Driving from Bend OR to Livermore CA. Any options to Black Bear Diner in Redding for lunch in between?

Recall seeing website at some point that listed California Interstate 5’s exits and the restaurants/hotels/gas stations for each. Does anyone know the link/website? Will be helpful for road trip (SF to LA). We seem to zip...

We travel this route regularly and would welcome recommendations of where to get good food. We wouldn’t mind driving a few miles off the road for a decent meal. We have found Dunsmuir to have some good eats (as was noted on...

Should you find yourself on I-5 this holiday weekend, take the Buttonwillow ezit (in the vicinity of Bakersfield) for some authentic and tasty Salvadorian and Mexican food. IMO, Tita’s would be a major find in SF, LA or San...

Hi all, The hubby and I are driving from Portland to Gallup, NM via I-5 and I-40. I would love some non-chain (unless they are local and good) restaurant suggestions that are close to the freeway and worth stopping at. We are huge...

If you’re going through Portland on Saturday, you’d do better to take the I-205 Loop around rather than I-5. If you get off I-205 on Division & go west for 1/4 mi. then south on 82nd for 1/4 mi., you’ll come to...

Please help out a hound traveling to Red Bluff. What are some insider spots in these towns? Good Mexican? Ice Cream? Deli sandwiches? Local ag items to purchase? Has anyone been to Andy’s Meat Locker in Orland? I see it when...

I got the name wrong in my previous post. Darn. It is certainly worth a stop. Hope I spelled the name of the town right! I’d like to know if anyone has tried their ribs! The homemade soup was so good!

, macaroni salad and beans. I’d go again. As for the Famous Feedbag, don’t bother. It’s not worth leaving I-5. Stopped in Red Bluff the evening of the day I had lunch at Big Stuff. I didn’t want a full...

Ok, I bet ur laughing at me for even asking this question, but can anyone recommend a good place to eat or stop off for a little while off of I-5 between LA and SF? I know it’s more fun to take 101, but we really...

The only place I’ve found off I-5 between Seattle and Portland is La Tarasca in Centralia, but they don’t serve breakfast (they do serve kick-ass Mexican food for lunch and dinner). I know that there’s a good...

I5 or 101? I5 not so much. We always stop at Harris Ranch because they have the cleanest restrooms between SF and LA. There is an In N’Out a bit south of Harris Ranch. Otherwise we just wait till LA for lunch. There are lots...

A friend and I decided to take the backroads home from San Jose to L.A. this weekend. Whilst on Hwy. 25 we stumbled upon Los Cuates, a market and restaurant in Hollister. We both ordered the chilaquiles and were blown away. They...

hope it’s OK to cross post this both on the California and Pacific Northwest boards, since I’m not getting any responses over on CA: I’ll be driving with friends from Sacramento to George, Washington for the...

Sounds like a great trip. This board has had sooo many, many threads about I-5 between N. CA and Oregon you wouldn’t believe....and very recent as well. I drive from Sacramento to Portland often and now I just do a...
