For a bag of pork rinds, a can of coke, and a taste of a little local twang, any old gas station in the American South will do. But while there are plenty of filling stations peddling processed food and cheap souvenirs, only a few are destinations in and of themselves.
Infinitely hard to classify, each of these sprawling pit stops is one part rest stop, one part restaurant, and one part souvenir shop. You won’t find anything like them up north — and you definitely won’t leave hungry or empty-handed. So, next time you’re cruising I-10 from New Orleans to Marfa, make sure to plan a stop at one of these standouts.
