Let\u2019s face it \u2013 after long hours on the road dealing with bad drivers and intense traffic, it feels good to park the truck, get out, and sit down for a delicious bite to eat. Nothing beats a home-cooked meal, but when you\u2019re constantly traveling for work you have to settle for second best. Truck stops don\u2019t always have the finest quality food. Traditional restaurants, on the other hand, don\u2019t always have convenient parking for your big rig. So where can you find the best truck stop restaurants in the U.S.?\u00a0Whether you\u2019re craving a basic burger and French fries or you\u2019re looking to taste some local cuisine on the open road, there are some noteworthy restaurants to check out during your travels. Have you been to any of these spots?<\/p>\n

The Best Truck Stop Restaurants in the United States<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Best Truck Stop Restaurants on the East Coast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bangor, Maine is home to none other than author Steven King. However, Steven King\u2019s house doesn\u2019t hold a candle to Dysart\u2019s Truck Stop and Restaurant<\/a>. Dysart\u2019s is not only a convenient and stocked truck stop but is also a great restaurant. The restaurant serves fresh Maine seafood, like scallops and clams. The bakery serves delicious Maine blueberry pie! If you\u2019re traveling down the east coast, you may be heading towards South of the Border<\/a> in Hamer, South Carolina. Upon first glance, this truck stop is a total tourist trap. However, beyond the kitschy exterior are some great Mexican restaurants. You can even head on over to the amusement park before your meal!<\/p>\n

Best Truck Stop Restaurants in the Midwest <\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most-famous truck stop in America is in Walcott, Iowa. Iowa 80 Truck Stop<\/a> is famous for its various amenities. These include 24 private showers, a barber shop, a movie theater, and even a trucker museum! But its best feature is definitely its 300-seat restaurant. The restaurant has a 50-foot long salad bar and a delicious buffet including meatloaf, pork chops, and fried chicken. Another midwestern trucker staple is R Place Restaurant<\/a> in Morris, Illinois. R Place is famous for its 4-pound burger. If you\u2019re not willing to attempt the burger challenge, you can still enjoy amazing baked goods, omelets, skillets, and more.<\/p>\n
