Not a bad purchase
I bought this book, planning my road trip across the US and was excited to start reading it. It's written in an easy, colorful style, short reviews about each of the restaurants.
I felt that there should have been photos in the book - how can there not be? The best dish, a nice design, or a pretty view, perhaps.
Also, at times it seems that the writers were so excited about being able to eat and get paid for it, that they forget to actually review the food, and instead focus on the whole experience, which is usually a lot more fun when you are a critic.

Roadfood Review
I am very happy with this book. I have other Roadfood and Goodfood books as well as other Stern books, including Square Meals. I have just started to read it but I am enjoying the book, especially the new places.

If you eat food this book is not for you
I am a road musician and found this book deeply disappointing. I know most of the towns they pass through and the authors consistently miss the actual food with real local caricature. There taste is for the safe, white, wipe clean menu version of road food. Their web site is a joke. Chowhound or Urbanspoon is a much better resource plus the Roadfood site constantly directs you to a pay service. The book may be a little better than having nothing to help find food on the road that is not from a corporate chain. Trust your instincts. If you get off the freeway looking for one of the places in the book and the place down the block or across the street looks more interesting it probably is.

Roadfood - Coast to Coast Guide
I love how the book is broken up into manageable 'regions' of the country as my husband and I tend to drive a section of the US when we wander. We are not afraid to go off the beaten path - we frequently, on the return portion of trips - take smaller roads. However, as we're generally anxious to get to our destination (family visits) on the outbound trip, we are on the interstate but willingly head several miles off it to find a local restaurant in the nearest town. Our return trips tend to be lengthy and we amble through small towns. This book is a great combination of both routes we take and so helpful.
