We all know Medieval Times, Planet Hollywood and Rainforest Cafe. Each is strong evidence that America loves a restaurant with a theme. Yes, there are the big chains like the aforementioned eateries, but when it comes to the true, kitschy glory of dining room theater, many of the best are either standalone restaurants or just a few regional locations.

　　What makes a themed restaurant? The answer can owe to a unique atmosphere, a firmly focused menu or both. Whether its your goal to make a meal of three courses of chocolate, eat inside a grounded airplane or tempt your medical fate with grossly oversized burgers, these are the spots for you. Take a great American road trip from the Boston suburbs to Los Angeles, all while eating at the best themed restaurants in the U.S.
