Five Guys makes my favorite burgers, but I also don't like their (soggy here and in WI) fries. Though Red Robin makes some pretty delicious burgers, too, and their fries are awesome.
The Cheesecake Factory is a favorite, except the waitstaff tends to be snooty to me. Oh well, I tip nicely anyway, since they do their job and the food is good. Too bad there aren't any around here.
As far as hometown places, I like Titletown Brewery. They serve very yummy food in an old/former train station. Kroll's is also very good. They both are comfort food places, WI style.
For pizza I like Papa Murphy's take and bake pizzas.
Oh, and fast food would be Taco Bell. Though I notice the food can be really good at some places and kind of nasty at other places. One good thing about LI was they had good Taco Bells (which I craved when pregnant). The one in Santa Clara was good, too. Here they are nasty, though.
Dislikes: Wendy's and McDonald's.
