Dined at a great restaurant on your way down I-95 lately? Maybe you've grabbed a bite at a nice little diner. We would love to hear about it! Just use this form. This forum is dedicated to all those road warriors who have found or are looking for that perfect stop along America's East Coast Main Street... I-95!
This is a nice place to take the family! Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar is a national chain with a great atmosphere, a nice selection and reasonable prices. There seem to be more and more Applebee’s being built and we’ve noted that the menu varies from region to region but some of the more popular choices are common to all. They have also got a great selection for the kids.
D’Angelos makes the best subs and salads. We always make it a point of stopping on our way up to visit family in Massachusetts. The staff is always courteous and accommodating (even when we’ve come in 10 minutes before closing!). I have never had a bad sandwich/sub there ever!
I’m a sub man. Always was, always will be. On the road (I’m a salesman) I need good food fast and cheap. Blimpie’s is great food, cheap. I just whip out my Blimpie’s card, order a 12″ Blimpie’s Best and I’m good to go. It’s healthy food too… but that’s not why I like it. It’s just good
We saw a sign for this place on I-95 when My husband and I were heading towards Massachusetts. The traffic was not moving, and it was starting to rain so we decided to get off for awhile and get something to eat.
This place is not only cozy, and the service wonderful and friendly, but the food, is so good. My husband got the lobster pot, what a feast, and for the price, well you just cannot beat it. I had the seafood platter, alot of good food, for very reasonable prices. They serve homemade fresh hot bread, which is so good. The waitresses make you feel like they know you, they just make you feel like you are glad you came there, excellent service. Try the New England Clam Chowder, excellent. We make a point of waiting to eat until we can get to this place, its well worth it.
We do not get up that often as we live down south, but when we are heading up North to Massachusetts, well we hold out to eat until we can get to this place. You will not be disappointed. We go there on the way up and on the way back. You just feel like you got a great meal at a great price.
We’ve always enjoyed breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. They give you good southern food and good friendly service. They also serve lunch and dinner. We recommend this restaurant for a good hearty breakfast at reasonable prices. The rest rooms are very clean. They have a nice gift shop, and have some very charming country items.
Pat’s Kountry Kitchen is located right off of I-95 in Old Saybrook , CT. They have a friendly, homey atmosphere and fabulous food. For the past several years they have been voted best family dining by Connecticut Magazine. One of the house specialties is clam hash. You’ve got to try it… It was great!
Location: I-95 Exit 45 (southbound), or Exit 44, West Haven, Connecticut
The best fried seafood ever is at Jimmy’s, a couple of miles off I-95 in West Haven Connecticut (exit 45, I-95 to 5 Rock Street). It is the last vestige of an old amusement park, Savin Rock (long since demolished), on Long Island Sound. They have sit-down dining, but the atmosphere is quite casual. It does get busy on weekends after 6:00 PM, but it’s well worth the stop.
How about the Georgia Pig? We stop there every time we head down I-95 on the way to Florida. It’s a little BBQ joint about 1/4 mile east of I-95 at Exit 29 in Southern Georgia. It’s the best BBQ on earth, period.
If you’re looking for a change from the fast-food, eat and run stop, try Denny’s. There’s all kinds of them from Virginia to Florida and many are located just off the exits.
For roughly the same price as a fast-food joint, you get to sit down and take a break and be waited on. One nice thing about Denny’s is no matter which one you visit, the menus and prices are all the same. You can get a full breakfast or lunch for under $5, or a respectable dinner for well under $10. It’s not the Ritz but not too shabby for the price.
City Limits Diner is a gourmet restaurant masquerading as a diner. It offers the same great atmosphere and gourmet-to-family fare as the two White Plains locations. This City Limits Diner (which is attached to Marriott’s Fairfield Inn) has an upscale retail area for pastries, breads and dessert sales. The Stamford location also features a spirited decor, state-of-the-art bakery, an extensive bar featuring fifty varieties of beer, as well as an array of wines and spirits, and a spacious seventy-seat private dining room. One can sample a variety of foods, from haute cuisine such as Maryland lump crab cakes and prime New York strip steak, to homespun recipes such as veal meat loaf and balsamic apple glazed grilled pork chops.
I love City Limits Diners because it is great for families, kids, couples and people of all ages looking for a gourmet meal at a great price.
