Oh my God I love to watch her! She is such a riot! I bet her food is awsome. We have a place here called Bob Chin's Crab House, he's famous for his Mai Tai's as well. Actually where we live there's quite a few really good places.

We like the Ninety Nine. I like their boneless buffalo wings.

[Sandy]

i can honestly say i've never heard of ninety-nine.

[firefly]

There is a restaurant here named Jazz that is divine. My husband isn't too fond of it though so I don't get to go there often. Mostly when he really screws up or really wants something. :gs

[Krazi0469]

I love any restaurant that has Seafood in it and is cheap and good

[pastryman]

we've got a place here called HY's steak house....the best steak and lobster i have ever eaten in my life, the meat just melts in your mouth a little expensive but well worth it. I go there alot with my buddies when we guys night out which is almost twice a month

[kissiemybuttie]

99 is good too....they dont have them here down south though....

[learman3]

When I was in London for work about five years ago. We eat in an old English pub. There was one dish I order a couple of times, had bangers and lamb and some other meat I can not remember now. Was good though.



Yes we have a country pub. log fires, and pure english food, all homemade.

When you go out to eat, what do you say is acceptable and unacceptable service? Do you let the server know that they did a good job by letting their manager know, tip better or just go on your way? When do you let them know that the service was unacceptable. Do you tell them or do you ask for the manager?

[Cotties]

I'm lucky... In Australia we never really tip... never ...if the service sucks you know never to go back there...

In Thailand only tourists are expected to tip{suckers}.. but in some restaurants they do bend over backwards and I'll always tip a women who can do that for me. I also earn a lot more than they do so its easy for me to leave a few dollars behind...

as for telling the manager...I only do if I need to complain.. but I haven't complained in a long time... I bet that was of little use to you

[Norfolkdave]

When chris and I go out we rarely tip anymore, the service of some places is poor, but we mainly go to our local pub where we are friendly with the landlord, and the food and service is better than a posh hotel, we know the waitresses, so when they are off duty we normally buy them a drink

[MCat]

Tipping for good service is important to me. The servers are only paid a couple bucks an hour and then get to keep their tips. A good server can make a bundle off tips. We try to leave 15% if we get good service.

I think good service is when they take your order in a timely fashion, bring your food while it's still hot, refill the coffee or drinks before you empty the glass. And ask if there is anything else they can get for you just before you are finished.

I hate when they keep coming back 16 times while I'm chewing to ask if everything is ok. One time after being asked so many times I said " Would I still be chewing if it wasn't ok???"

I fill out the complaint cards if we have an unusually bad experience. If I complained verbally I may say something I would regret....

[Annie]

Perhaps if it was like the steak I had last night.... Hell I'm still chewing that!

[Shiane]

Do I complain? Yes I do. The reason being, in my job. being part of management I have to deal with customer complaints, my employer demands almost perfect customer satisfaction. Each month we get a summary of the customer service survey reports. It's on a scale of 1-5, they demand a 4.85% or better. If a family has a complaint it is my job to rectify the problem immediately if possible. Granted we do realize there are some people who you will never satisfy, but the effort has to be made to do everything possible to please. Maybe it stems from me personally having to deal with complaints, but you can't fix a problem that you don't know exist. Most businesses would like to know if they have a problem. Several of you said if you get bad service, you just don't go back. From a managerial standpoint it would be better to know about the problem, if possible, fix it before you lose a customer to a competing business. If you get bad service and you tell 10 people, and those people tell 10 people, that business has just lost 100 potential customers. Word of mouth is either the best or the worst advertising that a business can get.

I know a lot of people who will not complain because they are afraid that they might hurt someones feelings or get someone fired. Well it is strictly business, you are a consumer, you are paying hard earned money for a service or a product. If the service or product is not satisfactory you should complain. Complaining about the service or the product does not make you a bad person. If it is so busy that the person waiting on you can't keep up, then complaining might steer the business to hire more people so the service is improved.

You don't have to be an ass about it, just be honest and stick to the issues, don't let your emotions get the best of you. If I get excellent service, I ask for the manager and I tell them that I was very pleased. They are just like everyone else, if you are doing a great job it is nice to know that your effort is noticed! Anyhoo just my opinion.

How I tip
20-25% for above and beyond
15% for very good service
10% for fair sevice
no tip for bad service

remember it is business, it's not personal!

[tiger50]

well as cotties said, in this country we dont tip, but they are paid much better here...

I totaly agree with your percentages... except the last. I was a waitress for a number of years. Leaving no tip could mean you forgot. I leave a nickle... that way there is no doubt.

[Shiane]

Yep I agree with you on that! I was a waitress too many years ago, if you want a tip you gotta work for it!:55

This is how we tip when we eat out. However when the wifey step father goes with us, we usually get a free meal if the service was bad, he has no shame at all.

[Sandy]

i agree with shiane, if its bad service report it. thge manager needs to know, only way to fix a problem.



if its good we tip them really good.

[Shiane]

I feel no shame at all for complaining, it's business.... nothing more.

[kjguy43]

I agree, but there are times, he goes a bit overboard...I guess its all good in the end, we all get free meals...and if it's free..it's for me.

[GeekMaster]

I agree with you totally Shiane!! :kk The only difference I do, is if the service is lousy, I leave a penny in a very noticable place on the table. That way, the server knows it is for bad service, and not that I am just "cheap" by not leaving any tip. Talked to a few waitresses, and they told me the penny sends the message very clearly.

I worked in a retail service industry (Auto Repair), for 28 years, and know all about "Customer Satisfaction", so I am not too tolerant when places do not provide the same, or offer lame and stupid reasons why I should be happy with their products or services.

:spbx:

I have never NOT tipped ... but I do point out early in the process that i am not enjoying my meal and would like either the attitude or person changed.

A penny does send a message... both good and bad. When left alone it means you are not happy. However, if you leave a single penny with paper money it means outstanding service... above and beyond what was expected.

Just throwing this in. My 16 year old neice started working for Pizza hut about 4 months ago. A few months back she was saying that Pizza Hut will no longer pay minimum wage, they will pay $2.00/hr the rest should be made up in tips. Another friend has a brother who is a waiter, after all is said and done, and after all the taxes are taken, he makes a whopping 0.85 cents/hr. I personally think they should make at least minimum wage plus tips. I went to one resturant and they had a sign, no tipping required or expected, we pay our employees well. I got fantastic service from that resturant!

[Sandy]

i agree shiane, here at applebee's the get 2.15 an hour thats it.

[Penny]

20 % all the time, They have to eat too

well said Shiane....and if the food is not up to par,we let the server know ,but we don't blame them for it.....

i have a problem with My Tattoo place,its $120 a hour ,then they have a sign that reccomends you tip 15-20 %...the problem is if the tattoo take 3 sessions,they want a tip each time.....

[Cotties]

I'll tell you Shiane I strongly agree. Why should they earn below minimum wage. Pay them a decent wage and get a decent manager. I've been to a few western countries and when the waiter/waitress needs to work for tips I hate them being in my face.. Bring me my food and get away from me is all I want. If I want anything else I'll call you over.. Some of these waiter become bitchy and aggravated when they start expecting things... Just do your job like you should without expecting nothing in return... I've left decent tips sometimes and still recieved dirty looks while walking out the door because they thought I could have given more...arseholesI went to one resturant and they had a sign, no tipping required or expected, we pay our employees well.

I think that happens a lot when you have sales people working on commission too. I can always tell when ever I go to a store when the sales staff gets paid according to how much they sell. It's like they follow you around... leave me alone! I'm just LOOKING!

[Trev]

I can relate to the sales commission. Most places like that pay in the $1.50 per hour range and the rest is commission. It's then your incentive to stay with that person until they either purchase something or leave the store. If you know the person is not going to buy something then you want them out as fast as possible so you can get back in line to get to another customer.

[sex_kitten_4u]

if the service is real bad i complain , sometimes the manager is not there so in that case i phone the head office of the establishment and speak to customer services and let then know

[Dsparate Hswife]

Gotcha! You thought it would be about something else!...:lmao
Really...What is your favorite restaurant? Do you prefer to go to a chain restaurant or something locally owned? How often do you eat out?

[Penny]

I like the 99 and Fridays

[Parkergrey]

Lately we eat out at the ballpark all the time it seems - I have a daughter in little league. I'm getting tired of it though. I like Outback Steakhouse for a chain - great steak and they have Foster's on tap! We have a local sports bar we like to go to when we can get a sitter - maybe once a month. My wife loves thier barbecue sauce. When its not baseball season, my wife insists on eating out at least once a week but its probably twice a week on average.

[Cotties]

yes you did catch me out....


but I eat out everyday............the benefits of not having kids. I know people gasp when they hear no kids but there really are a few advantages

[peaches]

first choice is a steak house...but love to try new places...the one i rarely go to is italian resturants,,,not as good as mine............

[jake8675]

I travel all the time to military bases, but as far as chains go I like the Texas Roadhouse and Bob Evans for breakfast. I hate Cracker Barrel, I can't believe how long people will wait in line for that place, and then when your waiting you are constantly in the way of someone trying to buy some grape jelly, a candle, or something

[Crawfish]

I eat at the Y as much as I can.

[Big O]

We don't go out as much as I would like to because I go to bed so early for my job, but when we do I enjoy

Outback steaks
Carrabba's Italian
Crabby Dicks seafood
Carini's Local pizza place

We have the ability to take our boat down the river for a nice evening cruise and dinner in Ft Lauderdale. When we do I enjoy Shirt tail Charlies. Basicaly they have a great dock to tie up to and great drinks with good bar food and music.

[Milk]

we most often go to local southeast asian restaurants. thai or vietmanese, or cambodian on the rare occassions when that is available to us. eat out about 1 time a week, and try to keep the cost down when we do.

[unctarheel_32]

I personally like the ruby tuesday steakhouse,but is so expensive dont get a chance to eat there alot

[Kissie]

I cant wait to go home to visit...I want to go to Micheal's It is an authentic Greek restaurant.

[p.J]

Thai, has to be Thai, however, went to a Lebanese restaurant last night in London... the food was bloody delicious!

Example:

Fatayer (Lebanese pastry stuffed with spinach and lemon juice)
Sambousek Bil Lahem (Lebanese pastry stuffed with minced lamb and pine nuts)
Kibbeh Maklieh (Lamb and cracked wheat stuffed with mince meat and pine nuts)
Falafel (Mixture of dried beans with spice deep fried)
Tabbouleh (Flat parsley, cracked wheat and tomato with lemon juice)
Houmous (Mashed chick peas with tahina and lemon juice)

Main Course
Lahmeh Meshwi, Kofta Meshwi,Dajaj Meshwi Wa Riz Bil Zaafaran
(A selection of lamb, Kofta and Chicken kebab served on a bed of saffron rice)


Dessert
Baklawa (Arabic Sweets)
Qahwa (Lebanese Coffee)

[Artius]

Prefer local fresh made dishes, have a restaurant in the area,northern italian, that only opens 4 times a week. They email out the dinner selection the day of. Soooo good! Gets the misses in a very tempting mood.

[UltimateNaneki]

I like Red Lobster.

[spare_change]

If you ain't had Famous Dave's BBQ, you haven't eaten !

[MCat]

If you ain't had Famous Dave's BBQ, you haven't eaten !

We were just there 2 Saturdays ago.....you are so right, it was wonderful and we can't wait to go back.

I thought that was you across the room...:wa:

[DoratheExplorer]

I love Alaskan king crab so anyone who has it, I'm there. Joe's Crab Shack comes to mind.

I rarely eat out in NYC after seeing the Taco Bell rat video. I know rats are a fact of life but I don't need to know about them hanging out in restaurant kitchens. Mice and roaches are bad enough...

[Sunfiresix]

T.J Fridays--once a year--I love thier big burgers.

[cherokeered]

Red Lobster

Perkins
TGI Fridays
Ruby Tuesdays
Burger King
Chinese Buffet
Old country buffet
Cheeseburger in Paradise
chilis
Houlihans
Olive Garden
Miami Grill
Applebees
Love diners.....and any seafood restaurant

[BobbyDigital]

Outback!

[OICurready4me]

For the chains, I'm a fan of:


Texas Roadhouse for steaks and ribs
Carabba's for Italian
On the Border for Mexican
Cheesecake Factory for a good selection of alot of different tastes


Locally or non chains...

House of Wu for chinese....I love chinese food and have found no better of the 50 or so chinese restaurants I've eaten at plus the scorpion bowls are great

Pagliarini's for pizza. Great little family pizza place, haven't had anything less than a fantastic pizza from here.

Spain for (obviously) Spanish food.

Mr. Taco for Mexican

Pumpernickels Restaurant for German food in Lake George, NY. Place is great, a must if your in that area. They also have this HUGE Black forest cuckoo clock that you have to see http://www.pumpernickels.com/

[missgrace]

mmmm i love cooking.. so.. we eat at home mostly

[ck]

At the "Y"

[vdub]

I like texas roadhouse and tgif

[sasha]

i love seafood places and mexican food

[sasha]

also pizza's, subs, steakhouses..but seafood is still my favorite..like crab legs...yummmy

[bryan3636]

I do all the cooking (did you catch that ladies?) so I love to eat in.
But love to go out when the mood strikes and be pampered!

[AffableOne]

Stir Crazy

The Melting Pot

Cheesecake Factory

Gino's East Pizza (Chicago Deep Dish, baby!!!)

[msbnee]

Applebees Bourbon Street Steak! Also any Mexican restaurant.

[Blue Skies]

Chains are fine for a quick bite... but if you want really good food... go local... a place that serves fresh seasonal food & changes their menu a least a couple times a year. Oh... AND has a great wine list!!!

[rickingeorgia]

There's a good Italian place near here we like to eat at often. But some chains do have some great signature food.

[RedVixen]

going out: Red Lobster
but I also love Outback Steakhouse....what can I say, I'm a meat & potatoes gal :)

I love cooking especially on the BBQ - but if I want a day off we'll all go out and I get a bit of a break.

[springs]

I've been to this place in Seattle called The Salmon House. Fire smoked, Alaskan King Salmon...never have had anything like it since.

[flirtyCoach]

I eat out around 2x a month ( I prefer to eat out at home ;) ). I like Brazilian grills. Great food!

[aviatorspirit69]

Gotcha! You thought it would be about something else!...:lmao

Really...What is your favorite restaurant? Do you prefer to go to a chain restaurant or something locally owned? How often do you eat out?

Yeah you got me.....one track mind here......As far as restaurants go though....I would have to say mediterranean

[Operator Bob]

I am livin' in Toledo at the moment (I know -> I'm sorry to hear that) but I found a great local sushi restaurant. Other than sushi, I look for seafood places.

I had the big cut of prime rib at the Outback last night. rare... and boy wasit ever good! (we all shared a chocolate thunder from down under for desert)

[BadenLink]

The local Mexican Rest is always good for me. I really like Carraba's. I always enjoy when visiting another city to eat a good local place that I can't get a home.

[w9kw]

ahhh still trying places in Tulsa, i go for steak houses and bar b que, but i really do better at home cooking ribeyes then i can eat out, and as far as that goes i think my brisket is as tender as i have every ate

[cherokeered]

Perkin's


I am a diner fan.....always willing to try one

Red Lobster

Ruby Tuesdays

Have you ever tried Shiloh's? It's right off the BA on 51st & 129th exit. Gosh I love that place. Home made rolls and strawberry rhubarb concoction mmmmmmm. Big old slices of home made merguine pies and cinnamon rolls. Yummy stuff this is about a close to home made as you can get. Some of my favorites there are and no most of them aren't heart healthy. Chicken fried steak, beer battered chicken strips, roast beef, meat loaf, club sandwiches, Hawaiian chicken salad with poppyseed dressing, chef salad with home made ranch dressing. Not many resturants have beans and cornbread on their menu lol and yes, their beans are really good.

[onceamarine]

My all time favorite is Big Bubba's Bar BQ in Olathe. I also really like Bone Fish Grill and McCormick and Schmick's.

[mrdiscreet]

Abel's, NE Harbor, Maine. Lobster from DEEP COLD waters, drizzled with drawn butter, and a fat chardonnay. There is nothing sexier in this world than sharing this meal!

[flamengo130]

The Cinegrill in Salt Lake City...best salad in the world, and the lasagna is good too. Same menu for 40 years (but the prices have changed).
A good "just for fun" place is Dick's Last Resort on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. The food all comes in buckets, the napkins are on a roll, none of the chairs match, but the Foster's oilcan is always cold!

[bryan3636]

Longhi's (Maui)....mmmmm, melts in your mouth!!!

[MCat]

Longhi's (Maui)....mmmmm, melts in your mouth!!!

We saw this place when we were on Maui....didn't eat there though...

It was "Taste of Lahaina" that week....
We were at an open air taste testing...after the Luau.

Was the most glorious place...I can still smell the air.

The Melting Pot! The restaurant was good, but my date was awesome!

Classics:
Union Oyster House (Quincy Market area). 1800's, fish galore, great bar, ask if you can eat in JFK's favorite booth. It oozes Boston.
Legal Sea Food. Consistently rated #1

The Fan'l Hall/Quincy Market area is steps from downtown and loaded with bars and restaurants. Get a copy of Boston Magazine and check out the listings. If you want ambience and a view of the city all the way to New Hampshire, try the Top of the Hub on the top of the Prudential Tower. There are perhaps a dozen excellent Italian restaurants in the North End and don't forget about an all-night bakery later!

I've never eaten at the new Ritz Cartlon dining room, but the old one (if it is still open) overlooks the Public Garden.

Charles Street at the foot of Beacon Hill has tons of restaurants and is adjacent to downtown. If you want to go for a walk, head down Newbury Street from Arlington. If don't find something there from Afgan to sandwiches, you are too picky!

Many of us are linked to chain eateries when there is nothing closer or we are eating and running.

I love it when someone from Texas comes up here and they think our Mexican food is terrible.....and they are absolutely correct...after eating authentic mexican food down there! LOL! I once worked with a Mexican woman who gave me an earful about our Mexican food...every time she ate it she had stomach cramps at the job....hilarious...not the cramps...just the fact of the matter.

Almost made it to WV a few months ago on business...if I ever do I'll be asking for restaurant help from you man...

i like this place in atl calle el asteca, great mexixan food

[b_rizz]

i like a place here called thai cuisine

[phantasm]

Any sushi joint that serves nice thick cuts.. MMMmmm!!! I love my raw fish!

[MagicalBeing]

.. lately.. i have been eating too much taco bell.. I just like that Fresco stuff they are putting in there... I just need to run a few extra miles..

[Crawfish]

Commander's Palace and Emeril's in New Orleans. Just two joints that I like to visit. Very expensive though.

[OICurready4me]

Locally we have a restaurant called Spain...one of my fave's...love the Paella and occassionally they have stuffed Veal chops that are out of this world


Also, there is a local partnership that has opened quite a few restaurants, each with a different persona...Pinelli's...I've eaten at a few and have never been disappointed.

One of their chefs left them and opened his own place down the street from my house...Cafe Gianna...excellent Italian food and it is BYOB place also so you don't have to pay $30 for a $10 bottle of wine.


For an Italian chain restaurant, I like Carabba's...

Ribs....Smokey Bones and Memphis Roadhouse

Steaks or Prime Rib...Texas Roadhouse...the prime rib is unreal, you could cut it with a spoon

[hoss]

Any sushi joint that serves nice thick cuts.. MMMmmm!!! I love my raw fish!

[sargethree]

Saltgrass Steak House. If you ever get the chance to eat at one, order the Range Rattlers. It's jalapeno and cheese stuffed shrimp. Awesome!!

[drem]

any place that has good atmosphere and excellent waitresses or waiters

[Jabbuk]

I love Morton's of Chicago. Great steaks, but a bit pricey.

[BadenLink]

Carraba's my personal favorite of major chains...

[Krystal]

McCormick & Schmick's! I was recently in Minneapolis and they had one there. It's a seafood place, about 90% of their menu is fresh caught stuff received that morning. I didn't know they were a chain until I looked them up online....there's one over the bridge in NJ. I can't wait to get there!

I can't afford that every day, lol, so if I had to pick a place that I'm craving right now....I'd have to say Cracker Barrel! LOL Haven't been there in forever....they have the best comfort foods.

Where in NJ???

[Krystal]

Where in NJ???

There's one in NYC, but I hate driving in Manhattan. The next closest to me would be.....Bridgewater, NJ? There's also one in Hackensack....and one down in Cherry Hill. You might find one closer to wherever you are if you look them up.

Here's the link: http://www.mccormickandschmicks.com/

Great place....the food was amazing. Dessert was incredible too. At the one I went to, when I asked for the dessert menu, they brought over a HUGE tray with all the desserts that they had. Not a menu, a tray showing you what everything was....how can you say no to that???

[Sunfiresix]

In Western N. Y. we have a place called The Red Osher--the best prime rib and steaks for miles around hands down the best.

[Krystal]

The Steak Loft in Mystic CT is awesome too. When we drive up there, we stop at the Steak Loft for lunch, before we even check in at our hotel. Then we'll go back that same night for dinner! LOL....great place.
