You ain’t had nothing, till you’ve had a mess of convenience store sushi from the Tote-a-Poke in Heavener Oklahoma. Best if you just trust me on this.

I don’t want sushi from anywhere, and something tells me thats especially so with the Tote a Poke in Oklahoma.
I would seriously recommend Ron’s Lumberjack Cafe in Heavener Oklahoma though. That’s one of my go to places for breakfast when we are in Le Flore County OK.

Next time you are this way, give Pam's Hateful Hussy Diner in Talihina a try.

We have a handful of Mexican food restaurants in Navasota. The quality is about the same at all of them, but the prices are higher at Los Cabos.

We have what as far as I know are the best breakfast tacos in the state at the Hi-Ho convenience store in the northeast corner of the Highway 6 feeder road and Highway 105 east. When I stop there on my way to work, between 6:00 and 6:30 in the morning, there are seven people working there. There's one lady making the fresh tortillas, two people cooking, two more making up the tacos as people order them, and two at the cash registers.

We have several decent barbecue places also, and at least one of them also has stuff like steaks and hamburgers.

A county bigger than the state of Delaware with only 16,000 people doesn't support much in the way of restaurants. It is common to have half mile between cars on the freeway. More out of state plates than Oregon drivers. They are just driving through. Some will stop for gas. Maybe stop at McD over by the freeway and then on the road again.

We would like to go there and then into the mountains on the North Carolina side We have friends originally from there in NC, that want us to see where they are from. I can’t think of the little town but it’s one that was affected so bad by the flooding a couple years ago.
Several years ago, my cousin was down in Sevierville sitting still in several lanes of traffic at a light and somebody turned across traffic and right into his truck.

My opinion only.... Skip Sevier County and come over to the peaceful side of the Smokies in Townsend (Blount County). Worst traffic you will deal with will be getting through Alcoa/Maryville.

If you stay in Townsend, you have easy access to the park and close to Cades Cove. If you feel inclined to go to Sevier County, you can miss a lot of the traffic and cut through Wears Valley. There is still some traffic of course going into Seiver County, but nothing like coming off of 40 and taking exit 407.

If you can get off of Highway 66 and over to Veterans Highway in Sevier County there is a lot less traffic.

Riverton has a pretty good Mexican (The Depot) and Chinese restaurant, but it you want a good steak forget it. The Trailhead is kind of like a Village inn, it's not so bad of an all around restaurant.

With a name like that, it’s got to interesting, now whether or not I can convince my wife to try it will be a different story. I can hear the mother in law now saying oh my word. I’m sure my wife’s stepfather would have something funny to say about all.
He balked at eating at Dickies bbq.
When my wife and her mother and sister get together it’s a whirlwind of a war of words and opinions. One time when they were visiting us here, he told my wife before her sister got here, to make a sign and put on the door saying no bickering , arguing, or opinions.
Right after we first married, we were rolling through around Conway I believe it was and I was driving and wife had just dozed off asleep when I saw the sign saying Toad Suck park, I excitedly read it aloud and woke her up. She wasn’t very happy about that. Now when we go by it’s always a topic of conversation and one of these days we say we’re going to stop and get picture of it, but so far haven’t seen it in time to stop off, without backtracking.

In Camron that’s a little further North of Talihina there is a catfish house called the Barn I believe it is. That’s really good. I had forgotten about it. I worked as a iorn worker in Shady Point Oklahoma for a couple of years and used to go there. I had forgotten about it until this thread got started.

There was a little dinner called Ruby and Luke’s place near Muldrow that I use to go eat at a lot when I was working there. They were like my adopted parents. I would always get there just as they were opening up before I went to work and Luke would have the coffee making and Ruby most of the time would make my breakfast for me even though they were the owners and had a cook and waiters. And I would get to have breakfast with them just like as if I was at home. That really meant a lot to me at the time. One day I stopped in after getting off work and sit down at my usual table that was kind of off to the side and was going to eat supper. And it was a long table like a cafeteria table.

And Morgan Woodward came in with a big crowd of fans and reporters surrounding him and sat down at the other end of the table. Had damn people gathered around me while I was trying to eat my supper. Kind of embarrassing. The waitress and Ruby & Luke was just sitting across the room smiling and thought it was funny. Morgan was filming something near there for some reason. Was wearing his big cowboy hat and had a western shirt and clean white towel around his neck as not to get his shirt sweaty I think. He order a cup of coffee. So I guess in a round about way I can say I had coffee with Morgan Woodward even though we never said a word to each other. I don’t even think he acknowledged I was sitting at the same table with him. But the whole place was empty except for me when he came in. Looks like he could have at least had the decency to have chose a different place to sit. I had a whole crowd surrounding me while I was trying to eat my supper not to mention I was tired and dirty after having worked 10 hours that day.

Well, scratch that. I just did a search and found out she closed last year. I had driven to Ada OK and stopped in for dinner. Had to be just a few weeks before she closed.

I am not stopping any where that has Catfish in the name. When we first moved here a man from church invited me to go with him fishing for catfish on the Snake River. I went several times. Caught lots of catfish. My wife declared our house a catfish free zone. I agreed. Growing up on the north Washington coast and work in SE Alaska I have eaten too many good fish to ever eat another catfish.

There is a restaurant in Lander called the Cowfish. I have never gone in there, so I have no idea what they serve.

Did they ever reopen the gas station at the exit near you on the highway?

Yes they did a couple months ago. Nice to have gas close if you need it. But they are not shy about charging for things.

It

Do you remember the name of it? I travel by there a few times a year

It's been a dozen years since I have been through there. May not even be the right exit. It was a couple miles off the exit, on the corner next to the gas station. Had enough parking for my truck and trailer, nice place, good service. Did a real good business the few times I was there. I'll do some research.

 

[4hfarms]

I found it on GMaps. Smoking Pig fits the description in my memory. It was the only thing around at that time, and the gas station. Looks to be a plethora of choice there now. Was well worth it back then to get off the road, I would go again if I ever go that way.

 

[chevytaHOE5674]

We've got one restaurant in town that serves dinner. They serve diner type food, but they make good pizza.

O yeah the gas station also has microwaved burgers if that's for fancy. Ha
