With Restaurants Opening Up - Where You Gonna Go First?
shailynn
They never tell you what you need to know.
With restaurants open or soon opening up in many states, and although you may not go to them day 1, where are you craving to go when you finally do make it out?
For me, I haven’t done much take out through all of this but I have from 2 local Italian restaurants so that itch has been scratched, so I’m craving a steak from a local chop house. Somehow they just do it a little better than what I do on my grill.
For chains:
When traveling for work options are at times limited and I stop at Cracker Barrel often, I miss going there. I have one locally but their limited carry out menu is missing several items I usually order.

Then I went to Olive Garden. The parking lot was busy, yet it turned out all the drivers were just there for take out. There were only two or three other tables of people dining in besides myself.
Both places has mini menus cause food choices were limited. Thankfully, what I always get was on both of them.
Then it occurred to me that I would actually like to go to a nearby Tilted Kilt where I have occasionally eaten lunch in the past. Not sure if they would be able to open as a restaurant under the jack boot of the fear mongering governor but that’s where I’d go first if they do open up.
I don't have a good breakfast place near me, so I settle for IHOP which is not bad and prefer it to Deny's - but IHOP decided to close altogether during the pandemic vs doing takeout like most other places.
Today I go out to a local fish house. The place was packed. I think the place was pushing 50% and the outside was overflowing. It's amazing in 10 days, the attitude of everyone has changes. No one is scared anymore and they want to go on with there lives.

But I pulled in with a friend today to see that they were closed. Nobody in the parking lot. But their Facebook page had posted 50 minutes before that they were open, so I was like "wtf" at the moment. Actually sent them a message asking why they're posting that they're open (assuming posts aren't scheduled. I don't think that's a FB thing you can do, but I could be wrong.) when they're actually closed. It was read, but they haven't responded.
