“Gotta give the Country Pride and specifically my server a shoutout here. First off, since the menu change this is the first Country Pride or Iron Skillet I've been in that didn't feel like they were skimping on the portions and Brieanna was a great server. Although I wouldn't want to wish more loads to New England upon myself I will definitely have this TA saved as a place to stop in the future, the staff were friendly and since so many cheapskates don't want to pay for parking and would rather jam up the Loves across the highway I showed up at 6pm and found plenty of available parking and ended up in a decent position to pick up near New Haven in the morning.”
