specifications. The stools and booths that couldn't be refurbished were built with details so precise that it's impossible to distinguish them from the originals. The jukebox was stocked with 50s hits and the walls were adorned with Gatto's collection of antique motorcycle photographs. The diner was a dream come true for owner George Gatto, who envisioned his customers relishing the chance to return to the glory days of James Dean, rock 'n roll and lunch counter hang-outs you never want to leave.
Attached to the largest Harley dealership in western Pennsylvania. You have to go through the shop to get into the diner.
Hours are Monday through Saturday 8:00 AM TO 5:00 PM

Heislers is a great place to cruise to being located in a valley surrounded by low mountains.
Lots of bikes on weekends..a waffle house across the road and ice cream, hot dogs and burgers and even mini golf. Roads leading to it are fun and twisty and not heavily trafficked.
The next valley north is the start of the Schuykill river along Rt 209. We also liked Wildcat Rd, Catawissa Rd south and north from Heislers, Cold Spring Rd. As a ride to eat/rest destination, Heislers is a perennial favorite. Heislers opens in mid March through October and closes for the season.

I can't say enough good things about this place. If you want to eat in Altoona, this is where you want to go. It's not so much a bar and grille as it is a small, family-style restaurant that happens to have a bar. The home-style fare is excellent, portions are more than generous and you simply can't get a better meal for your money anywhere in the area. Family owned and operated, Tim's takes customer service seriously. Literally a house in a residential neighborhood, you have to look for it. It's worth the trouble.
Yelp says they don't take reservations. Wrong. Friday and Saturday nights you need to have your reservations called in by early afternoon or you're not eating there.
It's in the heart of an in-city neighborhood, but they DO have dedicated, paved off-street parking. The lot IS steep, but I park my BMW there all the time. Just off the 17th Street exit of I-99. Plenty of excellent riding in every direction. If you're visiting Johnstown, PA for "Thunder in the Valley" it's only an hour ride. 45 minutes from Penn State.

A great stop-off / meeting place off the I78 corridor. Yocco's hot dogs, alone, are worth a trip to Allentown. Add a side of pierogies, and it's petal to the metal time.
The hot dogs are Medford dogs, Texas Wiener style, on a bed of chopped onions and a heavy duty mustard with a coating of chili sauce. Their hamburgers, cheeseburgers and cheese steaks are all great, but the classic meal of 3 dogs, a large pierogies and a chocolate milk is what Yocco's is all about. Note: 5 other locations in PA, check the website. No Pierogies or fries at the Original location on Liberty in Allenton.

This is a biker bar. Limited seating so if you're there to eat I suggest you arrive before 4:00 P.M. Staff was friendly and service was good considering there were only two bartenders who also acted as the waitresses. They have a very impressive beer selection for such a small establishment but nonalcoholic drinks are also available. All members of our group had good food and we ordered just about everything on the menu. Local roads are very nice so Cady's makes for a great lunch destination ride from anywhere in Southern New England.

Very nice place for a seafood shanty. Like all seasonal, waterfront places, expect the price to be a buck or two higher, simply for the scenery. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating, with covered tables too. Guy Fieri went here for "DDD" and loved the lobster chow mein. After lunch here, a quick jaunt to Grey's Ice Cream in Tiverton Four Corners is recommended. Meanwhile be careful when parking as their lot is covered with crushed seashells.
The ride is spectacular: far enough away from city traffic yet close enough to get to in 30 minutes from "big cities". Great launching point for southern Tiverton, Little Compton, Westport, Acoaxet, and surrounding areas.

Ahhh BBQ. LJ's has been winning awards since it opened in the early 90s. The first time I ate there the food was out of this world. The brisket melts in your mouth. To make sure that LJ's was the real deal I ate there a second time, ordered the same thing, and it was just as good as the first time. This place is the real deal!

Suzie-Q's is an old-style burger place. Nothing flashy on the menu. Just an isolated little restaurant at the intersection leading to some of the best riding in southern New England. Just the right amount of grease, with enough left over to lube your bike. Ruckus Oct 08

Off the beaten path and definatley not your normal seafood resturant! Kinda like walking into a back country shanty but man, WHAT GREAT SEAFOOD! Interesting setting and decor, one whole wall of the place was old tv sets from floor to roof. Rustic, picknick tables, inside or outside eating, right on the water, owner there every night, did i mention the FANTASTIC SEAFOOD. Here is a tip..... know what you want when its your turn to order! Highly recommend this spot for some shorts and flipflop seafood gorging!

If you're looking for BBQ in the south, Duke's is the place. From rice and hash to cracklin' this is the real stuff! Grab a plate full cafeteria-style and sit down at a picnic table with a loaf of white bread in the middle and see what REAL BBQ is. They have several locations around SC. [Note: There are several "Duke's BBQ" restaurants in SC. I can't tell if it's a chain, but some of the locations have some bad reviews on the web - so please update us if you have an experience different from what you would expect.]

Bluegrass on the front porch on weekend nights; rocking chairs on wrap around porch; buffet daily, or great meals/sandwiches from the menu, and all served with the most friendly folks you could encounter. Priced right, too. Great homemade BBQ sauces. The ride to Huntin' Club could be par for the course, if you come in from the east. But, if you come from the west or north, 10 miles from Huntin' Club, you may take routes which will be comparable to any mountains you'll find on the east coast.

This is a place where you get some of the best hot dogs you've ever eaten. Many types of toppings out of the norm. There is sit down eating as well.
You order at the counter, then sit at a long legged circular bar-type table. You pull your sift drink out of an old iced-down Coca Cola cooler. And yes, it has the bottle opener attached, just like in the 50's-60's. It's a popular local place, and it's only about three miles down the road from my house. If you're in the Charleston/Mt. Pleasant area, it's a must visit place for hot dogs in the throwback atmosphere of the Original Rock n Roll era! [Featured on "Feasting On Asphalt"]

Excellent pit cooked BBQ that is worth a side trip if you're in the Myrtle Beach vicinity. It's located inside an old country store with limited table space so it ain't fancy. But if you're in the mood for some good ole timey BBQ this is it. Awesome vinegar based sauce that really enhances this 'cue. Roads are typical South Carolina low country roads so no twisties and the scenery is just so-so but the 'cue is exceptional.

The Roundhouse (an old converted rail road roadhouse) is located at the top of the hill in Lead, SD. Although very elegant they made us feel right at home when we arrived wearing our leathers. They offer a full menu but their "special" 5 course dinner was outstanding. The staff was very friendly and made our dining experience very enjoyable. This will be a regular stop for us when we're in the Black Hills.

Family-style dining and delicious home-cooked food makes this a great choice, but the price clenches the deal. All the chicken, biscuits, green beans and blueberry pie you can eat for only $6 and that includes iced tea. Although the menu changes daily, you will always find mounds of fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits and mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. Iced tea and ice water is all they serve here, although there are soda machines. Communal seating at big, round tables. Closed Mon & Tues

If you have a large group be sure to call ahead to avoid the wait and they will accomodate you. When we went we had 23 and we had to wait about an hour or longer.

Great BBQ and good atmosphere in Old Germantown across from the old city hall and right beside the railroad tracks. Parking is a bit of a trick, but it's a small inconvenience. They have various types of BBQ - something for everyone as well as salads. BBQ pork is the mainstay along with pork ribs. Also have BBQ chicken, turkey and sausage. Also have great deserts - caramel cake, chocolate chip cheesecake, several pies, etc. All good!!! Highly recommended.

This place is known for its burgers, has won all the best burger in Knoxville many times. The best fried oysters in the area and best filet you can get anywhere..It also has great homemade desserts, especially baked goods..The restaurant is in a downtown area, but it only takes 10 min to get back to rural areas.. [Another reviewer says: ] Litton's makes the best hamburger plate I have ever had. They are NOT cheap but worth the money. You're close to some of the best motorcycling roads in the country. The "Dragon" is 30-45 minutes away, the Cherohala Skyway is 90 minutes away, the "Devil's Triangle" is about 30 minutes away, and the list goes on and on.

If you're a diabetic, the jam may just send you into a coma. Since this place is really close to Nashville and Franklin, TN, you might just see star or two. Loveless is a popular spot with country music stars. I've even seen some not so country music stars, but stars nonetheless, there from time to time.

On Fridays and Saturdays they offer a fish fry where you can order either catfish or whiting. I've had the whiting once and it is a bit too fishy for me but the catfish is the best fried fish I've ever had. I also think the best sides they offer are their baked beans and cold slaw. I would also highly recommend their pulled pork, either as a sandwich or dinner. They offer a variety of different sauces from sweet to fire breather. Caution: This is a take out place there is no seating or place to dine. Get it and git...

This is true Southern BBQ. Locally owned and operated by a owner who spent years learning at the side of some true pit masters. The proprietors love their art and have a passion for good Southern eats and Southern Hospitality. Exceptional BBQ served traditionally as well as BBQ dishes served with a twist for those that like something different. There are some nice roads to ride in the Williamson County area. Take a look at a map for the roads leading out of the Leiper's Fork area of Williamson County. Also not a bad ride over toward the Natchez Trace Parkway.
True Texas style BBQ, (the best I've found outside of TX), large portions, great sides and they love bikes! Cold Shiner Bock on tap and bottled...the combo can't be beat!!!

The BBQ pork shoulder sandwich at this place is sublime. I've tried pork shoulder sandwiches at numerous places throughout the southeast, including examples from several Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest competitors - even a grand champion - and the sandwich at Payne's serves is absolutely sublime. It may arguably the best pork BBQ sandwich available on earth.
The menu is sparse, the utensils are flimsy paper and plastic. Drink options are limited to a few sodas iirc. I am not sure about sides. Maybe just chips. You are riding there to eat the shoulder sandwich. Everything else is incidental.
This is located in a rough part of town. Not the roughest part of town, but rough nonetheless. Use common sense but don't be intimidated. The joint itself looks sketchy. It is some old filling station/auto repair shop that has been crudely converted into a bbq place.
If you are a pork bbq aficionado, Payne's is a MUST do!

Excellent food, very reasonable prices, and a real chef. When doing the circle route of the "Dragon", excellent stop during lunch or supper. Have driven over Tellico Plains from Stecoah and Robbinsville, NC just to have an excellent supper and enjoy the beautiful view from the Cherohala getting there. [Note: A bad report came in. Additional input needed:] I have heard nothing but terrible reports about this place for the last two years. I just added an entry for a place across the street called nut-n-fancy that is vastly superior. You might want to send your crack research team by both places and make your own judgment. Surely I don't need to give you more reason to head to the smokey mountains. I hate to dog this place but I would hate for folks to eat there not realizing their are options, and up until last year there was no other option.

Biker friendly. Their burger was featured on the front cover of Texas Monthly's burger issue. I asked for that with bacon on top, and it was (hands down) the best burger I ever ate in my life. One is a meal...trust me. Very casual and laid back. Sign on the wall says, "if you want fast food, McDonald's is 12 miles THAT way." Sort of sums it up...don't go if you are in a hurry, but the food is superb. Right next to the Old Tunnel Wildlife Area (bat cave). About 10 miles from Luckenbach, on Alamo Road. So have a beer and order the "Texas Monthly Burger with Bacon", and you'll be glad you did!

A nice ride on Hwy 16, it's in a place called The Cliffs Resort at Possum Kingdom. It's gated entry to the resort; I've never had a problem getting in, but if I were taking a group, I'd call ahead to make sure. The restaurant serves a Southwestern/Carribean style cuisine, and the food has been consistently very good. There's outdoor seating on a patio overlooking Possum Kingdom lake. An excellent RTE for lunch.

No ambience, but great smoked BBQ: brisket, ribs, sausage. [TXTrikester adds:] Luling is about 50 miles from Austin and about 25 miles from San Marcos. It is 140 miles east of Houston and about 60 miles west of San Antonio just off I10. I was born in this town and have been eating at City Market as often as I can. The sausage is the best I've had, but they do have ribs and brisket. They make their own sauce and red beans. It is great! Check them out when in the area. Hwy 80 exit off I10 then into town and across the tracks. Ask anyone.

a Californian in Texas says: Been there at least 3 times, really good ribs, the brisket is moist and smokey. A bit of a dive decor and cleanliness-wise, but worth the trip. Txredc adds: Clark's is a must for any ride in the N. Texas area. It's the old fashion slow-cook bbq in a tiny town. They ship all over the world for a reason. It's just plain old-fashion good.

This place is awesome! Old-time pit BBQ, you choose what you want out by the pit and the pit-man cuts it for you, then hands it inside to be weighed and wrapped. Try the pork chops... A well-known destination among Texas riders. It's a perennial winner in Ride Texas Magazine's "BesT" contests. It's absolutely in the top 1% of Texas BBQ joints.

Family owned and operated in Kerrville for more than 30 years. They have "normal" (beef) steaks as well as buffalo. I had the buffalo ribeye, medium rare and it was outstanding! I recommend it highly, but order it on the rare side. Too done = tough. Great selection of burgers and many other items too. Reasonable prices (not cheap) and GREAT pie!

Located in a little strip center next to a cigar shop i went there a couple weeks ago to check out the burger. they werent busy when i went either, just 2other tables. i ordered a med-rare burger and thats how it came out. their 'fat burger' comes with bacon, jack & cheddar cheese, grilled onions, avocado, tomato, lettuce, pickles and thousand-island sauce. i thought about asking them to leave off the 1000 island dressing, avocado etc but decided to try it their way. it definitely does come big and loaded. my patty was hot off the grill. i actually kept the paper around the burger while i ate to help keep it together and to decrease the juicy mess i was making. and i am not a fan of 1000 isl dressing but it must marry well with the other ingredient bc i didnt notice that flavor stand out. all the ingredient come together very well imo. it is def on my fav burger list and will be back. yesterday i tried their fish tacos. it comes as a 3 taco meal or you can order em ala carte. Lightly breaded and pan-fried red snapper on a corn tortilla with jalapeno tartar sauce, topped with a lemon and habanero coleslaw. the fish looked a little small but ever bite i took had a nice blend of the fish with all the ingredients. so it's either a miracle or they know what they're doin. all the flavor blend well. it's a nice change from a gut stuffing burger.

This restaurant recently won the recognition of being the best dinner restuarant in the crossroads, per The Victoria Advocate, our local regional newspaper. This eatery has great food and is biker friendly. The head cook is a rider and makes as good of a steak as you can get almost anywhere, his family has been in the restaurant business for years and was taught to cook by his family. I recommend their steaks, also the Chicken Fried is good as well. The name of the restuarant is not reflective of the bike type but then name of the owners son. There is a waitress that is a biker as well and the owners both have been known to hop on a bike. There are seversl good places to ride in the area, your about 35-40 miles off of I-10 here. They are closed Sundays and Mondays and open lunch thru dinner and close about 8 nightly.

Voted the best hamburger in Texas by Ride Texas magazine, and located in the middle of some great roads (don't miss the stretch of 219 to the west, as well as 1238 up to Iredell). Kind of a crusier-centric bar, but the great burgers and prime lunch location make it a worthy stop on any ride. Be prepared to stand in line to order if you get there at peak hours.

The steaks are good and so is everything else. Good Cold Beer!!! Have about a dozen types on tap as well as a good selection in long necks. In addition they have good pie for dessert, they have a good assortment whether you like Apple, french silk, peach, buttermilk, bread pudding and it s all good. Biker friendly good service and reasonable prices, on Sunday they have a special of your choice of an 8 oz ribeye or a Talapia fillet for $8.95 with sides. If your a bigger eater they have larger steaks as well, this is just a special. This area is a good place to ride, worth the trip.

The good thing about I-10 in west Texas? The speed limit is 80mph. The bad? No one has posted a restaurant in W.Tex. Until now. I stopped in Fort Stockton for gas and grub and happened upon K-bobs. I had a sirloin, the wife had catfish and they were both very good. Better yet they had a excellent salad bar. After threes weeks on the road, BBQ and burgers get kind of old so a great big salad really hits the spot. Fort Stockton is also right on the fringe of where the good riding starts. There's lots of exploring to be done so check out Big Bend Park and the Davis Mts. to name a couple places. Highway 170 along the Rio Grande is a must do, epic ride.

Serves family style fried seafood, but has combination plate suitable for one very hungry rider or two normal people. Special sauce served with meal is not to be missed. Everything is fried, but King's Inn is much more than a glorified Long John Silver's. This was a springtime ride-2-eat destination for several years in the late 90's. Has a long standing tradition of hiring college students from the nearby Texas A&M University branch. Closed Sunday and Monday; will take reservations.

One of the oldest BBQ places in Lockhart, the smell of pit and smoke fills the entire restaurant. This place is huge, and can easily take care of a group of 50 or more. The boneless prime rib is great, and there's German style potatoes, sauerkraut, beans, pickles, and other fixins. There's pie and other dessert too. No sauce, so bring your own if you really want it.

Even though I live in Atlanta, I work in Texas. I have to say I LOVE driving over to Addison and getting a great meal from this little hole in the wall. Its off Beltline near Midway. Right behind a Jasons Deli in a strip mall. TRUST ME, this is great eating for a low key place. I've been to III Forks, Bob's, Silver Fox, Ruth Chris, Del Frisco's, Morton's, and the list goes on. But this little place is never packed, great atmosphere, great lobster (for being in Texas) Alaska King Crab Legs, Pasta dishes, and Steak. They have a little Cajun flair to some of their dishes. You can eat there for as little as 14.95 all the way up to 89.99. Last night I had to go with the Shrimp Cocktail, 18oz Lobster Tail with Veggies, and French Bread. Trust me guys, you can't go wrong with this place. Perfect place for date night with the lady....

Monument Cafe is one of those places that everyone in town knows about, but people traveling through tend to overlook. Maybe that's how the residents of Georgetown want it... if the place got much busier, locals would have a hard time getting a seat! Monument serves up great Southern homestyle food with a Southwestern flair, but this is no greasy roadhouse. The vegetables are always fresh, and the dinner salad with mixed greens, strawberries and candied pecans is unbelievable. From BLTs, Reubens, burgers, and grilled chicken sandwiches, to pan fried pork chops, chicken fried steak, catfish and one of the best fried chicken fried chicken breast with cream gravy I've ever had, it's hard to go wrong here.

Great BBQ, especially the ribs. Also excellent 'nanner pudding. It's on Highway 281, 5 miles south of I-20. An excellent gift-shop/furniture store helps satisfy the ladies' shopping reflex. Also home to the worlds biggest rocking chair. Nice nearby roads are FM4, up to Possum Kingdom (lots of nice twisties). Or take 281 into Stephenville, and if you need more 'Q, the Hard Eight is right there. If you're in the mood for something sweet, take 377 down to Dublin (only a few miles) stop at the Dr. Pepper bottling plant and have yourself a Frosty Pepper- it's Dr. Pepper cane syrup blended with Blue Bell vanilla ice cream, and served with a cherry on top.

The New Baden General Store has been in operation in its current location and current building since 1904. Family owned and operated. From the outside, the building looks abandoned and you might think it hadn't been painted since 1904 (and you might be right). There is NO way you would stop if someone hadn't alerted you to the goodness that waits inside. Inside, the building is clean and well maintained but it still looks like a 1940's general store. Everything on the menu is good, but Oh my goodness, the burgers are really something. I had the bacon cheeseburger and it definitely takes two hands to lift the thing. Delicious! Friendly service and expect to be engaged in conversation by friendly local residents if any happen to be there when you arrive. The store is at the junction of Hwy 79 and Farm Road 1940. This is South of Buffalo, TX if you need help locating it.

A great Family eatery much like a Cracker Barrel........ but with it's own unique flair. Eat inside or eat on the dock there on the Marble Falls Lake. Inside you still have a beautiful view overlooking the Lake. Throw in the fantastic ride to get there and you have one heck of ride awaiting you!

Roberts sits on Hwy 95 less then 100 yards from IH 10. It is in the thriving metropolis of Flatonia, Texas. There are 2 other places that are there as well and all are better then average and run by local small town folks with a desire to please you with thier service and good food and all are biker friendly and reasonable in cost. The workmans dinner is great it has a 6 oz sirloin and a full chicken breast with the sides for less then $11.00. You are also not far from some good riding and convenient if your aipping thru Texas on I-10.

The Rudys in Leon Springs is the original, I think. Its now a chain but this one not only has atmosphere but its where the Texas hill country starts so the riding is epic. I've gotten the sausage, chicken, and ribs but like the brisket the best. It would be nice if they offered a whole wheat bread besides just white bread. The one item Rudys is known for is their cream corn which is the best anywhere. I have hit alot of the Texas BBQ joints and would be hard pressed to pick a favorite but Rudys is right up there. [Note:] 25 locations in TX. A few in CO, NM and OK also.

Fine BBQ served up in classic Southern bbq schtick, sliced, weighed, and plunked down on a couple of sheets of butcher's paper, served with your choice of white bread or saltine crackers, and for you city folk, a plastic knife. Go inside to order whatever sides/drinks you care for, find an open seat at one of the long tables and enjoy! I had a sausage ring and a couple of slices of brisket. The sausage was juicy with a crisp skin that crackled slighty when I cut into it, and the brisket was moist and tender. Both had that classic pink ring which indicates bbq done right. And to the delight of Homer Simpson, the paper the sausage and brisket rested on was clear when I finished. Regulars park in the gravel parking lot and enter at the back, (us) first-timers parked on the street and came in through the street entrance. Smitty's Market

Named the best bbq in Texas last summer by Texas Monthly. Only open on Saturday from 8:30am till the meat is all gone, we got there at 11:00am and they were already out of chicken. We tried the brisket, ribs, sausage and pork chop.The ribs were fantastic as was the brisket. We liked the meat so much we ate it without the bbq sauce. The pork chop is very good and moist but the sausage was overdone but tasty. 45 miles ENE of Austin on Hwy 77 between Giddings and Rockdale. Its definitely worth the ride! Heres the article in Texas Monthly: texasmonthly.com/2008-06-01/feature5.php and the Review in the New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/11/24/081124fa_fact_trillin?currentPage=all

I rode Route 66 in 2003 with two friends and we stopped here to eat. Although my partners had hamburgers, I choose a New York Strip and it was wonderful. This is also the place of the 72 oz steak challenge. You have to eat the shrimp Cocktail, Baked Potato, Salad, with Roll, Butter, and of course the 72 oz. Steak. The place itself is worth the stop. Lots of other things going on. I highly recommend this stop on your motorcycle journeys. Even their website is fun...

This is a historic hotel that has a popular area reputation for great food. It is served as an all you can eat buffet style with the food being prepared by the owners, all of whom must be somebodies grandmother. The sitting is family style and you may have to share your table with strangers, but that is part of the atmosphere, like sitting at a boarding house table. The fols are very friendly and they welcome bikers of all types, this is a small Texas community and you are treated like a local. Choice of 3 or 4 entrees changing daily, you serve yourself and its all you can eat, try the fried chicken or roast beef, all is very good, dessert and drink is included in the total, under $8 last time I was there. [Barb, another reviewer, disagrees (ratings averaged):] The food here is very mediocre. Much of it overcooked and mushy, lukewarm, overall not very appetizing. For the price, there are MUCH better family-style restaurants in south Texas area.

I've stopped at Vans a number of times when going from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. The food and service is always good but the place was old and dumpy which I just so happen to like also. I've read that they made big improvements on the restaurant over the winter which I'll verify when I stop in later this month. As far as riding goes this part of Texas isn't too scenic but if your going to the coast this is the route most people take. Its right at the Oakville exit. Southern Living called Vans the best interstate BBQ in Texas, whatever that means? It is good and that's all that counts.

Well worth the stop if you are in the area. Vernon's is located just down the road from the birthplace of the Lone Star Flag, Montgomery Texas.

It's been 3 years since I was there. Steaks & ribs is all that I remember but I'm sure there was a lot more. I have a big appetite but couldn't eat all my ribs and I just loved them. My brother had a NY steak and said it was the best steak he ever ate. My ribs were smoked and then cooked, presumably, in an oven, not BBQ'd. The bonus is that it's in the heart of some of the best riding in the country, especially in the Fall.

Stayed over in Salina, UT during a motorcycle trip through the West. This area relatively close to a number of National Parks and Monuments including Arches NP, Zion NP and Capitol Reef. Our hotel was just off I-70 and near El Mexicano. My son wanted to try "real" Mexican food (he has always lived in Illinois) so we went for brunch. We came right when they opened in the morning. I ordered the Carne con Huevos, pulled pork & eggs with fresh jalapenos and cheese. It came with frijoles (refried beans) covered with cheese and a very good spanish style rice. The frijoles were excellent as was the meat and eggs. The rice was very good, not dry but not too sticky with a delicate, not overpowering flavor. My son wasn't sure what to order and our waitress asked if he liked burritos. He said he did so she recommended the Asada (Steak) Burrito and asked if he would like a little Chili Verde on top. He decided to give it a try even though he was not sure what he was in for. It came with frijoles and rice like my entree. He loved it! The meat was delicious, the burrito nearly as large as his forearm and the chili verde was a perfect touch. We also got fried ice cream for desert (Thanks Carol!) to top off a really excellent meal. Service was good, friendly and while we sat there the place quickly filled (always a good sign!) with both families and groups of adults. If you are passing through or in the area for any reason stop in and I think you will be pleased with your meal. I'll be back the next time we come through...

I love this place. IMO the best burgers in Utah. Used to be a brewery [Pinnacle Brewing Co.] but apparently they farm that bit out now, and it's a bar/burger/pizza joint. I've never tried the pizza but the burgers are simply great. Huge, juicy patties, lovely toasted, buns, garlic aioli, fresh greens, real cheese, etc. Fries are battered and oven baked (I think) and edible but nothing to write home about. Salads are good; think quality salad bar type. The burgers are worth a 6 hour ride, though. Roads in the area are among the best in the state: Fairview/Huntington canyon (UT 31), Indian Canyon (191), and Wolf Creek Pass (35) are all close. Head a bit south and you hit the lovely 24/12 roads Utah is famous for.

You can ride in on the 89 from Zion to the South, or Bryce Canyon also to the South.
The 89 in from the North is also a great ride, or ride in by ATV from the Paiute Trail system on the East or West sides.
Snowmobiles in the winter.
If y're tired they have cabins. I ride in from Vegas through Zion and buddies ride in from Salt Lake City have lunch and then turn around.

Great, real, heavily smoked slow-cooked barbecue. Not everything on the menu is the best I've eaten, but it's all quite tasty. The daily specials are a fave. They usually have some drunken has-beens playing blues or whatever, even on thursday at 11 a.m., just like a real BBQ joint should have. Kind of a weird location in a semi-run-down industrial/autoshop kind of area, but it's worth the effort. Roads are great in the mountains nearby.

I've sampled a lot of BBQ in my time, from GA, AL, FL, TN, NC, SC, TX and elsewhere. This is some of the best I've had. The owners are from AL and serve dry style BBQ (Ribs and pulled pork) with a couple of sauces to choose from. They also have other southern style dishes that are good, but the BBQ is the reason to go. No really good roads nearby, but if you're in the area, go here.

We went to Doumar's because it was featured in the first episode of "Feasting on Asphalt." The focus on the TV show was on the ice cream and Albert Doumar's machine for making the waffle cones. His father "may" have invented the ice cream cone for the 1904 St Louis exposition. For my meal, I chose a BBQ sandwich...you could do as well buying the tub of pulled pork at the grocery store. My companions had other menu items and were pleased.

Great little Mexican grill with AUTHENTIC food. Choose from beef, chicken, beef tongue, and lamb tacos along with other traditional Mexican fare. Great authentic Mexican tacos (which are soooo delicious that they leave me craving more even after I'm full to bursting) The salsas may be the best things on Earth. They make their own salsas. They are all good and it is hard to choose which of the three to put on my tacos. The nice guy behind the counter, (The proprietor speaks english very well) will help you choose. Whichever you choose you can't go wrong so try a little of each. The building is small and nothing fancy so if you are going for atmosphere just go to Applebee's, if you want a meal you will remember for more than 2 hours try out La Michoacana. If you try it once you will be back. As far as the roads go the entire area is fantastic for riding. Just a few miles from the Shenandoah National Forest. On the way in I passed a sign reading "Attention Motorcyclists - Deadly curves next several miles" Oh yeah. that's the kind of road that makes riding fun. The scenery is beautiful.

Very tasty. I'd eat here before Pierce's in Williamsburg any day of the week. PGFBBQ is a smallish barbecue joint with a diverse menu. The food is very good, especially for an area where there aren't a whole lot of restaurants that aren't fast food or chains. I didn't care much for the green beans, but the meat was done well and the sauce was pretty good. Given a choice between this place and Pierce's in Williamsburg, I'd eat here. --Mark

I have never had anything that wasn't good here, they do some of the best home fried potatoes on the planet, never had the buffalo burger, but have heard it is quite good. The regular burgers are quite good too. Really nice homey/country kind of atmosphere, casual dress expected. Nice people and great food, plus it is the only place around for miles and because of the great roads going to or away from it, it is a destination in itself. Take 311 out of Roanoke/Salem VA and that will take you over the mountains into Paint Bank. Great ride, but watch out for turns that double back on themselves and gravel in some of the corners. On a clear day the view at the top of the ridge is spectacular.

The Italian Store is a place where you can buy Deli Meat's, Pizza, Wine, Cheese, Cookies, Candy, Beer, and best of all,.......their great Sandwiches. My favorite the MILANO. They have a VESPA that sit's out front, and also out front are tables to sit down and eat and watch people. Make sure when you walk in that you take a number (ticket) because they can get real busy. This place is about 5 minutes away from the Pentagon right off of I66.

Food and service was great/onion rings are super/no one complained about anything they ordered with 10 people that is a good thing. From Norfolk there are plenty of good roads to ride on the southern side of the James River. From Norfolk it took 117 miles to get there so it wasn't a straight shot. Have a good ride and a great lunch.

Big food, you will not be riding after eating here. I have only eaten in the Rutland location, cannot vouch for the rest. We will stop by for one meal if we are within one or two states away.

Located by Green Lake in Seattle. Man vs Food and a Diner's Dives and Drive In have each done a visit to check out the 12 egg omelet with equal amount of hash browns. Downside: Can't get on your bike when done and ride. [Juanito the clumsy disagrees, rating everyhing a 1, except cost and service a 2:] FOOD: Beth's is recommended as either a practical joke or a Seattle rite of passage. It's kind of hard to get by the excess, not only of food, but of belly fat. RIDE: Urban riding, what can I say? Meh.

The roads to and from Boggan's are really boring until you get to the canyon. The Canyon [which includes the famous Rattlesnake Grade] is a LOT of fun. You can go down one side and up the other. Turn around and do it again. Boggan's is at the bottom of the canyon sitting on the Grande Ronde river. It is more of a mom and pop store. They cater more to the fishermen with things like an RV park, fishing supplies, and they have some rooms for rent. The food is decent, but they have some of the best milkshakes that you can get anywhere. I always stop for a milkshake if I go by Boggan's. [note for the search engines: sometimes mis-typed Bogan's Oasis]

First off, the portions are outstanding. The leftovers (and I'm a 'hearty' eater) from a full-size order of biscuits/gravy were enough for another meal at home, for example. Great tasting food.
Location is about 1/2-way between WA 104 and Port Townsend on WA 19, just south of Port Hadlock on Washington's Olympic Penninsula. It's a tiny bit of a detour from WA 104, but, as a stopover point for a meal while doing the Olympic Penninsula 'full circle' (330 miles), it can't be beat.

The restaurant/tavern is right off of Highway 101, on the east side of the Hood Canal. This is one of the great rides in Western Washington, with an outstanding combination of twisties and scenery (you're at/just above sea level for much of the ride, with little obscuring the view of the Hood Canal -- a part of Puget Sound).

We had a late lunch on the deck. It was a warm day, but there was a nice breeze up from the river and the overhead fans were on. This was a very good thing, as it is yellowjacket season and the breezes kept them mostly away. We had cod and chips, a halibut sandwich, and an elk burger. All with the beer-batter fries. All were very good. We also had iced tea and lemonade, both of which tasted freshly-made from scratch, instead of the usual instant tea and lemonade mix one gets in too many diners. The service was very pleasant and timely, and best of all, they attended to our needs without being intrusive. Patty's Place is not cheap, but well worth it, especially considering that we had enough food for a late lunch that we don't need dinner.
SR504 to Mt. St. Helens is a well-engineered, fast road, without too much traffic. Great sweepers and views, and the road is still in great condition. The only drawback is that it is ultimately a dead-end after 52 miles (from I-5). The great thing is that it ends with a great visitors center and a stunning view of the most active volcano in the U.S. Thank you Forest Service!!!

RIDE: Get there from Everett via US2, which is a lovely road once you get past Gold Bar. Alternatively, you can get there from I90 up US97 from Cle Elum.

Good food and not too expensive. They do take MC & Visa. They may take others, but I am not sure. Actually went up to Howards Grove to go to the Log Cabin. They were closed for 2 weeks in August. Eveyone was griping about no food. I had seen this place before so we rode there and went inside. Some folks, on a Saturday, were making it a night out and were dressed fancy. We weren't. No problem with the staff for showing up in jeans/leathers. I had a great steak. Again take the Kettle Morraine Scenic Highway from West Bend to Elkhart Lake and then East on Hwy A to Howards Grove. Turn right on Hwy 32/wisconsin Street. Not open on Mondays.

One of the most beautiful areas in Wisconsin. Every Sunday in the summer they have an awesome BBQ chicken dinner. It's not uncommon for them to serve 500+ bikers on a Sunday afternoon. If your not into chicken they have a great burger as well as other menu items. Best to call ahead and reserve a dinner. Area roads are twisty and the hills and vallies are beautiful. People come from all over to ride the roads in this area of the state. Not hard to find...only place in Rockton.

"Roads exist for me . . . mainly to furnish reasonably direct connections between cafes and chili parlors, taco wagons and beaneries, eat shacks and confectioneries, burger joints and frozen-custard stands, barbecue sheds and fish camps. In other words, roads are there to tie one reason for living to another."

Thanks for this informative site. Hey Juanito the Clumsy: I agree about Hwy 97. There isn’t a lot on 97, but what you find is worthy. When not traveling in a group of bikes we stop exclusively in small one of a kind mom and pop establishments. Why go to a cookie cutter chain restaurant, where you can go any time. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for names. We usually go in and eat, and leave….happy, ready for another 4 or 5 hrs’ ride.
Notice to all! Google Maps now has tools that can aid in using Maps. Just log in to your Google Maps account, then click the green Erlenmeyer flask in the upper right corner. The tool I used first was the “LatLng Marker” which drops a latitude/longitude note where you click. This helped me fill out my restaurant form.
Look here! US97 (Oregon) is a well-traveled route by motorcyclists. Why aren’t there listings along it? We are traveling down US97 in a few weeks and certainly there must be SOME of you who have had a good meal along the way (Bend, Madras, Chemult?)! GET TO IT!!!!
Brilliant I tell ya just brilliant. On behalf of the All Canadian Riders Club will for sure participate; after all we are the “Eating club with a riding disorder”
Great site – I have been to many of the restaurants in Ohio and Indiana. It is always good to have a few others in mind when I lead group rides with my retired friends.
I’m liking the site more and more. Great work on the rapid updates and corrections.
Have you given any thought about listing the locations, alphabetically by city? When planning a ride, I’m usually more familiar with cities (heading to or riding through) rather than names of eateries. Just a thought.
[ADMIN response: Thanks for the feedback. I plan to enhance the list to provide full sorting and filtering, with fixed headers. Someday... someday.]
Everyone hears about **** but the locals go to ***** in ******. You missed the *********** in *****, WA. They give away Harleys.
[ADMIN: Thanks, but input about existing RTE entries, or suggestions for new RTE entries need to go though http://ridetoeat.com/rte/add rather than through comments.
Good work! Back in the 70s, I found a lot of good places to eat while on the road, both in my home state of Wisconsin and while on trips around the USA and Canada. If I may, I would like to add some of these place to yur list. I saw that a few had already made it. Eve though I d not ride anymore due to arthriis, I still think about riding and even wave when on the road.

What a great concept and layout for this website! I’ve bookmarked it. Since I travel a lot on my bike…this is quite a gem of a find!

I love your site. Now I’ll have to consult your list before I leave on a road trip. Thanks to you I’ll probably have to go to the YMCA more often.
It was great to meet you at “Moonshine” ! Spoke to you at the beverage store after dinner..

Cool site! I’ve been to a few of those places and now I must ride and eat some more.
Great idea!
