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!
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.
Giuseppe’s is a great family restaurant with melt-in-your-mouth pasta made by Giuseppe himself. You can take-out or eat in. They have delicious lasagne and other basics with specials on the gourmet end of the spectrum. The atmosphere is very informal and cozy… it’s just a hole-in-the-wall in a strip plaza (go east on Rte 113 about 1/4 mile, then right on Low St to first strip plaza on right.) but you will return. Beer & wine are also available.
Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuit restaurants are few and far between up here in New England, but every time we travel south on I-95 we make it a point to stop at a Popeye’s at least once. Specializing in New Orleans-style chicken, Popeye’s is the world’s second-largest quick-service chicken chain. We love it! It’s got KFC beat by a mile!

Papa Gino’s is a New England chain of pizzerias specializing in American-style pizza along with pasta, subs, salads, and a variety of appetizers. I’m your typical pizza lover… I could eat it daily if my wife would let me. Of all the pizza I’ve experienced Papa Gino’s is definitely in my top 5. Prices are a little high but they are always having specials deals. AAA members also get special treatment.
There are several Papa Gino’s located just off I-95 exits in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. They also have plans to expand beyond New England… New York, Virginia and Florida. Give them a try!
Fresh New England seafood, generous portions and reasonable prices. The Weathervane is a small, family owned and operated chain of about 16 locations is Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and New York. If you’re an I-95 traveler and you want a real taste of New England seafood, the Kittery, Maine location is perfect! It’s just a minute or two off I-95, exit 2. You can travel off the beaten path but you won’t find much better than Weathervane.
The 99 Restaurant has generous portions and low prices. You’ve got to try the broiled sirloin tips! One pound of tender, juicy, marinated, flame-broiled beef… and only $8.99! I’m hungry already. The “99″ is a small (about 60) family-owned regional chain of New England restaurants. Very popular with the locals, so you know it’s good. We’ve been to several in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and the quality, service and prices are consistently good.
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.
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’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.
