American Fast Food and Restaurants in the UK

The atomic fries are good, and the chicken strips at Ed's but the burger is disgusting. Horrible frozen patty.

Best diner type place in the UK has to be Woodies, they have a "no kids" balcony, do amazing milkshakes and Sundaes, their burgers are to die for and they sell Jones soda!

Byron in london also do a great burger and a great icecream milkshake.

The silver cup is called the "sidecar"

There are definitely more Auntie Ann's than just those two in London, I had one when I was visiting my BF.  I was surprised to see that there was a stand in the Royal Victoria Shopping Centre in Tunbridge Wells.  He suggested we get some pretzels for a snack and I had no idea what to expect but was pleased to see that he was talking about the old treat from my childhood when I would go to the mall with my grandmother.  

I don't eat McDonald's (the last time I had a milkshake there I threw up and the fries taste gross and chemically to me now, yech) or Wendy's, etc or Krispy Kreme (way too cloyingly sweet) but am glad about Chipotle!  Mmmm, delicious.  And I heard somewhere that the tortillas and rice are whole grains in the UK?  Even better!  I also got unnaturally excited when my Starbucks card worked at the ones in the UK and I got my soy for free, like normal, and "stars" toward my gold card free drinks. 

Ruby Tuesdays just opened in Cardiff.

(I always get sad reading all the London posts about fun places to eat.  I'd kill for some real Mexican, even if I had to cross town for it.)

OMG Ruby Tuesday's!  Oh please I'd love it if they open more.  

ETA: Can't find out where but various newspaper articles online say they're planning four more locations this year!

ETA: http://www.rubytuesday.com/franchise/intl-list  lists all their non continental US locations, including the Cardiff one.

but am glad about Chipotle!  Mmmm, delicious.  And I heard somewhere that the tortillas and rice are whole grains in the UK? 

The tortillas seem to be (and they are not as good IMO) and there are two choices of rice - white or brown. 

I miss (and dream about sometimes) TCBY, and aways get a container of frozen yogurt larger than my skull when I fly through Atlanta airport.

Ohhhhh.....  white chocolate mousse.  Mmmmm.....  with sprinkles.  Mmmmm!
