Not exactly a Chowhound find persey, but we stopped in Yreka and had breakfast at the Black Bear Diner. We were pleasantly surprised. I guess there’s a few of this small chain on North I5. Not sure how lunch is though. Not...

Travelling north on I-5 from Bay Area to Ashland, OR next week. Any good “road food” along the way (local specialties much appreciated)? Anyone have Ashland recommendations (I’ve already checked the Pac...

the menu and it was very good. Anyway, small detour off I-5 and well worth it considering the roadside options between LA and the Bay Area. Going north we get off at the Mercy Hot Springs exit and then get back to I-5 via 152....

Howdy folks—- Please keep all answers to this query local in nature (ie. places to eat in Los Angeles and Orange Counties along the I-5). If anyone has good ideas about I-5 chow further North in The San Joaquin Valley,...

Check out the Harris Ranch along I-5 near Colinga.

Am planning a trip from northern California along Hwy 101 and up the Oregon Coast with overnighs in Bandon and Lincoln City, cutting over to Seattle somewhere north of the Columbia River. Return trip is I-5 south to Grants Pass...

Montage. http://www.montageportland.com/ Probably the best late-night comfort food you’re going to get right near I-5 after midnight on a Tuesday. If it was one day later, I’d push for Potato Champion.. Alas..

Anyone know a good place to eat off I-5 going from San Jose to Los Angeles? Not Harris Ranch...but, dinerlike and not too pricey? I’ve gone to the Apricot Tree and I am not too fond of it. Thanks

Hi Hounds! I need to pick up a dessert, preferably a fruit tart or pie, on Sunday somewhere between Del Mar and Dana Point, any recommendations? My original plan was to finally try Elizabethan Desserts in Encinitas but they are...

The dining options at both ends are so much more that whenever we do the drive, we don’t eat until we arrive. The drive is usually about 6 to 7 hours. We always stop at Harris Ranch because they have the cleanest restrooms...

Hi all, Next Monday, we’ll be driving from the Eugene/Springfield area north to Portland Airport, and expect to be around Salem around lunch time. What’s good that’s not too far off the I-5? Places near, but not...

Like the title says, I’ll be heading down through Oregon and California, stopping in San Diego for a bit, until finally reaching Yuma, AZ. I’ve never driven through LA or San Francisco, so this should be fun. Along the...

I am headed up I-5 to Portland 2nd week of June and was wondering what chowhound places were good for lunch? Someone on the CA board said to stop in Ashland but don’t know what is available there. Any suggestions would be...
