A very wide variety including:
The United States is a melting-pot of cultures, therefore, the cuisine is about the same as any other developed country. Since the US is the birthplace of fast-food, we eat Italian food, Chinese food, French food, Southwestern (Tex-Mex or pseudo-Mexican) food, Greek food, Indian Food, Polynesian food, you name it. It depends on the season, location, or overall mood.
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving every fourth Thursday of November, and turkey and pumpkin pie are two traditional elements in the typical dinner. On Christmas, many of the meats eaten are beef, bison, deer, duck, goose, ham, turkey, fish and shellfish.
Grits and bacon From the outside; think american, think fast food, burgers and deep-fried chicken. From the inside, city cuisine is a highly charged eclectic mix of world cuisine as rich and as varied as the population, cultures, lifestyles and circumstance. There is no stuffiness, if a mix of epicurial cultures and flavours is good and wholesome, it is right. Rural cuisine borrows heavily from the national influences of the early settlers and is modified and added to by the changing community. Relying heavily on local fresh produce, it is wholesome and good. Unfortunately, family economics can emphasise a reliance on cheap tv/burger bar and processed foods that, although flavoursome and quick, and ok in moderation, they are not good as a staple. And that reliance, more than anything, skews the view the rest of the world has of American Cuisine.
Junk food mostly
Edit: Many Americans do eat mostly junk food but that is far from all we eat. There is a large percentage of health concious Americans such as myself. We eat a myriad of foods too extensive to list. If you are asking what our "traditional foods" are this is how i'd answer. The traditional foods of America are probably cheeseburgers and hotdogs. Then we have things like philly cheesesteak and cheesecake. If your looking for another i'd probably say pizza. Anyways hope this was a good answer for you.

Many areas of the United States were settled by immigrants that brought their own culinary history, but were forced to make many changes due to the non-availability of the traditional ingredients. Over time, these evolved into unique cuisines only found in the US. Examples include: the New England boiled dinners and chowders; Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine; dishes in the Texas hill country from both German and Scott (via Kentucky)settlers; two different fares up from Mexico, one in Texas and another on California; and West coast dishes labeled Chinese, because of their origins rather than their ingredients just to name a few. In the last couple of decades, American chefs have been experimenting with fusing traditional methods from both US and international cuisines into entirely new categories of dishes. This, along with the impact of television networks entirely dedicated to cooking has seen major changes in what is purchased in the average US grocery cart and restaurant menus. The "hamburger and hot dog" mentality is loosing its preeminence.
