Top review on the place is:
Food was great but price was Red Lobster.
It's 10$ a plate and I'm eating there now.

Avoid the sucker-bet foods. The starches: the breads, the potatoes, the pastas.
Get the meats and the real veggies.
Update: What I thought was popcorn chicken is fried chicken hearts.
Took a minute to figure out the texture. Chewy but fried goodness.
And what did you do after you were forced to leave the restaurant Mrs. Simpson?
Marge-"I don't remember"
Lionel Holtz- "Mrs. Simpson, I remind you that you're under oath."
Marge- "We went fishing"
There's an Indian Food one on I40 in New Mexico. Food is good but price is high. I mean, it's vegetables and rice....

Man I love chicken hearts and liver. Especially fried up on a stick Korean style.
Update 2: Food was pretty good. Someone just pulled into the truck stop with a Chevy 1500 pulled into the station pulling a camper pulling a smoker.
I wish I had my priorities that well figures out.

That's the real deal. My bet is you ate a few gizzards mixed with the hearts as well.
I'm sure they had fried chicken livers as well.
Any pig brains? They most likely had scrapple.
Update 3: Regaled with a tale from a local about his ex friend who borrowed his trailer and stole the metal bars (not rebar) that Oklahoma embeds in the concrete roadways. Apparently you can overload a trailer so much that it pops the tires and turns the wheels into ovals around the hub's.
Entertaining and uncomfortable.
Truck stop food score: 3 out of 5
Update 4: In hospital getting stomach pumped.

He ate two tubs of shrimp and three plastic lobsters!
In reply to Xceler8x:
Sadly no scrapple but there will be at the final destination. The pan next to the hearts was fired chicken gizzarda.

If they had been cooking on it I'd have ate it.
This trip has been entertaining so far. I need a seperate thread for the why but that'll have to wait for Thursday after I get where I'm going.

I stopped at that place! It was in August when we were on our epic cross-country trip towing the trailer. Their pumps wouldn't take my credit card, so I went down the road a little farther and found a Love's.
That place seemed pretty sketchy to me.
In reply to Tom_Spangler:
I'm having that problem right now on I40. All the Love's truck stops refuse my credit card, at the pump anyway. Annoying.
Dinner last night:
Obviously good decisions have been made this trip.
Stopped at a Costco for gas. No credit card, debit card only.

Costco recently started accepting VISA (only Visa)

Does this look like a man who has had "All He Could Eat?"
I hope you didn't have the lamb fries.

In reply to 4cylndrfury:
Big Texas Steak Ranch and Brewery Amarillo Texas. We saw the advertisements for it passing through New Mexico and added it to the trip. Because why not?
I didn't attempt the 72 ounce steak. An 18oz strip steak was more than enough.
Currently looking for something weird and/or obscure to eat in eastern TN along I40 E or I81 N.
