We are English and like burgers, ribs etc what disney restaurants would you suggest?( without offending anybody we see this as American food and like to eat it in the U.S)
Sci Fi Dine In has great burgers and malts in a 1950s drive in setting (few of these theatres exist anymore, but they were once a standard peice of Americana). Go for lunch and make reservations. Don't stray too far away from the burgers and malts - the dinner menu is apparently not great.
For burgers and fries at Epcot, check out Liberty Inn at the American pavillion in Epcot. While in the American pavillion you should check out the Funnel Cake stand (which is a Philadelphia area thing) for dessert.
Over at Magic Kingdom, head over to Cosmic Rays. Great counter service featuring all of the burgers you can eat with a great fixins bar (cheese, pickles, onions, etc...). You might also want to try Caseys at the corner on Mainstreet. Great 1/4 pound hotdogs with saurkraut, cheese, etc for toppings.

IMHO, the best burgers at WDW are at the Beach Club Hotel's restaurant, Beaches and Cream. But it is a tiny little place and extremely crowded. If you wanna try it, do it on a day you're in Epcot's World showcase and walk or take the boat from the International Gateway (between England and France) during an off-time for eating.
Another really good place for burgers is at Good's to Go at Key West, and you can sit outside by the water (actually, that's the only place you can sit, it's a to-go kinda thing.) They have onion rings, too.
Pecos Bill's in the MK (Frontierland) has good burgers, and you can get extra stuff like fried onions or mushrooms that I haven't seen at Cosmic Ray's.
Very yummy ribs are served at the Hoop-Dee-Doo dinner show, as well as fried chicken, corn, baked beans, and strawberry shortcake--can't get much more American than that! Whispering Canyon Cafe in the Wilderness Lodge (which can be a lot of fun) has ribs and other American stuff. You can order family-style or per person.
the sci-fi is also good for ribs (basted in coca-cola... can you get more american than that??? )
Also... as stated above WCC (whispering canyon cafe at the wilderness lodge) or even hoop-de-do review will get you both down-home dinner and entertainment...
House of Blues at DTD has excellent burgers, ribs and chicken. Very good.
Big River Grille & Brewing Works on the Boardwalk had excellent (and very large) burgers. For classic American "Comfort Food" I'd try the 50s Prime Time Cafe at MGM. WCC has already been mentioned - I agree with that 100%
I must be the only one who didn't LOVE Beaches and Cream's burgers. Too greasy for me. Ice Cream was good. Maybe I hit them on a bad day.
I'm also not sure Cosmic Ray's or Pecos Bill's burgers are a good representation. No CS has "good" burgers at WDW. Edible, yes. Compared to McDonald's, maybe..

You and me both. B&C was a disappointment to us - and I wasn't expecting much because I'd been warned. Burgers were a step above WDW counter service, but certainly not in the top 10 burgers I've ever had. And the ice cream was only OK (we liked Ghiradelli's better - and even that was not as good as the small batch creameries near home).
And I agree with CS, though I think it depends on what the OP wants. If you want a fast food type burger, WDW has some good ones. If you want a real burger, you'll need to go to a sit down restaurant.
