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!
Young Plantation has a new store located just off of I-95 exit 164 in Florence, South Carolina. They have an in store bakery (with fresh breads, pies, and cakes), awesome sandwiches, ice cream, and a full range of pecans and southern specialty foods. Check it out! Their number is 843-662-2452
Although I didn’t try the chicken, we stopped in Georgia at the Huddle House and I looked over the menu and it seemed to have a lot of southern specialties for very low prices. This is ery different from what I’m used to seeing as a New Yorker. They have chains all over the Carolinas and Georgia, look for signs along the way.
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.
I’m a sales rep. traveling the southeast, and always looking for a good, cheap place to stuff my face. Got one for you, I-95 in South Carolina Exit 53. South bound exit 53 stop sign left over Interstate immediately on right. Northbound, stop sign right immediately on right. LONG HORN, not affiliated with Long Horn Steakhouses. This is independent. One of the best buffets I’ve ever increased my cholestorol level in. If you don’t like country cooking (please stay away) If you do, check it out. $6.95 All-You-Can-Eat. CHEERS!
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!

Jasper’s Porch Lakeside Restaurant is a very charming little place. If you sit on the porch, not only can you enjoy some great food, you can look out on the lake and watch the turtles and gators swimming in the water below. Very fascinating for kids! They have wonderful service and tasty food. Don’t forget to try the fried pickles!
When traveling on the Interstates I look for good food cooked fast. I don’t usually stop at truck stops but this one time I decided to try the Travel Centers of America Country Pride. They have the best pancakes and coffee I have ever had !! If you ever want some good food stop at Country Pride.
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, NC and Walterboro, SC. 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.
My family and I where traveling to Florida and stopped at the Manning Shoney’s exit 119. This Restaurant was quite different than most Shoney’s restaurants we have visited. It was modern, and had one of the friendliest staffs we have ever encountered. The selection of food from the buffet was outstanding and menu food was also available. The management of this store deserves high praise. All aspects of our dinning experience were outstanding.
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.
