We live in the US (most precisely in California) were traveling by car is more a necessity than a choice. We get on the
road to visit our parents, to do mini-tourism in the area, and even when we visit other parts of the country. Roadside dining
is not usually a gourmet experience (though we're still hoping it can be), but the quality of road restaurants does vary. For
this reason I'm including this mini reviews. Restaurants are rated in a modified D scale. A restaurant whose quality is
Denny's like (Denny's is an ubiquitous restaurant chain in US roads, its quality is low but consistent and it's open 24-hours
a day) gets a D, a restaurant that is worse than Denny's a D- and one that
is better than Denny's a D+. "Better than
expected" restaurants get a B while "actually good" restaurants an A.
Don't expect many of the latter.
