After an epic evening and a great night’s sleep in Evanston, Peepaw and I were ready for a hearty breakfast, and one of the “locals” directed us to Jody’s Diner. As soon as we walked through the door, all we had to do was to look at the mural painted on the wall to know […]
Our Evening Stroll And A Wyoming Watering Hole
After a FUN evening making new friends in Evanston, Wyoming we were ready to head back to our motel for “a little shut-eye” as those Wyoming cowboys would say. But before we left Kate’s (the awesome little bar/restaurant downtown) we were approached by a friendly “local” who offered some advice for our return stroll to […]
Evanston, Wyoming – It’s A Small World
If you are a loyal Meemaw Eats social media follower, you may already know that our “Westward Ho” Road Trip recently landed us in Evanston, Wyoming for an overnight stay. (Check out Meemaw Eats on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter too!) Peepaw and I always try to keep our travel days to about 500-600 miles so […]
Penny’s Diner – North Platte, Nebraska
As we headed West on our recent road trip we spent the night in North Platte, Nebraska. And at sunrise we were wide awake and hungry for breakfast. Penny’s Diner was located just a stone’s throw from our motel, so we walked across the parking lot and stepped inside the silver railcar-style eatery. The diner […]
Fort Cody – North Platte, Nebraska
Sometimes the most unexpected roadside attraction turns out to be the most memorable one on a road trip. And that was certainly the case when we stumbled upon Fort Cody in North Platte, Nebraska. As soon as I caught a glimpse of the place I was transported back in time…about 60 years… Back then our […]
Chances R Restaurant – York, Nebraska
The Chances R Restaurant was the diner recommendation from my smartphone GPS as we sailed along Interstate 80 heading West on our next big adventure. So Peepaw and I took a break from the typical Nebraska scenery. Our stomachs told us it was time to stop, and we found ourselves in a town that is […]
A Swiss Steak Church Dinner…and PIE
After spending more than seven hours in the car on a recent trip to Michigan, I was not in the mood to help cook dinner at Peepaw’s sister’s lovely home, so brother in law Robert suggested we take advantage of a once a month local dinner he had enjoyed in the past. So off we […]

Hen House Restaurant – Mahomet, Illinois
When a road trip takes us east through Illinios to visit our Indy kids, our stomachs almost always begin to growl around Mahomet. So on our last trip we tried something different. We stopped at a Hen House Restaurant for lunch. According to their menu, they have four locations in Illinois. Even though this eatery […]
Dan & Jami’s Railway Grill & Bar – Council Bluffs
When you’re on a road trip and you want to know where to eat breakfast…you can ask the GPS “voice” on your smartphone. But other times it pays to do what we like to do. Ask a bartender! That was certainly the case on our recent road trip to Western Iowa…when Underwood Iowa’s Boss Hog’s […]
