Americanos has decent food, but poor dinning atmosphere and way too much smoking sitting outside. Only get takeout from there. But SS also has Ay Jalisco, you can take the golf cart to the drive up at Chick-fill-A and get relatively healthy food (grilled nuggets and market salad), and Sakura has excellent takeout sushi. Lake Sumter also has RJ Gators, which isn’t anything special, but has delicious blackened fish with rice and beans and it’s nice sitting outside looking across the lake from Palmer. We wouldn’t eat at Johnny Rockets if the food was free, total garbage, and I didn’t even realize Starbucks had food (thought it was just overpriced Pacific Northwest designer coffee).
True about Ay Jalisco, but that's Western Mexican - not a typical burgers and beer kinda place. Amerikanos food did not impress me the two times I went. Their falafels were raw inside. Also, they have hummus, but they don't have tahini. That tells me their hummus is pre-packaged, not made on site (since you have to have tahini in order to make hummus).

As for Johnny Rockets, a few times a year I'll get a chili cheese dog from them. Hubby likes their milk-shakes.
