Here are a couple of sites that we liked. These are not fancy restaurant
guides.

We lived in our RV for 9 years ant traveled all over North America. The
Sterns from the Road Food site had a couple a book called "Eat Your Way
Across the USA" and it featured the kind of homey places where you could
get a good meal for a small price. We tried all kinds of places
including a couple of places in "not so nice" neighborhoods where we
were definitely identifiable as tourists. Got to taste some awesome
regional food, though.
