The menu at Omar’s Hi-Way Chef is vast, offering breakfast all day, and diner classics like burgers, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. With diner staples like this, it makes sense the restaurant inside the Triple T Truck Stop landed on a “best of” list.
The website FreightFlock.com released its “Professional Truck Driver’s Guide to America’s 12 Best Roadside Eats” list and has the Triple T eighth on the list.
Freight Flock paid attention to the following categories when deciding which truck stops to add to their list:
- Parking
- Convenience
- Quality and food service
- Operating hours
- Local or historical significance
- Amenities
“Roadside eats have a special place in the heart of American culture, as they offer a place for rest and refueling while on long road trips across the country. Professional drivers especially take solace in great roadside eats because they spend so much time traveling on highways and interstates.”
Erica Chappell
Omar’s Hi-Way Chef and Triple T ranked pretty well along with the other spots located in South Carolina, Oklahoma, California, and Montana to name a few. Triple T is actually the only Arizona truck stop to make the list.
Keep on truckin’, Triple T!

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
