That's cool, I wasn't saying I would only eat fast food but will be having some. But will be going for more expansive evening meals. So Mexican, Cuban and Chinese,Seafood will all be on the menu.

My main point was there are lots of places like Sonic, Popeyes, DQ, LC not in UK so was just after any recommendations which some have supplied.

That's what I took from it. You just want to experience some of it. I want to help make sure you're not disappointed. I am a food lover. I'll want the same advice from you when I come to your country.

Hope you enjoy your visit.

This. So this. Things have changed so much as far as food preparation due to trans fats and the like. Old mom and pop drive in's are pretty much a thing of the past as well.

I'm gonna cosign this. QDoba is by far the best burrito chain I've eaten at. **** Chipotle. Get you some QDobas!!!

Greasy spoon diners have died, and it's soul crushing. It was literally my go to when eating out.

If anyone drives hwy 65 through AR between Branson and Conway, there is a place called the Daisy Queen. For the love of God, eat there. Thank me later. The burgers are ****ing amazeballs!

Both suck. But I also live in little Mexico so we can get authentic anywhere we can swing a dead cat.

This. It's like getting a hooker off backpage.

I also assume you're coming to the states for our superior beers too right?

I believe that. I just have zero good options so it tastes amazing when I am in the mood. I remember good Mexican food...It was just so long ago. Here anyways. I eat plenty of it when traveling. I seek it out. Mexican is one of my very favorites.

Give me recommendations!

I like Bud even over here but I seem to put a ton of weight when I drink it.

TBH most Beers sold in bars here are American, Indian, Dutch, German and Belgian even Brazillian. Brits dont make stuff they just buy from everyone else. The Indian Curry is our national dish.

You can find Cigar City Brewing (Tampa) beers around Orlando. Highly recommended.

I didn't read hardly anything on here - but if you're going to Miami - then +1 mate.

Fortunately, they're still around in here. Kitchen 24, The Pantry, Fred 62, The 101 Coffee Shop (as seen in Swinger's), Swingers on 3rd street, House Of Pies, Mel's and plenty more.

There's nothing better than a night out drinking, then hitting a greasy spoon for eggs over easy, crispy bacon and hash browns.

Oh, and a beer. :D

Most of the Qdobas in Florida are gone. There are Moe's everywhere here, which is a better version of Chipotle offers more toppings as well as free chips and salsa.
