Depends on the mood and if in familiar places..

At Big Island having been there a bunch, we frequent specialty local places all the time..

At Disney World with my young family.. we want food fast.. so Golden Corral (I know what am I thinking, but its convenient and unbelievably cheap for what they offer), Sizzlers, or Ponderosa.. if we aren't doing a $100 plus sit down meal onsite at the theme parks..

We just want to eat, go home, sleep.. and get up for next day's excitement..
