I went to a White Castle for the first time recently. I've never had such a revolting experience. Is there actually any beef used in those hamburgers?

Ann

McDonald's in Breezewood, PA, right off the turnpike.

I thought whitecastle was bad until I ventured into a Krystal in Gadsden, Alabama. Avoid.

Another vote for the castle from me (White Castle). Ate 15 last night. Can still taste 'em. LOL

The Arby's in Pine Grove, PA, just off of Route 81 is always excellent. Hot food, friendly service, clean bathrooms -- just what the hungry traveller orderded!

Best cheeseburgers in the world: Swenson's Drive-In Restaurants. There are five locations in the Akron, OH area. FANTASTIC!!!

It's the late 50's and 60's, and it's Daytona Beach, and we're at the 'Steak 'n Shake' on Atlantic Blvd. Ciao

As an airline employee I fly to California on a Saturday morning, grab In and Out Burger for lunch, and then go home.

It is that good...

Tommy's Burgers in Southern California have the best chili burgers and chili fries.

We love Del Taco and Fat Burger in Las Vegas. I'm not sure of their other locations. Also enjoy previous poster's recommendations about Gray's Papaya and Papaya King in NYC. Also, Checkers for burgers, fries and shakes - various locations across North and South East. Enjoy!

Winstead's in the Kansas City area---beats steak and shake any day.

the waffle house in cocoa beach florida is filthy.

Del Taco is a good Southern California choice for fast food. One of the few chains that I know that makes the beans from scratch - as opposed to Taco Bell's bean powder and water paste.

In Wisconsin, look for Culver's for great burgers and frozen custard.

Waffle House may not be fast food, but it is definately road food. Where else can you pull off the interstate at 11 o'clock at night and order breakfast?

That's what a hamburger's allll about.

Damn, I wish they would move out here.

Fast food places that have decent food but service and cleanliness vary:
Wendy's (a couple in areas surrounding D.C. and Baltimore have good fried chicken)
Arby's
Chick-fil-a (never any problems with anything there except sometimes too crowded and there aren't that many that are outside of malls unfortunately...be sure to try their chicken biscuit if you want breakfast on the road-yummy)
Carl's Jr. (are there any outside of California? APpear to be affiliated with the inferior Hardee's that are everywhere )
Pollard's in Norfolk and Virginia Beach (best fried chicken in the world and always fresh)
Burgers (the ultimate road trip food, but be careful not to overdo it because being too full will make you sleepy and sluggish):
What-a-burger in Newport News, Virginia
Biggie's in San Clemente, California (best burger I've ever had outside of a typical restaurant and there's only one or two of those that I liked even more, and some of the only affordable dining in California, better than Fatburger)
