Whenever my wife and I are going Miami to the Keys, we always stop in at the Pollo Tropicale near the Miami Zoo. Yes, it's just a fast food restaurant. But their grilled chicken is soooo good! Lean, not greasy, low on salt and big on flavor.
Our other favorite fast food chain is a small (and declining) one out of Michigan called Olga's Kitchen. It's sort of Greek but not entirely. And their freshly-made pita bread is wonderful. Put anything on it and you've got a great sandwich.
Another informal type of restaurant we like is the "Mongolian barbecue" type. I know there are some in Orlando, but it would be nice to have one handier.
We also wish that Jet's Pizza would come to town. They're another Michigan-based chain that are now as far south as North Carolina. What makes them special is their thick, crunchy & chewy crust.
A step up from those would be Sticky Fingers or Smokey Bones. Both are rib joints and quite enjoyable but both seem to be closing rather than opening restaurants.
For better dining, I'd have to agree on Legal Seafood. We've always enjoyed those whenever we're in the Boston area.
