Around exit 3 of I-81 in Greencastle, PA, we like to stop at the Antrim House (about a mile east on rt 16 in the center of town). Home-style cooking (not fine dining, not fancy, but a good on-the-road meal) with fresh-baked pies. I highly advise their peach pie, especially this time of year. If you are traveling north on I-84 through CT, I suggest Rheins NY Style Deli in Vernon. I think it is around exit 65. Again, not gourmet or fine dining, but a great stop for breakfast or lunch, but dinner could be fine as well.
