Mo's fine food is a darkened interior with a bar, and dark inexpensive wood, with the stain starting to chip off the tables. The place has a large menu with everything from Pizza, Pasta and salad to quite a selection of Hamburgers and a Hamburger bar where you can heap on the condiments (though actually I expected there to be more at the burger bar than there was). My biggest complaint is the expense. The burgers are $10 at a minimum and go up from there, and while tasty that is a bit expensive.

This is a restaurant that I most certainly want to try again. Sure the decor is a bit off, and the service was slow, but this place certainly knows flavors! The menu lets you chose Chicken, Beef, Shrimp or Portabella mushrooms in 23 flavors, and you can get them as sandwiches, pizzas, main courses or salads. The food is tasty and enjoyable, and makes me want to try other flavors.

Famous from Coast to Coast, Chili John's is Burbank's oldest restaurant, in a fading white painted brick building, with a U shaped counter and stools that were completely filled, and with a chili serving station in the middle. They give you crackers and you can get your tasty beef chili served in 3 levels of heat (though they must have screwed up my hot because it was not hot at all for me, in fact the yellow peppers on the counter were hotter).

This place is just across a bridge from my father's place in Annapolis, Maryland, and you can get there by car or by boat. It is large and has a restaurant, bar and liquor store, and inside and outside seating, but don't expect anything too fancy, this is quite casual. The food is quite tasty, if not always that healthy (lots of deep fried seafood here), and they are known for their crabs, which you can the blue crabs to crack and eat at your tables (making quite a mess) or they have an excellent soft shell crab sandwich.

Denny's, everywhere, American Diner

Yuck. I can't believe I am even adding this to the list, but my girlfriend insisted she needed Chicken Fried steak this morning to be able to start writing, so I went along, because it is what she wanted. Personally I think Denny's is completely disgusting and should not be ingested by humans.
