Re: The 20 worst (restaurant) foods in America
I found another shit hole yasterday 
Having had a bad experiance at the TA in Bloomsbury NJ last week I decided to stop in PA instead and the Midway diner at exit 16, I-78 came highly recomended
................................. 
NOT SO ! ... I walked in and was right off acosted by the worlds ugliest waitress who sat opposite me at the counter to watch me eat whilst resting her but ugly chin in her weaved together fingers supported by resting her elbows on the counter asking questions such as "Where ya from ?"
"A truck outside"
"Nah ... I mean where from other than that ?"
"New York"
"Nah ... I mean you have an accent, where ya from ?"
"England"
"Yeah ... I love England"
"Have you been there ?"
"No but I have seen Briget Joneses diary"
Then you must know a lot about it"
The waitress sugested Bison steak with fries (chips) and peas and when it came it looked quite nice, the taste on the other hand was far from nice Total crap ! I left half of it, went for a shit in PA's worst toilet then back to my truck to watch a movie and sleep.
Yet another bad diner goes on the list

Glad to be back at work then. Did she watch you have a shit 
You make Fred Dibnah sound like Sir John Betjeman in comparison

Reason #1 why diner's shouldn't hire ugly waitresses. Anybody reckon the review would have come out different if she had been a looker?

Re: The 20 worst (restaurant) foods in America
Yes, for a very short two weeks!
Went to Cheesecake Factory in Palo Alto too - not bad - we certainly could do with a few of these "upper end" chains in Oz. We only have the real bad ones!
We were recommended to go to Ruth's Chris in La Jolla but unfortunately ran out of time - will have to wait until next visit (that is if we ever make it back what with the G(lobal) F(inancial) C(risis) and all!
They just opened a Flemmings in Walnut Creek, haven't had a chance to visit it yet; sounds like I should go! We've also got a Ruth's Chris, and a Cheesecake Factory is about to open. So many restaurants, so little time ... (and I'm on an austerity diet at the moment in honor of the current economy and the likelihood of being laid off soon ...

Re: The 20 worst (restaurant) foods in America
Stayed in a great B&B in Redwood City - Atherton Inn. Whole area around there very nice - in fact we didn't even make it into SF this visit. Shopping at Stanford Mall - great. Main purpose of our visit was to get to The French Laundry in Napa but seems Thomas Keller couldn't fit us in
Apologies to OP - slightly off-track here!

Outback is actually an American restaurant not Australian, their steaks are okay for the price. I lived in Kansas for a year and was deprived of food, but now that I live in California food is what can I say, simply enjoyable.
A lot of people mentioning flank steak, if you have access to a Brazilian restaurant try it. They have a buffet style steak restaurant where they bring different type of steak in your table right of the grill including flank and skirt. WARNING: they serve alligator and rabbit also, the buffet is expensive around 35 per person but worth it.
Crabshack is pretty good for seafood, and the best fast food restaurant El Pollo Loco.
By the way, Roys, Flemings, and Claim Jumper are all owned by same company.
