Skip fast food and eat at real restaurants. Obviously, looking at these answers, Americans eat a lot of fast food, but that's not all American food is.
I'm from the South, so my ideas of American Food is regional, and I know mostly about southern foods. Like Po-Boys, jambalaya, red beans and rice, gumbo.
America really is a "melting pot." A lot of our food takes things from other cultures. Like, Tex Mex and American Mexican food -- which you will find a LOT of in California. The food in the south has a lot of French and Spanish influence.
Get a REAL hamburger. It'll blow the one you had at McDonalds out of the water!
the fries are good but fattining.....so go for mac and cheese from any HEB or where ever...
Meat loaf
steak and potatoes
beef stew
Chicken Fried Steak!!! That is more of a southern dish but you may be able to find it any where in the U.S.
Fried Catfish!!
Hot dogs, apple pie, mac and cheese, meatloaf, steak and baked potatoes, collards, cheesecake, fried chicken, ny style pizza
"American as apple pie" is a pretty common saying... so I recommend a nice warm (homemade) slice with some vanilla ice cream on top!
Enjoy your time in the U.S.!
a Hoagie
Quarter Pounder
Big Mac
Fries
Try some barbeque!
BBQ RIBS and CHICKEN.
fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, cornbread, butterbeans, green beans, squash casserole, biscuits and tomato gravy
and my all time favorite:
PIZZA
Pizza! But try to avoid the chains like Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and so on. Any decent college town has good pizza places. Barbecued ribs are another classic American dish.
A dozen Buffalo Wings and a cold Amber Bock beer followed by a warm slice of home made apple pie with vanilla ice cream. You'll never want bulgogi again!

And when you need a quick lunch to heat up in the microwave or oven, go with Hot Pockets, Kraft macaroni and cheese, mozzarella cheesesticks, jalapeno poppers, or ramen noodles.
Some good places to get treats are Cinnabon, Dairy Queen, Sonic, and look for a good smoothie place!
Some typical sandwiches are grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, turkey, ham, and bbq beef or pork on buns.
Oh and don't depend on McDonald's hamburgers for a good burger. Meet some people to take you to a restaurant for a REAL burger. I can't tell you where to go exactly because I'm not in California, but just ask the locals... they'll tell you!
thought you guys only ate fast food... nothing good about that
If you want good American Food then try a hamburger...but grilled, with some season fries also grilled. dont try McDonalds nor burger king..etc. Go to a local dinner. You love it.!
you should try chicken subs
