I have 3 answers. Good Chinese is hard to find here. Some have mentioned PF Chang. I'd love it but that is probably a bit pricey for our area. However there sister could be a great option. The food is similar but less expensive. Why? You order at the counter and pay up front. Then the wait staff takes over and delivers and takes care of your needs. A real good option.

Pizza. One of the hottest new concepts here is a build your own deal similar to Subway. Like subway - you touch nothing. Go to the order spot. Choose a crust - thin or thicker, white or wheat. Then they load it for you. Every meat and veggie choice you can imagine. They will load all that you want them to. And as much Mozzarella and 4 other cheese that you like. Then it goes into to a 800 degree wood burning oven while you pay. 3 minutes later it is in your hands. The price is unreal and the best part. A 9" pie that is delicious costs $8 to $9 each. Or a cheese only for $5 or 1 topping for $6. There are now 4 to 5 groups out there jumping in the ring. The California Pizza guys are coming out of retirement and are quite excited they say. I have enjoyed "Blaze Pizza" and do love it. I walk away wondering "How Can They Do This For the Low Price"??


Mexican. I once lived in Austin Texas. The Birthplace of Chuy's Tex-Mex. It is a chain but a really good one. All company owned and they now have 50+. Five now in Florida. Gainesville, Tampa, & Orlando (3). A real fun place with a varied, (somewhat) authentic Menu. Priced real fairly and what a Happy Hour. M-F 4 to 7. Discounted drinks and a free nacho bar including Taco Meat, Refried Beans, Queso Cheese Sauce, Chips and Salsa. Free all you can eat from 4 to 7. Think The Villagers Would love this place.
