Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Local Eats, restaurants & Truck Stops

Sadly,all the places we went to are all gone,Even the Howard Johnsons closed years ago.There was one left,THE LITTLE SPOT ,great chili dogs.Guy died,his kid took it over,didn't pay the taxes on the place,it got shut down,a TOXIC WINGS chain place took it over,it stinks.

With things as they are now, it’s not very often we go anywhere anyway.
Like I said, pizza star in 3 Springs, Tower Ridge or Longhorns in Altoona.
Carol and I really liked Ryan’ by The Galleria, but they closed up years ago.
Longhorns is the only chain we’ll visit outside Altoona. I visited several on our way to Montana. Never had a bad steak or poor service.

We really like Texas Roadhouse.
The food. The wait and the racket aren't appreciated.

Still haven't made it to Tower Ridge.
It's on the list.

Their steaks are good, and we love those Tun-ions.
But I hate those “cookie cutter” built restaurants.
The acoustics are freaking horrible with the music and people talking.
I’ve been around race cars and recreational Gunfire most of my life.
My hearing is started to go. I was to stubborn to wear protection sometimes, especially if it was just me shooting.
It’s impossible for Penny and I to hear each other at Road House or Chillies.
And you know how I feel about modern country.
It’s pop music for young people who think driving a pickup and wearing a damn cowboy hat makes them country!

Schreiners Restaurant... Fond du Lac Wisconsin... Opened 1938... Closed 2020... 1800+ Meals a day served on average in it's Heyday... Real food made from scratch... I ate thousands of meals there over the yrs... Favorite meal... Started with a Bowl of Clam Chowder, Followed by a tossed salad with "House" (garlic ranch) dressing, Then, Braised Beef Short Ribs with oven roasted carrots & potatoes (fresh homemade rolls on the side)... For Dessert, Scratch made Banana Creme Pie Or Cranberry Walnut Cake with Hot Caramel Sauce... When that place was demolished to build a Kwik Trip C-store, I was like Iron Eyes Cody looking at the garbage dump With a Tear running down my cheek... Our America as we knew it, Is Fuqked!...

Cheer up, still got Culvers!

That’s the Keystone Truck stop at Munster on route 22 not 322. Another good local place in Ebensburg is Off the Rak. Rt 160 south of town, turn off 22 at the Sheetz and wind your way back in.

Minnies and Xer’s can’t afford these places, momma only gave them $20. When IT left the basement $15 of that went for a Starsucks coffee that IT ends up spilling on IT’s dick because IT’s boyfriend wanted a latte spermwich.

Phuucckinn Phaggottss!

Nothing like a place along side railroad tracks.



Needless to say, they don't take credit cards.

I've drove truck for 22 years. 10 of that over the road. I found out real early that trucking is the last bastion of the social misfit. You go in sit down and then get to listen to some dumbass lie through his teeth or give you life advice when he's clearly a screw up. I ate 95% of the time in my truck so i didn't have to deal with morons in truck stop restaurants. I learned to get very creative cooking out of a coleman 12v cooler and a microwave. I spent 1/2 as much money than eating in the restaurants also. My Uncle drove for over 40 years and couldn't believe i could go out on the road for 6-10 days and never spend $20 when he was laying down $1-200+ a week in truck stops between meals, coffee's and tips.
