First Meal in the USA?
My sweetheart will finally arrive in SFO on an upcoming Thursday, at 8pm. 
I'd like to take her to dinner somewhere that fits the occasion as a memorable "First Meal in the USA".
Of course, not likely to get out of the airport very quickly, making the meal time a bit late.
Budget: Let's say $100 or less for both of us. Still have a wedding to pay for, after all.
Suggestions?@:-)

Just went past it today and remembered how good it is.

And looking at flightaware, we might not have many other options as the flight is occasionally landing after midnight.
Zuni is looking quite tempting, hope we get done at the airport in time.

Double double, fries, and a shake! Can't get much more American than that! Plus after a looong flight, heading straight to a nice sit down dinner might not be ideal. I say get a burger and fries in a casual setting, then do a nice dinner the next night.
I'd also recommend Wayfare Tavern as a solid "first American meal". Split an appetizer, have her get the fried chicken, and with a glass of wine each you'd probably be just over $100.
