Fast Eddy's Restaurant & Pizza Mile 1313.3 Alaska Hwy Tok, AK 99780		907-883-4411 Sep 18, 2009	5	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.	5	5	4	4	4	Reviewer: Alcan Rider

Bandidos Mexican Restaurant 201 East Michigan Ave Foley, AL 36535		Mexican 907-248-6600 Oct 6, 2014	5	Authentic Latin family owned restaurant . Every entree is made with fresh ingredients nothing processed which is a nice change. The owner is from Colombia and has added his family tradition and recipes to the menu.

Benedikt's 4125 Hwy 27 Oneonta, AL 35121		Buffet/Cafeteria 205-274-0230 Jan 21, 2010	4	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.	3	5		3	3	2benedikt.com
Big Bob Gibson's Original 1715 6th Av. SE Decatur, AL 35601		BBQ 256-350-6969 Nov 28, 2012	5	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... [NavMode Adds:] I'd give it 5's across the board. We had 7 in our party and the bill only came to $73 and some change and no one went home hungry. The wife and daughter raved about the peanut butter pie. You gotta try the brisket it's GREAT.	3	5	5	5	5	bigbobgibson.com/main.htm Reviewer: NavMode, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Bogue's 3028 Clairmont Ave S Birmingham, AL 35205		Buffet/Cafeteria 205-254-9780 Jan 22, 2010	5	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.

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.

Buck's Pocket Steakhouse 823 County Rd 152 Section, AL 35771		Other (See Comments) 256-228-4044 May 28, 2013	5	Steak and catfish. Only serves Omaha Prime steaks and farm raised catfish. Order either and you will not be disappointed. The rustic restaurant is located about 1 mile north of Buck's Pocket Tri County State Park. It is located on property shared with a horse riding camp for handicapped children and proceeds help support the camp. The quality of food (the owner thinks) is the draw for the restaurant. Quality is number one consideration.Service is outstanding and the friendly atmosphere is unsurpassed. Real down-home folks. Excellent ride through backroads of Alabama and Buck's Pocket Park.	4	5	5	5	5	facebook.com/pages/Bucks‑Pocket‑Steak‑House/456650577678373

[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.

Jerusalem Cafe 5773 Airport Blvd Mobile, AL 36608		Other (See Comments) (251) 304-1155 Jan 22, 2010	5	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.	3	5	5	4	4	jerusalem‑cafe.com
K-Johns 103 Broad St. Camden, AL 36726		Cafe (334) 682-5878 Aug 3, 2012	5	Quaint location in downtown Camden across from the old Courthouse. Only open for breakfast and lunch. Menu consists of many types of sandwiches. My favorites are the shrimp quesadilla and the muffaletta.

Laney's Restaurant 7601 Parkway Dr Leeds, AL 35094		Family Style (205) 699-7179 Jul 6, 2013	4	They are open 7 days a week (only through lunch on Sunday) and have both a buffet (that varies by the day) and menu order. Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. The buffet is priced at $10 per person, the menu prices are reasonable. This place can be a downer if you hit it on the wrong day but thankfully, there aren't many of those. It is located approx 2 miles up from Barber's Motorsports Park/Museum and another few miles from AL State 25, which is a fantastic road, most inviting for a sportbike but enjoyable as all get out on anything with two wheels. My ratings are based on my own experiences, having been there fro lunch buffet mostly but have been making breakfast runs up there since the weather turned hot. If you look at Urban Spoon, you will see some nasty reviews in amongst the gushing with praise comments but over all, they pull an 80% "favorable". For me, this place is a good "relax" spot after a tremendously good ride up from Tuscaloosa via HWY 25, approx 125 miles up the way we do it.	5	4	4	4	4	facebook.com/pages/Laneys‑Country‑Cooking/129728223763201 Reviewer: Roger, Tuscaloosa
Mike's Smokehouse Market 28396 State Hwy 181 Daphne, AL 36526		BBQ (251) 776-8703 Jul 21, 2010	5	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]	5	5	5	5	5	Reviewer: Bama6977, Pensacola FL

Pete's Famous 1925 Second Ave. North Birmingham, AL 35203		Dive 205-252-2905 Apr 27, 2010	3	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.	1	4	3	5	3
Red's Little School House 1820 Gardner Rd Grady, AL 36036		Buffet/Cafeteria (334) 584-7955 Mar 6, 2010	4	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.

Stagecoach Buffett 52860 Alabama 59 Stockton, AL 36579		Buffet/Cafeteria (251) 580-0608 Jan 17, 2011	5	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	3	5	5	5	4	Reviewer: Mark Lowe

Cafe Poca Cosa 110 E. Pennington St. Tucson, AZ 85701		Mexican 520-622-6400 Dec 24, 2009	5	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 $25 a person for just the main entree and you'll definitely need to make reservations. However, for my money, Little Poca Cosa is even better (151 N Stone Ave). All the really great flavors for a lot less dinero in a more intimate atmosphere. They're only open for lunch, grab a menu and seat yourself and you have to have cash to pay.		5	5	2	5	cafepocacosatucson.com Reviewer: raven
Chino Bandido 15414 N 19th Ave Suite K Phoenix, AZ 85023		Other (See Comments) (602) 375-3639 Apr 24, 2010	5	Absolutely a DO NOT MISS when in the valley. Family owned and operated, its nothing special to look at, in fact its in a strip mall, but the food is unparalleled. Rated 'best food in Arizona' several times by more than one professional reviewer. It's claim to fame is a blend of Chinese and Mexican. While everything is excellent, Menu items include Jade Red Chicken, similar to chinese 'sweet and sour chicken' but tossed in a spicy mexican style sauce. Two items plus refried Black beans and stir-fried spanish inspired rice round out the huge combo plate. there are also burritos and Quesadillas. Meals run under 15$ including drinks.	3	5	5	5	4	chinobandido.com
El Charro Cafe 311 N. Court Ave. Tucson, AZ 85701		Mexican 520-622-1922 Dec 24, 2009	5	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.		5	5	5	5	elcharocafe.com Reviewer: raven

El Torero 231 E 26th St. Tucson, AZ 85713		Mexican 520-622-9534 Dec 24, 2009	5	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 mole.

KOFA Cafe 42370 Vicksburg Rd Salome, AZ 85348		Mar 9, 2009	4	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						Reviewer: ST-Owners.com Restaurant Reviews

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.

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.	5	4	4	5	4	evergreenlodge.com/tavern.html

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.

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.	5	5	5	4	4	Reviewer: Ang Vancouver lofoss

Latitudes 130 Maple St. Auburn, CA 95603		Bar & Grill/Tavern (530) 885-9535 Oct 30, 2010	5	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.	4	5	5	4	5	latitudesrestaurant.com Reviewer: Stormdragon Cool, CA

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.

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.

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.

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.	5	4	3	4	3	neptunesnet.com Reviewer: lofoss

North Coast Brewing Co 455 N Main St Fort Bragg, CA 95437		microbrew/food (707) 964-3400 Oct 8, 2009	4	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".

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?

The food in the restaurant is good and plentiful, served from a blending of traditional American and Southwestern fare.

Putah Creek Cafe 1 Main St Winters, CA 95694		Cafe 530-795-2682 Oct 31, 2010	5	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.	4			4	5	putahcreekcafe.com Reviewer: Janna

Rickshaw Corner 10428 Clairemont Mesa Blvd San Diego, CA		(858) 541-1998 Mar 9, 2009	4	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!

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.

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.	5	5	4	3	3	Reviewer: Robert - currently A K12GT rider
Whoa Nelli Deli 22 Vista Point Rd Lee Vining, CA 93541		Deli 760-647-1088 Mar 9, 2009	5	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]	4	5	3	3	4	whoanelliedeli.com Reviewer: PokeyV65

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.

King's Chef Diner 110 E. Costilla St. Colorado Springs, CO		Diner 719-634-9135 Jan 18, 2010	5	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.	5	5	5	5	5	kingschefdiner.com Reviewer: Dances_With_Trees

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!						Reviewer: ST-Owners.com Restaurant Reviews

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.

Turley's 2805 Pearl St Boulder, CO 80301		303.442.2800 Nov 6, 2009	5	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.	1	5	5	3	5	turleysboulder.com

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.

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.	5	5	4	3	4	thevanillabeancafe.com Reviewer: CT_Gman

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.	4	5	5	5	3

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.

Angel's Dining Car 209 Reid St Palatka, FL 32177		Diner 386-325-3927 Feb 7, 2011	5	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.	4	5	5	5	5	Reviewer: Ray King

Aunt Catfish's On the River 4009 Halifax Drive Port Orange, FL 32127		Seafood 386-767-4768 Sep 15, 2010	5	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.

Boss Oyster 125 Water Street Apalachicola, FL 32320		Seafood (850) 653-9364 May 21, 2012	4	Not sure why, but Apalachicola is part of the "Forgotten Coast" of Florida. Come take a ride on the ”Wild Side” along Florida’s Big Bend Scenic Byway where theme parks and bright lights give way to horizons of towering pines and blue-green Gulf waters. The “Bend” is where Florida’s Gulf Coast curves westward, sheltering vast seagrass beds, marshes, winding rivers, sugar-sand beaches, deep forests, and crystal-clear springs. We've been on this ride several times and I it hasn't diminished at all, basically because of the oysters and Boss Oyster is one of the better of the many oyster houses. Boss has a little bit more pizzazz to the preparation and offering which are accompanied by a wider range of condiments than do the others. Though Boss as well as most restaurants in Apalachicola is all about oysters, Boss also has other seafood servings along with a regular rib eye. The part I like is the atmosphere, sitting there dining right next to the boat that caught your meal.	5	4	4	4	4	apalachicolariverinn.com/boss.html Reviewer: Big Gator

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.

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.

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.	4	5	5	4	5	jerseyscreamery.com Reviewer: SkyKing96W, Jacksonville

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.

Outback Crab Shack 8155 County Rd 13 N St Augustine, FL 32092		(904) 522-0500 Dec 26, 2010	3	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.	5	3	3	3	3	outbackcrabshack.com Reviewer: Ray King, Durf

The owners are Cuban Americans so the menu shows a lot of that influence. Just a note of caution for my plastic money carrying buddies - They take CASH only! I had a Chili Rellano and my wife the Cuban sandwich. We were both well satisfied with our selections and the portions were more than we could eat. If you want to just have a dessert, they have a soda bar with excellent choices. We shared a flan/ice cream that was the best I've ever had. The decor is that of an old west theme with the bar an actual bar that came from a Texas bar bar built in the 1880s. The roads around Ocala are probably as good as you'll find in Florida.

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. .

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.						beachhouse‑restaurant.com Reviewer: ST-Owners.com Restaurant Reviews

They have a new place nearby called the Fish House Encore, where they serve Sushi and stuff. Have not eaten there.	2	5	5	4	4	fishhouse.com Reviewer: Ray King
The Linger Lodge Restaurant 7204 85th Street Court East Bradenton, FL 34201		Seafood (941) 755-2756 Feb 1, 2012	3	gibinmich said: The Linger Lodge use to be one of my favorite food joints but when they got new ownership the service went down the tubes. The place still has good food and a great atmosphere, just don't be in a hurry. Its a good place to escape the Florida rat race. Ray King said: A funky old Florida restaurant that Al Roker called "one of the 5 weirdest restaurants in America," and they are proud of it. Good food, reasonable prices, and very biker friendly. This is a popular group RTE destination. Caution: If you are using a GPS to find this place, even the latest version of Mapsource has the location very wrong--it is to the east of I-75, not the west. [Note: The location on our map is accurate] Hrley rider adds: Great destination, with ok food.

The Loop Pizza Grill 4000 St Johns Ave Jacksonville, FL 32205		Cafe 904-384-7301 Feb 16, 2011	5	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).	3	5	5	5	5	looppizzagrill.com/avondale.html Reviewer: Ray King

Tiki Bar Grill 508 S Main Ave Minneola, FL 34755		Bar & Grill/Tavern (352) 394-2232 Mar 9, 2009	5	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.	4	5	4	4	4	lakeminneola.com/tiki.htm Reviewer: WIKD
T-Ray's Burger Station 202 South 8th St Fernandina Beach, FL 32034		Burger Joint (904) 261-6310 Sep 25, 2010	5	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.	3	5	5	4	4	Reviewer: Ray King

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.	4	5	4	2	5	dillardhouse.com Reviewer: Gypsyangel & BlueLghtning Big Jim Davis, Floral City, Fl

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.

Breitbach's Restaurant 563 Balltown Rd Balltown, IA 52073		Family Style (563) 552-2220 Dec 12, 2009	5	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.	5	5	5	4	5	breitbachscountrydining.com Reviewer: Pete Belot
City Limits Family Restaurant Maquoketa, IA		(563) 652-9709 Mar 9, 2009	4	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.

County Seat Cafe 271 N Main St Allison, IA 50602		Family Style (319) 267-2595 Jul 9, 2011	5	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.	3	5	5	5	4	Reviewer: NavMode, Cedar Rapids, IA

Just returned from BBQ run thru Blue Ridge, and this place is at the top of the list! This is a suburb of Chicago, so not a lot of scenic rides - access from I-94 exit on Touhy West the go about a mile or so until you smell the smoker at Caldwell (just past the Leaning Tower of Pisa - really!)

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.)

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.

Ron's Cajun Connection 897 East U.S. Highway 6 Utica, IL 61373		Cajun 1-815-667-9855 Apr 6, 2011	5	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.	5	5	5	5	5	ronscajunconnection.com Reviewer: Dianna (Hudson, IL)

SuperDawgs 6363 N. Milwaukee Ave Chicago, IL 60646		Drive-In (773) 763-0660 Sep 6, 2010	5	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.	3	5	5	5	3	superdawg.com Reviewer: BMWGRRL

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.

Cozy Inn Salina, KS		Burger Joint 785-825-9407 Dec 15, 2009	5	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.

JD's BBQ and Seafood 10413 Plank Rd Clinton, LA 70722		BBQ (225) 683-4004 Jun 2, 2013	5	I found J D's by accident. There aren't many places to eat on Hwy. 10. It isn't hard to find unless you blink your eyes while passing through Clinton, LA. I pulled in a little after lunch. The lunch crowd had already came and went. I sat at the bar and ordered a burger from Mr. J D himself. He told me it would take a few minutes, it takes a little time to make a good burger. Boy was it worth the wait, one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Good food, good conversation with local patrons and pull in pull, out parking puts J D's at the top of my list of places to eat. I will be back. Louisiana Hwy. 10 is a pretty good ride, smooth slight rolling hills.	4	5	5	5	4	Reviewer: Wooden, Ponchatoula, LA
Luigi's Italian American 1876 N Railroad Ave Arcadia, LA 71001		Family Style 318-263-2248 Jun 6, 2010	5	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.	2	5	4	4	4
M&S Grocery 2720 Louisiana Ave Lafayette, LA 70501		Other (See Comments) 337-235-3941 Mar 30, 2011	5	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.	3	5	5	4	4	Reviewer: Steve Brooks, Pittsburg, CA

Morning Call 3325 Severn Ave Metairie, LA 70002		Cafe (504) 885-4068 Sep 23, 2010	5	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.	1	5	5	5	4	morningcallcoffeestand.com Reviewer: Jamboa Central Arkansas

We are on the Cape and this is a good ride for us doing the back roads.(close to 3 hours to get lunch) While the restaurant is not on a great riding road there are some good back roads to get there and we enjoy riding there. The food is great, very tender pulled pork. The place can be very busy. So it can be hard to find a place to sit. They do have outside tables as well. It is just a counter to place your order and they call your name when it is ready. I do believe it is a BYOB place but I am Ridin so I don't think about that. I like one of the sayings on the wall."Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skin in sideways, rib in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming, 'WOO HOO What A Ride.'

Chubby's BBQ 16430 Old Frederick Rd. Emmitsburg, MD 21727		BBQ 301-447-3322 Sep 24, 2012	3	[NOTE:] We have conflicting reviews for this place, one rated it a 5 and the other a 1. We need another review. Chubby's has real smoked BBQ pork, beef, chicken, and all kinds of wonderful daily specials. The sides are great too... fried potatoes with sausage, sauerkraut and pork, collard greens with chunks of meat, it's all good, Portions are generous and the place is easy to find on US 15. "Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy." It's about a half hour south of Gettysburg, PA. There are plenty of nice roads nearby. MD 140/PA 16 winds up over South Mountain, and Frederick County, MD has several covered bridges tucked away off the beaten path. [Morris Miller adds:] I had heard that this place was legendary and that celebrities frequently went there. It's a hole-in-the-wall for sure, but those are usually the best places. Upon pulling up some employees were outside smoking, not very professional, but oh well. We entered the building and saw the walls were plastered with sarcastic customer signs, such as, "If you have a complaint go to Helen Wait", and the usual Dick's Last Resort type. There were also photos of famous people with their autographs and comments that they loved the food, great sign we thought! Though none of them appeared current. Anyways, the menu screamed "World's Best Chili", ok, you got me there being that I'm a chili addict. I got the chili and it was absolutely disgusting. There was a pool of grease floating on top of it. I stirred it up, but it tasted like it was freezer burned and old, as if it had been fermenting in a pot for a few weeks. Ok, so maybe I have high standards when it comes to chili, on to the main course! Let me say that this place served the food in styrofoam cups, paper plates and with cheap plastic utensils all the while you're paying a premium price and it just didn't seem right. I got ribs and pulled pork. It was terrible, honest to God. The first time in my entire life that I did not finish my meal consisting of ribs and pulled pork or any BBQ for that matter. My wife and I actually felt nauseated from the chili and took the leftovers with us, at least half of our meals, which we tried to pawn off to other family members who will eat literally anything, but after taking a few bites threw the food away. Now, as I mentioned, the chili was disgusting and then main entree was terrible as well. Our bill was about $60. It was some of the worst food I'd ever eaten. It was so bad that I actually sat down and typed up a letter to the owner telling him/her how bad it was and that we would never, ever, everrrrr be back. I'm not a letter writer and can only remember writing one other letter to a business about their service so I'm not being dramatic. Eat at your own risk. I think this placed used to be amazing back in the day, but those days are long gone. The bathroom was totally gross and did not have any paper towels to dry your hands. I even asked the person working behind the counter and they said they'd put some in, but of course it never happened.	3	3	3	2	2	chubbysbbq.net Reviewer: Ken, Hagerstown, MD Morris Miller

Harraseeket Inn 162 Main St Freeport, ME 04032		Fancy (800) 342-6423 Aug 18, 2010	5	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.	4	5	5	2	5	harraseeketinn.com Reviewer: Mainah
Hunters Breakfast 560 Gardiner Rd Wiscasset, ME 04578		Family Style 207-882-4111 May 13, 2011	5	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	4	5	5	4	5	Reviewer: lonrngr

Maine Diner Wells, ME		Diner 207-646-4441 Jan 18, 2010	5	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.	4	5	4

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.

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.	5	5	4	4	4	trentonbridgelobster.com Reviewer: FlatTrackFan
Antlers Restaurant & Bakery 804 E. Portage Avenue Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783		Family Style (906) 253-1728 Jun 10, 2012	5	Antlers is a legendary landmark across from the south-end of the Soo Locks, serving Northern Cuisine with a great family atmosphere. The restaurant is open from 9am to 9pm Sun – Thurs. Friday & Sat open till 10pm. See their website. You have got to go "Way North" for most of us to get to Antlers, but it is well worth it. You can eat and look at Canada across the Soo Locks. Kerri, Peggy, and the rest of the staff will treat you like family and serve you some fantastic food and drink. The menu has enough selections to make everyone happy. If you're hungry for a burger try an Antler’s specialty "Paul Bunyan" 1lb (2 1/2 lb patties), hand-patted Certified Angus Beef on freshly baked bun and served with pickles and hand -cut French fries. Hurt yourself in a GOOD WAY. Want to try something different? How about "Venison Pie" (an Antler’s specialty). Homemade venison stew baked with duchess potatoes and cheddar cheese. While you eating, ask about their "bells & whistles", and be prepared for some great entertainment. Don't forget to bring your camera and take pics of some of the most fantastic trophy heads you are likely to see in one place. For a more scenic ride come in off of Hwy 134 and meander in from the South and East. I'd ride 500 mi for a meal at "Antlers." Hey wait a minute, I did and it was worth it.	4	5	5	5	5	saultantlers.com Reviewer: NavMode, Cedar Rapids, IA

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.	4	5	5	4	5	Reviewer: GibinMich

Dukes Cajun Grill 104 W.

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.	3	5	3	4	4	dukescajungrill.com Reviewer: GibinMich

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.	4	5	4	2	3	Reviewer: orj4x4, Ferndale MI

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.

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.	5	5	5	5	5	Reviewer: Neville McNaughton
Broussard's Cajun Cuisine 120 N Main St Cape Girardeau, MO 63755		Cajun 573-334-7309 Sep 3, 2009	5	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.

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.	4	4	3	4	3	welcometoosagecounty.info/ADS/hopssb.html Reviewer: Your Host

Lambert's Cafe 1800 W. State Hwy J Ozark, MO 65721		(417) 581-7655 Mar 9, 2009	5	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.

Lambert's Cafe 2305 E Malone Ave Sikeston, MO 63801		Cafe (573) 471-4261 Jan 26, 2011	5	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 145 S Main St St. Clair, MO 63077		Diner (636) 629-9975 Apr 20, 2011	5	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.

Pappy's Smoke House 3106 Olive St St. Louis, MO 63103		BBQ 314-535-4340 Mar 9, 2009	5	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 the Moto Museum a few blocks away? It's free and way cool.	1	5	5	5	5	pappyssmokehouse.com Reviewer: Steve Jones

Rivers Edge 1720 Ferry Rd Fredericksburg, MO 65061		Cajun Restaurant (573) 294-7207 Sep 4, 2011	5	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.	5	5	4	4	4	Reviewer: Your humble servant

Triumph Grill 3419 Olive St St. Louis, MO 63103		314.446.1801 Mar 27, 2011	5	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 decor, 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 The Moto Museum and Moto Europa, 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.

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.

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!
