I see they even have local stores in FL, but too bad not close to Tampa. The next time I see these I'll definitely pick them up. The lemon sugar cookies are positively addicting.

They have tons of flavors and I see off hand they sell them in NC, SC, FL to name a few areas!

Yes, there are chain places very close by, but i will always choose a locally owned place. In writing this review I was surprised to see there seems to be 2 places owned by the same company. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the fried Chicken and she had the Country Fried Steak. There was a choise of potatoes and I picked the hashbrowns...also very good. Based on the ambience we hoped it would be good..Surprise it was great! My chicken was well cooked and worth the wait. She agreed hers was very good. The meal was generous, neight of us can eat like we used to so we took the lefyovers with us and they were good later that day. The waitress was friendly, which I readily admit is difficult just off the interstate. We both agreed that it is unfortunate it is unlikely we will return, tourists going cross country. But I greatly recommend stopping if you are close.

I had the misfortune of choosing this Starbucks as my pitstop off i40 heading back to WNC and before realizing how long the wait was--25 minutes!! The drive-thru line was backed up out of the parking lot and I grabbed the LAST (Literally) spot in the lot. Of the two bathrooms they have, one was out of commission for repairs. Again--no disrespect to the hardworking folks at this location. Just sharing this review for my fellow i40 road warriors: if you're craving Starbucks, save yourself some sanity and wait another 10 minutes in either direction for the next one.

A great selection of proteins on the steam table and a nice variety of the classic breakfast offerings. A big plate of scrambled eggs and I was able to add cheese sauce and mushrooms on one side of my plate. On the other, some sausage links (very overdone) and some sliced ham (extremely salty). Lots of other high carb options available including biscuits, pancakes, French toast sticks, cheese and plain grits, home fries and tots. Something that might have been fried chicken livers and also some pieces of fried chicken. A dessert bar with banana pudding, jellos and fruits was also available. The place is clean and the service was great, clearing dirty dishes and restocking coffee creamer. A satisfying meal for sure. [Review 542 of 2026 - 4637 in North Carolina - 25724 overall]

Menu is extensive, something for everyone or you always get the salad , soup and hot bar. Nothing fancy but is exactly what you may want. The restaurant is eclectic with all kinds of signs and pict, something to see. Their booths are nice and large. They have tables too if booths are not your preference. They have lighter dinners and their normal meals are large. Fries are always good and baked potatoes are hot! Large burgers, several kinds, Try the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. One of my favorites. They also do a breakfast bar in the mornings and later Friday nights.
