I agree on road trips that it’s better to get out of the car and go inside to eat.
We look for restaurant signs on the Interstate and will pull off to eat. We try to avoid fast food on trips. I prefer a plate dinner.
Cracker Barrel and barbeque restaurants are usually pretty good on trips. We enjoy Tex Mex if we’re in the Southwest states. I love finding older diners in small towns and meet the locals.
