Corinth, Kentucky
Located on Interstate 75 about an hour south of Cincinnati, this family-owned truck stop feels like a highway version of the Cheers bar, with wood paneling and taxidermy on the wall. “It’s a throwback. They know your name,” Lopez says. “It’s got a mom and pop feeling, a family atmosphere.” Customers also consistently praise the friendly wait staff.
