    I love a good bowl of seafood soup - conch or mares.
    Just sit down and chill.

    Favorite fast food is Silvergreens!

    Mongolian BBQ - Its make your own... so whatever you want!
    Beni Hana - I likes all the Sushi, The Las Vegas roll is YUM, but also filled with cream cheese and deep fried.
    Ralphies (local to Ohio)- Chicken chunk bowls


    I don't care too much for drive thru's, but I do like Wendy's sometimes, Asiago chicken sandwich. Or the breakfast sandwiches at Sonic.

    It really depends on what I'm in the mood for but all are able and willing to cater to gluten and dairy allergies.:ohwell:

    fave fast Mexican : Moes Southwest - the have an awesome salad that really need no dressing (close talker with pork - no shell)

    fave fast "American": Panera Bread - they make a great Thai chicken and greens salad that they adjust for me

    Fave "burger joint" - (always a challenge being gluten and dairy free) Five Guys Burgers and Fries - they make a burger salad for me (everything you'd normally put on a burger, over lettuce, no cheese, in a dish and they are always careful of gluten contamination) :drinker:

    In the UK here, may favorite fast food is Leon (sweet potato falafel or grilled meatballs rice boxes) or EAT (chicken and chipotle salsa toastie or spicy crayfish noodles) or YO! Sushi (I like pretty much all of it). It's real, yummy food and it' s fast.

    I love going to a lot of local eateries here. I live at the shore so TONS of places to go that aren't chain restaurants! I am sort of obsessed with Muscle Maker Grill... and I noticed the two closest to me make their food differently from each other. Fast Food wise... I really loooooove Taco Bell. McDonald's and Wendy's are touch and go.

    Oh, and a chain sit-down restaurant I love is Cracker Barrel, but there isn't one within an hour of me anymore. :\ And Panera Bread! The closest one is about 30 minutes away.

    My favorite fast food places are Jack in the Box (for the Ultimate Cheeseburger combo) and Sonic (for the footlong chili cheese coney).

    My favorite sit down restaurants are The Cheesecake Factory (for the cheesecake, lol) and Olive Garden (because everything Italian is awesome).

    I hardly eat out anymore but when I do it is the Bonefish Grill. Ahi Tuna always, sometimes as an appetizer, sometimes the large as a meal! Entree varies, last time I had wolf fish. I can usually get out with about 800 calories sharing the appetizer, an entree and one drink.

    My family likes to eat out at Applebee's on Monday's for their half-priced appetizers and $5 burgers. My favorites are the Cowboy burger and the Cheddar Cheese Burger. Substitute vegetables in place of the french fries and take half of the burger home with you for lunch the next day and you have a nice dinner!

    We also like to go to Cherry Berry for dessert afterwards. Love their low and nonfat frozen yogurt! :love:

    Burgatory!! I think it might only be here in Pittsburgh but you can build your own burger (they even have Kobe beef and wagyu) with a specialized rub, any crazy topping you can imagine, plus super creative boozy milkshakes like bananas foster with dark rum mmmmmmmm!

    I love the taco bell fresco menu, like someone else said. Also Subway sandwiches and their salads are also good, they usually have the nutrition facts hanging up.

    I absolutely LOVE Texas Roadhouse--I love the catfish and the single chop but what I really go there for is their garden salad; that is the BEST salad I have ever taste!

    I had REAL Kobe Beef a few years ago. Not Burger but a real steak. It was simply amazing. Imagine a 1" thick steak that you cut with gentle pressure of your forks edge. You put it in your mouth and it starts to dissolve on your tongue. I cut each piece smaller and smaller to make it last.

    It was awesome but I doubt I will ever have it again. It was $102 for a 6oz piece with potatoes and asparagus. I could only justify this because we were at a very special place at a very special time.

    Chipotle, hands down. It's a good thing the closest one to me is about 75 miles - haha. My go-to's at Chipotle are Chicken Burrito Bowl or Chicken Salad. I guess it could be worse :)

    No, I usually just go with the regular burger because I add so many other things that I'm looking at like $20 for a burger but I think I might next time I go...because it's going to be a huge indulgence I might as well go all the way!
