Recommended places to eat in US

Ok it's not like fast food is going to be great but it can be convenient. Of the myriad of options is there some better ones to go to or look out for while on the road from LA thru to Colorado?

I always like Olive Garden, the food is cheap and not violating to your body

Fuddruckers is also another favorite of mine :D

You taking the 15 to the 70?

[chunky]

For a part yes. We are detouring into Bryce and Zion.

Nice graemlins/snow_cool.gif Might be a bit cool to walk up the narrows in Zion tho ;)

[chunky]

Yeah probably too icy but our main aim is to the short snow hikes in Bryce.

Chunky, you must stop at the little truck stops or little cafe's they are a blast from the past down south in Utah. +1 and I love them, we are always looking out for the different ones, but don't ask me to name them, as I only remember the last meal!

The big breakfasts are great - you will see all the locals going in for them!

Any of the Dennys restaurants will serve you well.

[TB]

Cheesecake factory-yeah it sells food.

Sorry I only put this up as a any port in a storm activity.

Stayed SLC suburbs-Food appalling, that included those ones they all gush about and I lined up for. You cannot get an awesome meal in SLC.

Jackson-Teton Village and town, some good food, bookings way in advance essential but the few we managed were good.

San F-same as above,

I advise you book in advance

we did the drive from LA to Breckinridge (and back) a few years ago, absolutley loved it, we went through Zion on the advice from some young dude at a truckstop (as per skijacski's advise truckstops are the go). I remember chillin in a spa with a dozen tall boy cans looking up the very nice view of the canyon/valley (what ever you call it)at zion, awsome.

Oh, and one other fast food place was taco bell, i smashed heaps of their tacos while i was there, but funny enough have tried them since that trip (here in Aust i think) and it didnt do much for me??

Denny's :D

[Vet]

Dennys and Chillies and Red Lobster and Cheesecake Factory.

[ausi ski bum]

Denny's is horrible, fat with fat and a side order of fat. Take a look at their web site, its frightning.

The US Sizzlers are pretty good. I also found some excellent places on the water front of Long Beach, a nice place was in a light house opposite the Queen Mary.

[AndDee]

Denny's is not that bad!
Red Lobster is great
Cheesecake factory is great too

[karen97]

I liked IHOP better than Denny's for breakfast, can't comment on their normal menu tho
