One place Nate likes to go is Souplantation. It is a soup/salad/bakery buffet restaurant. If you have one in your area, you may want to check it out. www.souplantation.com/locations/fm/
He usually eats mac & cheese, plain rotini, eggs, cheese, sourdough bread, biscuits, broccoli, and sunflower seeds when we go. They also have fresh spinach and baked potatoes w/all the fixings. Sometimes I'll pull chunks of chicken for him from their chicken soup, which is delicious.
I have not checked, since he prefers the sourdough, but they have a cheese focaccia bread (essentially cheese pizza w/no sauce) that may be OK.
I like this place because it has plenty of options for him. He gets excited that he can choose his own food. I think the only disappointment for him here is that their sugar free desserts (Dreyer's chocolate ice cream and vanilla mousse/pudding) are made with Splenda. When he has really craved dessert in the past, I have mixed artificial sweetener with cottage cheese as a substitute, but he is usually ok without it.
Another similar experience has been at Hometown Buffet. He eats their chicken and mac n' cheese or eggs and oatmeal when it's breakfast. The bonus there has been that the sugar free vanilla soft serve is OK for him.
