You can search loud and down, but it is difficult to find a southern who does not like a road trip. Perhaps it is our talent to transform everything into a celebration, or our deeply rooted appreciation for the simple joys in life – but give us a good section of highway, and we will entertain ourselves for hours. It usually starts with a large company, then a solid playlist, but perhaps the most important of all: something well to eat.
Travels on the way are the perfect excuse to give in to desires, and more often than not, it means stopping for a bite in a beloved fast food chain. We wanted to know which emblematic signs make the southerners become off -road and head directly to the driving service – so we asked, and you all delivered. Here are eight fast food stops that our readers say that it is always worth the detour.

“If I see a Buc-Ee sign, I stop,” explains a reader, and that sums up roughly what most of our readers think of this convenience store on the theme of the beaver. You might say that BUC-EES is not a fast food joint, but we would say that it is partly stopping food, partly paradise and everything else. There are apparently endless treats to choose, but our readers said they stop for the famous chest sandwich, shrimp basket and chocolate scent.
Chick-Fil-A

One of our readers describes this company based in Georgia as a place “always good and has healthy options”, and we will please a frosted lemonade to this. No matter what you order from the Chick-Fil-A menu, the service is reliable and the food always strikes the place. According to our readers, classics like the chicken sandwich meal (additional pickles, please) and seasonal treats like the fishing milk-lounge are still worth arrested.
Braum
Since its opening for the first time in 1968, this emblematic southern chain has been an hotspot by the roadside for burgers, icy yogurt and, above all, fashionable ice cream. The selection of Braum ice cream consists of more than 100 flavors, ready -made with milk from the company’s private herd. You will find favorites of nostalgic fans such as the Triple Chocolate cheese cake or the first Amaretto Peach Charlotte. So, the next time you see a giant ice cream cone panel, go ahead and remove.
What-A burger
The big orange “W” sign could just as easily be a magnet, because many of our readers cannot spend one without stopping. For more than 75 years, this chain of burgers born in Texas has maintained the supplied travelers and the content for kilometers. And who would not want to shake a long journey with a full menu of generous burgers, a breakfast all day and fries with spicy ketchup? A reader recommended: “What-a-Burger in the morning for teasing!” I love their salsa too. ”

This midfielder chain of Midwestern has made its way through the south and in the hearts of our readers. Ass signature butter is a sufficient reason for stopping at the stand, but associate it with a frozen custard and the iconic curd with the cheese of Wisconsin, and you have a combo that our readers swear.

Founded in North Carolina in 1977, this fried chicken joint is practically a rite of passage for travel on the Southern Road. A bojangles spot can be more difficult to come depending on where you live, but our readers do not lose the opportunity to stop whenever it is on the way. As for what they order, our readers remain simple: fried chicken and cookies will lead you where you have to go.
Chicken salad chicken

Since this company based in Georgia fell on the stage in 2008, their chicken salad was a dream of driving become reality. Chicken Salad Chick offers more than a dozen flavors of their signature dish, which you can enjoy sandwiches, green leafy vegetables or large, shared “fast” containers. And this is only the beginning – the equal salad, the grape salad, the pasta salad and the pimento cheese are also for the ride.

When you have a car full of hungry people and time for a single stop, you can’t go wrong with your chicken fingers, especially when they have just lifted canes. Our readers swear by crisp chicken offers, fries cut with rolling and, of course, the sauce of the iconic cane that seems to make it very better. Add a toast to Texas and a large frozen tea, and you are golden.
