I may have a couple more in my notes, but this is all I can find for now.

When visiting Portland OR. Rock Creek Tavern is a great ride to eat destination. Make sure you ride Germantown Rd to get there, great twisty mountain roads. The food and service are great and atmosphere funky.

Big Sur River Inn - Big Sur CA. You can actually sit on a chair in the creek with your feet in the water during the summer and have them serve you very good food. Make sure to ride the Old Coast Road on the way.

There is a Fast Eddie's in Walla Walla, WA. It's a drive in only (no inside seating) but they do have some picnic tables outside for travelers. Seen a few m/c types chowing down there in the past.

+1 Reata Alpine TX

Was there back in October.

Starlight Theater in Terlingua had closed; something about lease or unpaid bills. the whole crew had moved down to the Boathouse and set up operations. However it's open air and full of flies.

Sorry to hear about the Starlite Theatre, that place was a classic. Hard times for restaurants lately. At least the ride is still great around there. It is a classic ride along the River Rd.

I first saw this list on the ST-Owners forum. Great list & I carry it on my netbook when I travel.

You have a lot of the Triple D locations, but several of the later years are missing. There are some I would like to hit on the way to SD & MT this year. Can they be added or is there another place to find them?

Thanks for your work on this. Always looking for a new place to eat on the road.

Thanks for the kind words and I'm so glad you enjoy the site.

When I first started it, I didn't want to start with a blank slate so I "seeded" it with data from a few good sources, like DD&D and Feasting on Asphalt for example.

Since then however, all new additions are added directly by the site users. I don't want to get into automatically adding more content... I prefer data straight from other riders, who rate and comment restaurants based on their "ride to eat" suitability.

However, all is not lost. One of the many specialized lists at poi-factory is a well-maintained DD&D list you can find at http://www.poi-factory.com/node/6232.

So you have the best of both worlds! But if you visit any of those spots that you think would be a good addition to the ridetoeat.com site, please drop by and add it!

Cool site. Another reason to plan rides.
One thought- is there a way to sort cities alphabetically by state? I think most folks can identify cities along a route. Alpha sort would help us find places to eat along that route.

Well, I've been saying this so long that I hardly believe it myself any more... but a sortable, filterable list is coming.

In the meantime, if you have excel you could just go to my download page (ridetoeat.com/rte/downloads) and grab a copy of the spreadsheet - which you can sort to your heart's content - or the Streets & Trips file, which can show you all of the RTE sites along your route.

Or if you don't have Streets & Trips you could go to my map page (ridetoeat.com/rte/map) and check it out that way.

BTW, I made changes to the column layout yesterday. The whole comment column should now be visible without left-right scrolling.

About a month ago I started a thread under the same topic for Ontario. If you are coming north of the border you might be interested. It's in the Canadian section of the regional forums, but it's probably a few pages back as it has not been active for a while. This is good information to have if travelling to an unfamilliar area.
