When your traveling, say on a road trip, is there restaurants you eat at that you normally wouldn't?

Wawa, Sonic, Perkins.

LOVED stops at Shoney's.

Yeah, it's all part of the road tripping experience.

Truck stop diners, berry stands, greasy spoons, ma and pa homecooked restaurants.
Even the large centers like the Iowa 80 stop.
Love the country gas n grocery stores, with :" NEXT GAS 100 MILES " signs after them.

I earned really not much to ate in restaurants regular in normal life , but in such situation I always trying to find the chip restaurants which are in every highway side in our country called "Dhaba"

Traveling with my parents, we seldom, if ever, stopped at chain restaurants. When we were in Pennsylvania Dutch areas, we would stop at small local restaurants, and have things like Weiner Schnitzel. It was always an adventure. My father always encouraged me to try things I had never tasted before.

In the south, we would always stop at Stuckey's and get praline candy, and those wonderful pecan logs, but that was the only chain we went to consistently.

That's half the fun in going somewhere new. Trying new things 👍

When my wife and I are travelling, we often stop at the hot foods sections of grocery stores.

There is a truck stop restaurant and convenience store that I would love to stop at on a road trip. It is owned by Sikhs and the men cook the food. Have seen it featured on a show and also read about it online. Food sounds really good.

Subway is a sandwich bar and NOT a restaurant 🙂🐼🥢

I do not recommend the gas station sushi

No, I always look for healthy eats.

I pretty much stopped eating at all fast food restaurants and now lean more towards Mexican restaurants. After getting food poisoning from 3 different Subways... I will never go back to a Subway. Mexican restaurants are very competitively priced compared to fast food restaurants and especially since fast food (crap food) restaurants jacked their prices out the roof . Generally family owned Mexican restaurants are hand cooked and locally aquire most of their ingredients. Taco bell, Pepe's and Hacienda don't count. They are chain food restaurants. I'm a truck driver. I generally cook 95% of my food now. I'm so done with price gouging. My truck has a stove and refrigerator. Doing this has literally saved me well over 65% of my eating expenses even still that grocery stores raised their prices too.

I think it's fun to try new restaurants.
Sometimes if it's just all fast food in an area, I'll stop at a local grocery store and just pick up some chopped vegetables or a couple fruits or a sandwich at their deli area or a hot food item or something

I wouldn't stop at a chain, unless it was regional. For instance I've stopped at a Waffle House in Tennessee as there's none here. If traveling like to try different things, and more localized fare if possible. Obviously, if time is a constraint, will do something tried and true.

It’s been years since I took a road trip, but when my late husband and I did, we ate at places we usually didn’t, at home. One was an all you can eat buffet, and their coconut cream pie was the best I’ve ever had. I can’t recall the name of the restaurant.

I occasionally stop at McDonald's for coffee and to use the wifi and the toilets as I am driving through northern Europe from Norway to the UK because they are more convenient and open longer than many other places.

Same I wouldn't touch Subway usually but when you're road tripping you're limited for healthy food choices

It's a motorhome tradition then! 😊

Love mom and pop hole in the wall places and diners mostly
