Country Pride Restaurant

Buttonwillow, California, humm.. Get gas and use the rest room. Choices Subway, Carls Jr. and Taco Bell. This is a big stop off of Interstate 5 with lot's of truck stops, gas stations and the Country Pride Restaurant. After a string of bad meals and weird happenings along the north south trips from the Bay Area and SoCal, I was looking for some new places to eat and stretch my legs.

The Country Pride Restaurant is not the French Laundry, but its not bad. They have a fresh salad bar with soup and some other items. The salad items are good. The buffet is $10.95. I ordered the $11.99 dinner New York Strip which includes the salad bar. The steak was OK on par with Denny's. The service was good and the restrooms clean. Exxon gas right out front door. Easy access back on to Interstate 5 within 200 yards. Don't forget you are in Buttonwillow, what more could ask for. While we were there two buses stopped in.

Country Pride is located immediately adjacent to Taco Bell.  My bf and I stopped here on our way to San Francisco.  It was a little after 10 a.m.  Breakfast buffet was $8.95, and had a selection of eggs, sausage, bologna, bacon, fruits, oatmeal, etc.

There were only a few people here.  Service was fair.  Food was slightly below average.

My hubby & I stopped here for gas & lunch . He got the Memphis burger & I got the classic. Both were excellent. Our waitress was friendly & gave us good service. Better than fast food.
