72°f/22°C, overcast. We had a shower during the night, light but appreciated.
We stopped here for lunch on our way to the
VA Hospital in
Huntington for Larry's appointment today. We pass this place every time we make this trip, but don't often stop. Today we had a little extra time.
I
first stopped at this place in 2007, and it has come a long way since then---expanded places to plop down with your tray, more wild decor, even a wedding chapel and kissing booth.
It may not look like it in the photos, but the place was packed with tourists and workers from various big construction projects happening along Route 2, which follows the Ohio River (which river, by the way, belongs to West Virginia).
Larry couldn't wait to stick his face in the cutout.
The restrooms used to be outhouses, but they've had an upgrade, thankfully.
I said there was a wedding chapel, and believe it or not, there was a wedding going on while we were there!
People donate most of the stuff used for decoration, and bring license plates to tack to trees and various other places. You can also write your name on pretty much any surface.
There is seating inside the bus if you choose to eat in there. I didnt get a photo of the inside of the main "restaurant " section but you can see it, if you like, in the link to my past posts about Hillbilly Hotdogs.
The menu does actually offer some healthier options these days, like salads and chicken sandwiches. I opted for the latter, and it was huge and delicious; I left half of the bun off it and still could not eat the whole thing. And I have to say, if you want a hotdog, theirs are fantastic!
