In some places yea. In others, no. It's going to depend on local resources.
Places like Montana if they begin pumping oil again will have cheap fuel. Same with Texas. But the cost of meat and produce will go up because these places won't be able to sell them to external markets as easily. Also, local employment will be a factor. Restaurants who serve some exotic food from outside of their local area will inevitably have to change their menu or begin lay offs leading to potential bankruptcy. It's a complicated chain.
These are of course just a few examples. The real effect will be much, much worse.
So some places will get hit very bad. Others will be alright.
If you're in NY City for example, it's gonna be terrible. Packed population with massive imports for damn near everything and little local production (not nearly enough to feed 8M people) compounded by government taxes and red tape for everything.

Cities … go back and watch the ORIGINAL Escape from New York With Kurt Russel. No longer fiction … more like a spoiler alert.
