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.55444Reviewer: Alcan Rider

4Benedikt'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.35332benedikt.com

5This is the best Bar-B-Q in Northern Alabama!! Their people welcome you in with warm freindly smiles :-) I have eaten there alot 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 :-)

[Big Jim adds:] Nice little catfish house, food is about average atomosphere 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.

5Best 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.

Pete's Famous

Birmingham, AL 35203
 Dive
205-252-2905
3A 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.

5Cafe 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 entre 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.5525www.cafepocacosatucson.com

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.

 4Just 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! BigTomReviewer: ST-Owners.com Restaurant Reviews

There are plenty of great swimming holes and a couple of quaint little towns.

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.

But there are a lot of bikes that pass Baker on the way to or from someplace great, 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, most on their way to or from Vegas - 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. I think most people should be able to find something they like.

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.

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.

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.54434www.deathvalley.com/psr

5I miss Phil's Cioppino (Italian seafood stew) so much I order it shipped frozen to Missouri every once in a while (they have an online shop too). Almost as good as being there. And the calamari filets oh oh don't get me started. This is as good as seafood gets. The roads REAL close aren't great, but it is just off the Pacifc Coast Highway, and half an hour north or south will get you into some stellar riding. If you're riding in Monterey and looking for a place to eat,head a few minutes north to Moss Landing instead and try Phil's. It will be a memorable meal.55354www.philsfishmarket.com

 (858) 541-19984I 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!

 4Where 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 08Reviewer: ST-Owners.com Restaurant Reviews

5The 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.

4I'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.

5In 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.

5With 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.55555www.kingschefdiner.com

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.

 303.442.28005Turley'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 youre 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. Turleys 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.15535www.turleysboulder.com

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.

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

5Super 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!

5This 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.45544www.auntcatfishontheriver.com

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.

 (941) 779-22224Had 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.www.beachhouse‑restaurant.com

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.

 (706) 546-00524If 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....

5This 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.35443freshairbarbecue.com

 (563) 652-97094We 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.Reviewer: ST-Owners.com Restaurant Reviews

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.
[Note: A.K.A. "Mel's Loading Dock" or "Mel's Illinois Loading Dockl". 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.]

5AUTHOR1: 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. AUTHOR2: 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!!! AUTHOR3: 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.

5It'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.]25texanbbq.com

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 beers25334www.twistedspoke.com

5This 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 KS45544cozyburger.com

[Willie adds:] Nothing special about the food, and even priced on the high side. I was there within 2 weeks of it opening, maybe sooner. I sat patiently for almost 20 minutes before anyone realized we were there. Maybe opening working the bugs out.

5The 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.

[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.

5This 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.45525www.harraseeketinn.com

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.454

5LOBSTER 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.

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.

5Portland 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. 35344dukescajungrill.com

5Sweet 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.

5This 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!!

2Gates was an icon of KC BBQ, but it has developed into more of a chain BBQ joint. In the process my personal opinion is that it has lost some of the character that made it great. This is in the urban core area of KC, not the most friendly for riding. There are some much better places for food and riding.
Typically when I want to ride somewhere I would want some place with a bit more character than this. BBQ in KC is hotly debated though so it definitely has its fans and place in the BBQ gentry of KC.

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.44343www.welcometoosagecounty.info/ADS/hopssb.html

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!55545throwedrolls.com

 (417) 581-76554Home 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. [Note: The other two are in Sikeston MO and Foley AL] 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.www.throwedrolls.com

5This is BBQ the quality that competition judges get. Best I've ever had. Ribs, Pulled Pork and Brisket are fantastic. And the frito chili pie is strangely addictive. The deep-fried corn on the cob has a religious following, but I'd call it an acquired taste. Dining area very 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, give your name 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, but usually an employee will ease the pain by walking up and down the line offering you a free sample rib. If coming in the evening, call first ... 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 the Moto Museum (http://themotomuseum.com) a few blocks away at 3441 Olive Blvd? It's free and way cool.

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.

5B'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.35553

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.

4I 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)

5Mt. 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.

5Located 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. 55525snowbirdlodge.com

Lancaster, NH
 (603) 788-39394My 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 .... Reviewer: ST-Owners.com Restaurant Reviews

5The 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.

3Very 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.25232www.fourkegs.com

4Great 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.

5Meers 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.

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.

Bube's Brewery
102 N Market St
Mount Joy, PA 17552
 (717) 653-20564Constructed 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.

5Route 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.43443Reviewer: Bravo12

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.

5A 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.

5Very 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.

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"]

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.

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.

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. 35533Reviewer: JT

[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.

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.

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.

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 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.

4One 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.34434www.kreuzmarket.com

All-you-can-eat buffet on certain days (see website).

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....leftyslobster.com

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.

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.

5The 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.

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.

4Fine 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.

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!

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.

5I 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.55445Reviewer: 1KPerDay

5Kind of strange place. Started to be a coffee shop but now has a sandwitch menu and pizza. Good food, good folks, and clean. Reasonable prices. Located on main street (Va rt-35) in beautiful downtown Boykins, parking in rear. Five or six miles south you have to try Severn Road to the right off 35. Oh it is also the Boykins library. You can sit and read all day if you wish. 44555Reviewer: Dave McGill

4Great little restaurant, food was very good, and they treat you like family. The restruant is right on Rt 211, which is a fantastic road to ride as it goes over the Shenandoah mnts. You can exit off the BRP and head west on Rt211 for about 10 mi to the restruant. They also have quaint cabins next to a creek, though I have no experience with the cabins.
[Another reviewer writes:] Nice place to stop and I do every time I ride by on the motorcycle. Their Cinnamon Toast is one of my favs. Haven't had a bad meal there yet. The one complaint I have is slow service on refills on my iced tea.

5I'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.25423

3We 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.33433www.doumars.com

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. --Mark25443Reviewer: Blrfl, ST-Owners.com

 540.897.50995I 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. 55445www.theswingingbridge.com

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.

4The 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.

    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.

  2. Juanito the Clumsy says:

    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!!!!

    Hi Steve

    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. Maybe December.]

    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.

    Hi Steve;

    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.

    Keep up the good work.
