5.0 out of 5 stars Very well organized for travelers, June 2, 2005

By	A. Cowper "AsktheNursePRN" (VA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like this book for several reasons. It is well organized with all the important information. It also has maps so you can carry it in your car and call ahead. The few restaurants/stores that I know of are exactly what the person who is trying to eat healthy or is on a special diet would be looking for. Thankyou! I will recommend it to all my clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healthy Highways, never out of reach, December 29, 2004

By	Happy Traveler (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews

For much of the past 30 years The Goldbecks books have shown me how to eat, what to eat and now at last they've also shown me where to eat. Hooray to D & N Goldbeck for Healthy Highways. Once again you've contributed to my healthy lifestyle. Your guide not only showed us where to eat, it has also taken us off the main roads to new adventures during our vast travels. Thank you, thank you, thank you

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Goldbecks, December 27, 2004

By	Barry Feinstein "Barry Feinstein" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A must for the car travelers who want good food on the road. It's so nice to pass up Mac Donalds etc. and find something we actually enjoy eating. Going an extra mile or two is certainly worth the little time it takes to get there.
