The Burger King in POP sucks $10 for a double whopper / cheese. Not even close to the American Burger King. I hear there is a Pizza Hut in Playa Dorado that serves a great Supreme.

Here in Santiago we have Burger King, McD's, KFC, Pizza Hut and Dominoes. Unfortunately it's just not quite as good as back home, it really is inferior - even the McD french fries.
If you have to eat some American food here I suppose the pizza is ok - but if you trying to save yourself from the runs, forget it as I still got the runs the first time I came here. Now that I'm "adjusted" it's no sweat really. Besides there are many good private, cheap clinics that will get you're gut back in order in no time.
I would highly recommend eating the local food at a nice restaurant. It is very healthy and prepared fresh daily and quite tasty. In fact, when we used to live in Orlando I used to take people(ie gringos) from work over to a couple of Dominican restaurants I knew and it wasn't long before they were "converted".
This isn't to say that you can't find a good burger here in the DR, yes you can. In fact in the Hotel Jaragua in Santo Domingo the have one of the best Angus burger I have ever had. However, a lot of other places just aren't up to par. If you really need to eat a good burger just go to the local Supermarket and but the fattiest(usually cheapest) hamburger meat you can find and make it at your apartment. The meat here is usually VERY lean and if make a hamburger with this type it will come out tasting like cardboard.

don't advice this dude healthy freshly made dominican food coz it's clearly NOT what he is looking for (god, i hope he is not a she...).
ok, lets presume one loves this crap food - after all i love fast food too, as long as it is NOT american chain thing (i burp with plastic for two days after a visit in burger king)...
so: garyc, try something else. in POP d?ngelo close to coraaplata sells ok burgers and hotdogs, some street vendors are not too bad either. pizza in portofino is better than the one from pizza hut.
let's make this thread positive, where in DR can one get the best of the worst food?

a few years ago we went into Sam's Bar in POP with a woman from New Zealand. They had 'chips, cheese n gravy' on the menu! Even in England a lot of people have never eaten such a 'northern delicacy'! We ordered some for our New Zealand guest 
They also had liver, bacon & mash on the menu, which someone else from the group ate, which reminded him of home.
I probably had chicken, rice & beans
