No road trip is complete without a stop at a diner. It's hard to beat a cheeseburger charred on a griddle or an old fashioned breakfast scramble cooked in grease from that morning's bacon.

The Highway Diner is a unique spot found in Rocky Mount that serves up good food in a fun setting. Here's what Love Food had to say about the best roadside diner in North Carolina:
"As sleek and shiny as a beautifully-restored vintage Airstream and resembling a giant jukebox, The Highway Diner was actually opened at the end of the 20th century — though you'd never know it. It's 1950s-style inside and out, from that chrome-finished exterior to the red and white leather booths. The cute decor, with lots of vintage details, wins praise, as does the comforting old-school menu. The fried green tomatoes are a must-order."
