U.S. Chain Restaurants
What are your favourites? I'm off for 2 weeks to Florida on Saturday so am interested in what people think the better ones are.

Personally, when I've been in the States, I've not really bothered with chain type restaurants, as there are so many good independant ones.

If you're in Orlando you should check out Key W. Cools, we used to go there when we were little and it was very nice. Went back a few years ago but wasn't good for me not eating meat.
And the Planet Hollywood at Downtown Disney is always fun, theres also several good places to eat around downtown disney, like the House of Blues. Disney's Boardwalk has a few good places too. |

I'm here at the moment, although not in Orlando. For Italian, Olive Garden aren't bad, and you certainly won't leave hungry. For steaks, i've never had a bad one at a Longhorn, although make sure you have the baked potato with it as the chips are so salty they are inedible. Well the ones I had last night were!
Red Lobster is always pretty good for seafood. I like Bob Evans for breakfast and if you just fancy chicken pie and mash Perkins are good value. |

Panera Bread is great - Go for one of their 'Pick 2' Sandwich & Soup Combos - fantastic
Salsaritas is great for Burritos etc. Those two are my favourites |

Are they good? My friends rave about the place but never been, mostly because it's at the Florida Mall and we always eat at California Pizza Kitchen if we're there.

I did like all the Golden Corral buffets they had in Orlando tbh.
California Pizza Kitchen is nice as is Brio. |

Pei Wei is like a fast-food version of P.F. Changs. Pretty decent and cheap American Chinese food.
You can get a pretty decent burrito at Chipotle and there are lots of those everywhere. |

Olive Garden is a definite. As IW says, you'll never go hungry eating there. I love their everlasting salad bowl.
