Duffy's Subs adds a unique twist to the fare of Philadelphia by splashing its lengthy subs with creative ingredients and parading them out to patrons at counter seats, an outdoor patio, or via local delivery. Philly cheesesteaks—bundled with either sizzling slices of beef or chicken—silence appetites or overly talkative friends with a choice of cheese, grilled mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. Not content with merely tapping Philly's flavors, staffers also convert other classic dishes into sandwich form to produce specialties such as the ham-omelet and bacon-cheeseburger subs.

At Eastside Bistro, nestled within the Fashion Square Mall, an expert culinary team crafts gourmet burgers, flatbreads, and steaks. In the kitchen, wings receive a slathering in one of eight sauces before diners chow down on them along with barbecue pulled pork sliders and pesto burgers. Shrimp stuffed with lump crab meat sates the stomach as flat-screen televisions and a billiards table appease the eyes of diners situated indoors, while an outdoor seating area accommodates those who prefer free-range oxygen. Eastside Bistro pumps up their pub fare with live music every Friday and Saturday, and its catering department preps massive platters for onsite or offsite events and luncheons.

Beef 'O' Brady’s caters to families and sports fans alike with fresh-grilled eats and draft beers served in a casual dining space featuring wood-paneled walls adorned with sports memorabilia and comfy booth seating. The menu warms stomachs small and large with a collection of Black Angus burgers, 15-inch pizzas baked on a stone hearth, and signature wings served baked or grilled in a variety of two dry rubs and 12 sauces. Twenty-one high-definition TVs continually broadcast live sporting events such as NFL Sunday ticket games indoors while diners can opt to enjoy a meal on the outdoor dining patio. The restaurant also features a private back room for large groups and special events.

Cafe Annie set up shop in 1988, and its staff has dished out authentic Lebanese and Greek cuisine for lunch and dinner ever since. Its cafeteria-style lunch option makes it a popular destination for diners with limited time or an unlimited appetite to recreate the scene from Saved by the Bell where Mr. Belding dines at the popular kids' table. For dinner, the kitchen team whips up dishes such as dijon-mustard-seasoned lamb chops, falafel platters, and chicken-curry soup. Cafe Annie's hospitality is an integral ingredient in its recipe for customer happiness, and its location in downtown Orlando boasts proximity to many exciting pastimes.

Inside Tenders, diners happily gnaw on halal chicken wings slathered in 1 of 14 sauces. Adventurous diners, and sometimes the very foolish ones, attempt the wing challenge, which pits heat-resistant tongues against impossibly spicy wings without the aid of a napkin, drink, or fire hose. It’s such a daunting task that challengers must sign a waiver before starting. For those not attempting the wing challenge, the restaurant serves juicy wings covered in sauces like chipotle lime, curry mustard, or sweet ‘n’ sour.

When bartender Larry Raikes moved from Buffalo, New York, to Jacksonville, Florida, in 1982, he couldn't find a single sub—so he stopped mixing drinks and started making his own sandwiches. From that single sub shop, Larry's Giant Subs has mushroomed into an international fount of sandwiches. For each order, sandwich-makers pair provolone cheese with black Angus USDA–choice extra-lean roast beef, 98% fat-free ham, or other meats displayed in a 6-foot deli case. They also pile slices of all-natural, charcoal-grilled chicken breasts onto their signature bread, which is shipped in daily from Costanzo's Bakery in Buffalo.

Inside the shop, a huge statue of King Kong—the shop's mascot—towers over guests, secretly helping young diners to make their sandwich selection in exchange for bananas, and New York–theme memorabilia serves to remind them of their subs' heritage. For hosts and hostesses supplying their own ambiance, Larry's Giant Subs caters platters, 3-foot subs, and 6-footers that feed up to 30 people.
