I was excited to page through it and pick locations I could visit.I have taken this rather thick volume with me on two road trips and have visited a total of eight restaurants listed. Those can be easily divided into three sets. Two I would never visit again because the food had serious quality issues (Al's Corner Restaurant - an Honor Roll Top 100 location - served us cold, mushy, leftovers). Another two might be given a second chance if someone else really wanted to go (another Honor Roll entry, Southern Kitchen, had wonderful service but my ham was coated with a sticky, gooey, overly sweet sauce). The remaining four would be an acceptable stop if I were in the area but would not justify a detour (Young's Jersey Dairy was a lot of fun even if the food and ice cream were nothing remarkable and Stewart's Original Hot Dogs in Huntington WV was under construction but the staff soldiered on and served us beneath a painting scaffold). None of them were especially memorable or special.Do not think from these criticisms that I am especially harsh - on these same trips I found several small local spots that I would recommend to anyone.I know things can change in the restaurant business quickly, but I also found hours or days open listed in the book at variance from the website or telephone call to the location for several spots (maybe 3 out of a dozen that I took the time to look up, including Belgrade Gardens which I understand has always been open for both lunch and dinner).This is not a book for casual reading as the listings are dense and full of information. It is a book I would like to pull out with confidence when I am visiting a new town along the road. Unfortunately, my experience to date has not given me confidence in what i will find. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just can't wait to get on the road again *by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2014* For as long as the Sterns have been publishing their guides to road food I have been buying them. Some previous issues have edited out some spots. They were lost for no discernable change that I could tell in their food, ownership or quality. I was extremely pleased to see all of my old favorites back in - all across the country and some new ones too.The USA is divided into regions. Each section has a map in the beginning to give you a general idea of where the establishments are. In the section each state has their spots listed in alphabetical order, with address, phone number, website, breakfast, lunch or dinner and a price guide. There is a paragraph or 2 that tells about each place and what they are noted for and recommendations.There is also a list of the Roadfood Honor Roll, 100 of the all-time favorites.I have only been disappointed once in all my years of traveling with these suggestions. I have given these books as wedding and shower presents, to friends leaving for permanent change of station and to some friends from overseas who were visiting the US - so they would know what real America tasted like. Everyone has loved them.I wish that in the index restaurants were listed alphabetically by state instead of keeping to the regional divisions. But for a book that is less than an inch and a half thick there are an extraordinary amount of choices in here, I just can't wait to get on the road again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential guide to finding local eateries *by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2014* I've had this book since the first edition was printed. I'm not a constant traveler but a yearly traveler. This guide has always been helpful to locate local restaurants where locals know and frequently eat at. This latest edition not only has websites listed but also maps that pinpoint where each restaurant is from major interstates and state roads. They are all within 15 minutes from a major highway. By using common sense it's always easy to order something that is healthy from the menu and avoiding the high calorie, high cholesterol items on the menu that each restaurant may be most known for. Including the phone numbers in the listings is also a big plus to call ahead to be sure they are open when in the area. I'm so glad the Sterns continue to update this guide after so many years. It's a great reference to seek out alternatives to chain eateries and discover a part of Americana. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1274309-roadfood-the-coast-to-coast-guide-to-900-of-best](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1274309-roadfood-the-coast-to-coast-guide-to-900-of-best) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
