I also like the "Big Texan" in Amarillo. Their breakfast buffet is killer....$7.99 if I'm correct. they cook your omelette at the buffet and it will cover the entire plate. They always say, "everything's bigger in Texas". And they mean it. I also remember seeing this place on the food channel at one time it placed 3 out of top 10 places in the country to pig out. They also did a place in Missouri called "Lambert's Cafe"in Sikeston, MO and they throw the rolls at you. I believe Sikeston isn't far from I 55 for someone traveling near there. I haven't been to this one but the "Big Texan" I have and that place is awesome! they also advertise the 72 oz steak if you can eat the entire steak.

A new place for us is the "Machine Shed" in Urbandale IA, on the other side of 35 from
the "J". It is by the Clairion. We walked to it, a little over 1/2 mile. No sidewalks.
Similar inside to a Cracker Barrel with , I believe, a superior menu.

An old fav of ours, SLYMANS.

THE corn beef king of Cleveland Oh.
They are on St Clair around 31st.
Park on St Clair across from Slymans.

THE BEST CORN BEEF SANDWICH.

They are open for breakfast and lunch. Go before 11 am or after 1:30 or be prepared
to stand in line for 20 minutes or more, watching the happy customers pass you by
with their own Slymans.

When in west memphis,ar Pancho's is a good place to eat if you are hungry for mexican. I like the beef muchacho myself, and my wife likes the fajita queersadillia. If you're in the Petro's parking lot hang a right on the way out then go to the stop sign and hang a left go down about a block and it's on the left. If you get to the stop light you missed it and you can look to the left and see it cause it's on the corner. There is a little dirt lot just before it on the left and a shut down c.b. shop on the right just across the street for parking as well.

Texas Land & Cattle is also pretty good. I know they're in Dallas and San Antonio, not sure about other cities. Montana Mikes is decent too. It's a national chain, but the one in Laredo is close enough to a grocery that I've seen trucks parked at and it's a decent enough steak.
