One of my favorites was in Missouri.
On 44 between St Louis and Rolla if I remember right.
Doolittle ? Near the EB rest area.
Not a Truckstop but the lot held 40 or so TTs.
Awesome chicken. Ham and beans. Decent country favorites.
And cheap enough that OVM would eat there.
Edit: the place is Cooking From Scratch, Doolittle, Mo.
Right off I-44
2nd Edit: if I had read the article I would have seen this is the place they picked for Missouri.

I-80 has a very large sit down restaurant.
Almost upscale for a Truckstop.
It’s easy to miss with all that’s going on over there.

I managed to start eating much healthier than in my 1st year. First it was mostly fast food, now switched more to veggies but it's so hard to find something like this.
I'd say the bigger cities have the best eats, LA, NY, Chicago, Houston. Runners up include Tampa/Miami, Kansas City and Albuquerque. And of course the well known culinary cities like Boston and New Orleans. Usually something good in every state.
There is a Portillo’s in S California.
Thinking just SE of the 60/15 interchange.
Minutes south of Fontana.
We used to go to a movie theatre nearby that was $2.50.
Most movies were packed.

There is one also in Buena Park, CA. Almost went to it but I'm trying to save that experience for Chicago.

That got me thinking of the Dawg House, down the street from C&M. I wouldn't doubt Mike goes there on a daily basis.
Grew up in mentor went to Scooters Dawg house a lot

Wow, a good list with amazing places to visit for food!! Thanks for it. My brother is into trucking. I'd like to ask him to take me out sometimes to these
76 Truckstop in Grand Rapids is great! The 49er in Sacramento is great also! I've been told in Walcott IA at the Road ranger theres a great place in there!
