Vega Travel Center — Restaurant in Hereford

Was driving across the country, and just happened to end up staying the night at a motel in Vega. Was tired and needed a place to eat. Only two places in town, but luckily this restaurant was still open when I got there. A simple family run gas station + Indian buffet combo.
