Blackfoot Truckstop Diner banana cream pie

Step into the Blackfoot Truckstop Diner, and you’ll find a place where time slows down and comfort food takes centre stage.

Among the favourites, the banana cream pie stands out with its flaky crust, creamy filling and just the right amount of nostalgia.

Blackfoot Truckstop Diner

Since 1956, the Blackfoot Truckstop Diner has been dishing up no-nonsense homemade food for truckers and ordinary city folk alike, and it feels as if it hasn’t changed much since then. Go for turkey dinner on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and for pork chops, mushroom burgers and old-school milkshakes, anytime. Bring a few coins so you can pick some tunes on the vintage jukeboxes, and kids will get a kick out of the model trains running overhead.

But on the subject of comfort, the banana cream pie is where it’s at. The flakey homemade crust is heavy with real bananas, custard and whipped cream. A slice is so big it’s hard for one person to finish. But you’ll have to try.
