When in the Durham area, go another 8 or 9 miles southwest to Chapel Hill. In Chapel Hill, go to Sunrise Biscuit kitchen Their chicken biscuits are, by far, the best we've ever had. It closes at 2 or 2:30 pm. No indoor seating. it's drive through, or you can walk into the side door near the pick-up window, and order inside. Take to your car and enjoy. It's our top breakfast roadfood anywhere, and probably in top 5 or 10 of all roadoods, in our opinion.

Mama Dips in downtown Chapel Hill has very good fried chicken.
Roast Grill in Raleigh has very ood dogs / chili dogs.
The original location of Char Grill at 618 Hillsborough St in Raleigh has good burgers.

Make sure you root or the UNC Tarheels when in Chapel Hill. ;)

79 down into WVA, then pick up rt 19 S. This takes you to 77 and you drive all the way to NC. Once in NC, take 74/rt52 to route 40E

Assuming your trip will take you by/through WDC:

(Google away)

Mario's Pizza House, Arlington, VA (subs, pizza squares; try BBQ topping)
Metro29 Diner, Arlington, VA (great fried shrimp; great breakfast, too)
Hard Times Cafe, Arlington, VA; Alexandria, VA (chile & O.R.'s)
Willard's BBQ, Chantilly, VA (many "styles" of BBQ, done well)
The Quarterdeck, Arlington, VA (crabs 'n suds)
Tune Inn, WDC (bar food & beer)
Ben's Chili Bowl, WDC (half-smokes w. chili; breakfast, too)
Ray's The Steaks, Arlington, VA (steaks at reasonable prices)
Ray's Hell Burger, Arlington, Va (burgers at high prices)
Yorkshire Restaurant, Manassas Park, VA (Their "Top Hat" rocks; breakfast, too)
The oldest still operating Five Guys, King and Beauregard, Alexandria, VA (if you've never yet been to a Five Guys)
The Atlantis, Alexandria, VA (Greeks doing red-sauce Italian: the best!)
Crisfield's, Silver Spring, MD (seafood)
Peking Gourmet Inn, (Bailey's Crossroads area), Falls Church, VA
OMG: forgot crabcakes: G&M Seafood Restaurant, Linthicum, MD

BTW: From my "list", Metro29 Diner, Tune Inn, and Ben's Chili Bowl have been featured on Cable "foodie" shows: Guy Fieri, Adam Richman, etc.

And Ray's Hell Burger is President Obama's "go to" place when the Food-Cop-in-Chief is out of town. He has also visited Five Guys and Ben's.

And speaking of Presidents, "H.W." and "W" were both loyal patrond of the Peking Gourmet Inn.

Yea a route would help us help you.

I would possibly guess I 76 to I 81 to I66 to US 15 south to Greensboro?

If the Triangle Diner in Winchester were open yet I would recommend it on nostalgia alone but they are still doing restoration work. I hold out hope they will reopen this year.

If you do get anywhere near Richmond I recommend Hogshead Cafe , though get there early, lately there is a line to get in the (small ) place when it opens at 11:30, because it is just that good.

Also it is going to depend on what days you travel as some places are closed Sundays, Mondays, etc.
