| - On to other 'firsts' experienced this weekend.
After our golf game, the 4 of us (actually, allow me to clarify - the boys) decided to head over to the Blackfoot Truck Stop for breakfast. Since the ratio was 3 boys who wanted to eat at the truck stop vs. me, I bit my tongue and went along with it.
When we first pulled up, I looked over at my friends and said "WHERE have you brought me?" At first glance, it's exactly that - a truck stop. Massive trucks parked everywhere, a lube shop across the street and mammoth-sized parking lot. But then you get inside and it's *awesome*.
Talk about a scene out of a movie! You walk through the doorway and it's as though you've travelled back in time. it's just like one of those breakfast places you'd see on the big screen. Bikers/Truckers and all types of people crowded at various booths, perky waitresses, pink walls, a toy train that rotates along the ceiling, TVs so you can watch while you eat and cheap, cheap food!
They serve pretty standard breakfast fare - omelettes, pancakes, etc. etc. I gotta be honest - I wasn't crazy about the food. It was what you would expect however, and it was super cheap. Each of us paid around $10 for breakfast and drinks and we all had an obscene amount of food left on our plates after all was said and done.
I'm told this place has been around for DECADES. We actually met the owner and she was such a sweet woman! She personally thanked us for coming and rather than being the type of owner that just sits back and manages, she was actually the one working the register!
Overall, a very interesting place. LOTS of character, LOTS of ambiance and LOTS of food. This definitely isn't the type of place you visit for the food, it's the type of place you visit for the experience!
