Let’s all admit that when selecting a place to dine out, most of us wouldn’t put a truck stop (more modernly referred to as a ‘travel center’) diner at the top of our list. But sometimes when you’re on the road, fast food just doesn’t seem like it will be a satisfying option. If you’ve ever been on a long stretch of the interstate, found yourself hungry and wishing there was an alternative to the same old fast food joints… then why not consider a restaurant at a travel center?

For instance, on Interstate 79 at exit 105, there is a restaurant at a truck stop right off the highway (you can see it from the interstate).

Yes, it's located in a travel center and, yes, there are scales and pumps — and a convenience store next door to the restaurant...

But step to the right and go through this door: the Robin's Nest. It's not fine dining, but if you had a couple of hours for a fine dining experience then we're guessing you wouldn't be traveling out on this part of I-79 right now, would you?

Besides... The Robin's Nest does occasionally pull out a few white table cloths, if you're into that sort of thing.
