Anyone else not a big fan of restaurants?

Driving, parking, loud, crowd, expensive, food often just meh. I’m always happy when I get to leave, go home, and do what I want!

I think COVID made us stop and realize just how restaurants were - and when we went back....

Maybe that''s why some are closing now even after the panic has died down.

And then there is the expensive minimum wage.
There are a few that hit the mark these days. I am fortunate that there are some good Mexican and Italian places in town. That’s mostly what I eat.

@YourMomsSecretCrush Mexican is a good bet.

Agree with you, it’s becoming rare to actually have a delicious meal out, and the prices!
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@Jeephikelove Sounds cliche too, but the food isn’t cooked “with love.” Smaller ethnic restaurants are a better bet.

@Bumbles 100%

I'm right with you, Eat n Park places their silverware on the table that gets to my OCD.

@SW-User how so?

@Bumbles The silverware touches the table.

I used to like eating out, but now if I am in the mood for fast food, I'll just order from home and have it delivered.
More careful how often and where I go for these reasons .. I have kitchen skills and like the feel of a heavier wallet in my left hip pocket

@BrandNewMan Food tastes better when you make it.

I rarely ever go to a restaurant but when I do, I want some really good food and nice atmosphere.

The diners are usually loud and the food is so-so
But I do like going to bigger restaurants with better food and wine 🍷

I spent many years working in restaurants. I don't eat in them.

I really don’t like going or doing anything. I like home
There's only a few I like to visit these days. Mostly local so dont have to drive

@V00doo I prefer closer and mom n’ pop ethnic. Spent $425 last night on a “fancy” birthday dinner and reeling from it, lol.
@Bumbles Ah shit :/

I'm not...I can't remember the the last time I ordered cheeseburger that I didn't have to rebuild.
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@Azlotto way to messy…for sure.

And don't forget the waiting in line for a seat.

@CrazyMusicLover Here restaurants that do that have personnel at the entrance and/or a sign expressly telling you to wait there. Otherwise the default etiquette is to sit at will.

Considering that we're arguably the top or second to top country to be pedantic about this sort of formalities, I'm guessing it could be the "etiquette" at most only in France? 🥴

@Elessar Yes 😂 You guessed right.
