What a great little spot on 253 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton, Florida! They have 12 flavors of empanadas, we tried about 7 and each and every one was better then the last, they also have these amazing pizza’s! Everything is baked right there on the spot, it takes about 5 minutes, it comes out warm and fresh and beyond yummy.

For dessert we had gelatto, it really, truly was the best ice cream I have ever had in my entire life! The Dulce de Leche and Blackberry was to die for… they explained that it was Artisan ice cream and that this brand had won the best ice cream in Florida for the past few years! It was worth every single mile we drove. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant and plan to go back again, and again, and again, ENJOY!

We eat at Jose’s Border Cafe on a regular basis and our grandchildren absolutely love it. In all the times we have been there, we have never had a bad experiance. We love Jose’s and recommend it to all our friends.

Where can you dine in South Carolina on Christmas? In Santee, it’s either the Waffle House or Peking Chinese Restaurant. My husband warned that he didn’t want to hear grumbles from me about salty, over cooked food. We walked in and were delighted to find a large Chinese group who had just ordered. I ordered in the vein of “I’ll have what they’re having.” Don’t let the humble and bleak setting fool you. Duck sauce is stored in what appears to be old ketchup bottles, and condiments are displayed in rudimentary plastic bag holders.
The food was hot, fresh and tasty. Service was good as our young waiter obliged our requests to copy food orders. Not bad for Christmas on I-95 on the road.

Location: I-95 Exit 119, Wilson, North Carolina

It is a few miles off the highway (I-795 to Downing Street) in Wilson, North Carolina but if you like real country cooking, it is the place to stop. It is worth the time. They have real chicken pot pie, barbecue, cabbage, collards, potato salad and on and on. The Banana Pudding is great too. They have a great take out area too.

We stop at least once going and coming from Tallahassee to Norfolk.

Loves Seafood Restaurant is one of the nicest seafood restaurants that I have visited. They have excellent food and the service is great. The staff was wonderful and the choices on the menu seemed to be unlimited. I recommend this restaurant as a great stop for I-95 travelers!

Location: I-95 Exit 104, Pooler, Georgia

It was late… we were tired… and all the other restaurants in the area were closed! But a beacon of light with an “open” sign shot out from a parking lot just off I-95 at the Pooler exit and we didn’t know what kind of treat was in store for us! This is a “down home” sort of place with all the fixin’s you’d expect from a truely southern restaurant. Fried catfish, hush puppies and coleslaw were featured on the menu… but so were a ton of things you’d order anywhere from Maine to Florida… something for ALL tastes.

Great food, reasonable prices and outstanding service. You won’t go wrong stopping here anytime… even late at night!

Ever since I was a little kid, my parents would drive from Philly to Disney via I-95, hitting all the Bob’s Big Boy/Shoney’s along the way. There used to be one in Delaware, but I don’t know if it still exists… Other good ones were in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina and Walterboro, South Carolina. The food stops were how I timed the (18 hour) trip and how my parents switched driving spots. They had excellent club sandwiches, and never-to-be-equaled biscuits and gravy for any meal, anytime.

Location: I-95 Exit 97, Smithfield, North Carolina

This Golden Corral is located right across the road from the Carolina Premium Outlet Mall. It is the best Golden Corral restaurant that we have ever eaten at. The restaurant is impeccably clean with a wonderful selection of food. Everything was fresh and delicious.

We recommend it to all I-95 travelers!

Location: I-95 Exit 180, Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina

The building literally looks like it is about to fall down and the drive-in menu is hand lettered.

The food was great and cheap. I think it is only open from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM with breakfast served until 11:00 AM. It’s the real thing with a huge pork BBQ sandwich, side and tea for under $4.00. Most dinners are under $6.00 with over 15 choices on vegetables. I wanted to try a bologna burger or fatback and grits but was a little leary.

Stop by for a cultural experience. It’s next to a McDonalds but the Abner’s sign has fallen down so just check your GPS.

Location: I-95 Exit 87, Richmond Hill, Georgia

Southern Image Restaurant has excellent, home-cooked southern food. They offer a buffet or menu service. We enjoyed the lunch buffet which for adults is $7.95. Dinner buffet is priced at $9.95. The buffet has a lot to choose from but it’s definitely not for anyone on a diet.

The service is great and the atmosphere is special. The restaurant is conveniently located just off I-95, exit 87. I recommend it to all my friends!
