Executive Diner Restaurant Hawthorne, NY
A slightly better than average diner, with a broad menu, good portions, and reasonable prices. Located conveniently on Route 9A and open 24 hours. The restaurant seems to have the same management as El Dorado on Rt 119 in Elmsford.
Hardy's Bavaria Sunnyvale, CA
There aren't a lot of German restaurants out there, especially on the west coast, but this is one of the better ones I've been to. The fare consists of huge portions of well-seasoned, expertly-cooked meat. Not recommended for vegetarians. They also have a nice selection of German beers. The decor is understated, and music gives the place a nice ambience. The restaurant is a little hard to find, because the sign has dark lettering on dark wood and hangs above the door so you can't see it from the road.
Eldorado Diner Corp Elmsford, NY
A better-than-adequate diner, El Dorado has a larger menu selection than most diners in the area, and pretty fast service. Open 24 hours.
Oriental Diner Hawthorne, NY
Very aptly named, Oriental Diner serves a very broad selection of Chinese, Thai, and Japanese selections (including sushi). The food is good, though not particularly authentic or distinctive.
Highland Restaurant Ossining, NY
A run of the mill diner with adequate food and atmosphere. Service is pretty prompt. Open late (till 1AM on weekdays, 3PM on Fridays and Saturdays). Seems to be quite the teen hangout.
El Torero Cape Girardeau, MO
El Torero charges very reasonable prices for large portions of quite tasty Mexican food. Pretty authentic, although you might not get the more exotic dishes (e.g. mole).
Great Wall Chinese Restaurant Cape Girardeau, MO
This restaurant seems to be a part of the recent "International Buffet" trend, offering seafood and edible Chinese streetcart food in bulk. Emphasis is decidedly on quantity, not quality. Impressive in its own way.
Lambert's Cafe Sikeston, MO
This place is more of an experience than a restaurant. The entrees are very good (though I think you can find better ribs) but most people come for the atmosphere and experience. This is no Hard Rock Cafe, though -- portions are very large, and you won't come away feeling ripped off.
Jim Bob's Steaks & Ribs Joplin, MO
Some people swear by this place, but I haven't been particularly impressed. The ribs seem more boiled than barbecued, and the steaks are mediocre. The peanut shells on the floor are about the only reason this place is memorable at all.
Kitchen Pass Joplin, MO
With an eclectic menu that can only be called "American", Kitchen Pass serves pretty good meals and has a good selection of drinks.
Wilder's Fine Foods Joplin, MO
Although the name makes it sound more like a grocery store than a restaurant, Wilder's has some good food and a fine bar. Service can be slow (sometimes a problem during lunch).
Old Miners Inn Alba, MO
One of the most amazing restaurants I've ever seen, this place is an aberration -- a five-star French restaurant in a tiny town of a little over 400 people. The food is expensive, but very well prepared, and unlike most French restaurants, portions are large. Desserts are freshly made and a real delight. The place has a very good wine selection, including apertif and dessert wines and ports. The restaurant is decorated with a collection of mining equipment from the old lead mining days in the area. An experience not to be missed!!
Frankie's Wings & Things Cape Canaveral, FL
This place has great buffalo wings (you can specify how spicy you want them) and a good selection of beer. The atmosphere (and the service) is that of a bar. Close to the harbor and to several other bars.
Florida's Seafood Bar & Grill Cocoa Beach, FL
Good seafood in large portions, along with reasonable prices, makes this a very popular place in Cocoa beach. The place has been crowded every time I've been there, understandably affecting the service.
Cocoa Beach Pier Cocoa Beach, FL
Nice location -- I enjoyed watching developing dusk colors and the moon rise over the water while waiting for my food. After a meal that would be charitably described as mediocre, I got to wondering whether I'd get a chance to see the sun rise before I got my check.
Pete's Saloon & Restaurant Elmsford, NY
A nice place to unwind after work, Pete's has a broad selection of beer and drinks. The food, principally steaks and burgers, is certainly adequate. Live entertainment most nights.
Beausejour French Cuisine Sunnyvale, CA
Excellent French food for very reasonable prices. Seems like everything on the menu is pretty good. Save room for dessert. The service seems a bit haughty, but isn't that the way French restaurants are supposed to be?
Buca di Beppo Palo Alto, CA
Good Italian food with great party atmosphere This restaurant is really good for large groups: the portions are all family size so you really can't come here by yourself. The menu is eclectic, with most traditional Italian favorites. The service is sometimes slow, and expect a long wait if you don't make reservations.

Kal's Bar B Sunnyvale, CA
Good, extremely cheap lunch fare. It reminded me a lot of Clark's Burger, but the steaks and burgers are better.You get a good size steak for $8.25. The toppings bar didn'timpress me, though. Serves beer as well.
