Do you usually order the same food when going out to restaurants?

I hate adventuring on food especially if I'll have to pay for it because it would be a waste of everything - the cook's effort to prepare the meal, the waiter's effort to serve me the meal and of course, my money. I always go for spaghetti, carbonara, lasagna or chicken alfredo with garlic and sometimes iced tea or just water. I only try out new food when my friends or family recommend it and I have enough money to pay for it and to pay for another meal in case i can't eat what I ordered.

Most of the time I will try something new. But if there is a restaurant where I have eaten something there that I really, really like I will go back to that restaurant just to get that item. So I will likely not be ordering something different. But most of the time, I will try something new.

When I go out to a restaurant I want to get something I don't get at home. It depends on the restaurant though. When I go to East Side Mario's I pretty much always order the seafood pasta platter. But at other restaurants I will peruse the menu. Unfortunately with my diet limitations I do find myself ordering the same thing much of the time. There is one restaurant that my husband and I frequent for lunch that I will order something different according to what I want at the time. My husband, however, is very predictable. At THAT restaurant he always orders bangers and mash (mashed potatoes and sausages), at other restaurants he always order Fetucinni Alfredo with Italian Sausage.

I do like variety, kiran, but I'm afraid that I am a bit partial to certain dishes. My favorite eat-out foods are chicken fish and Chinese. Once in a while I like to go out for barbecued ribs also. So, yes, I guess I'm more predictable than I thought.

In a way yes, I'm a vegetarian and they usually only have 1 or 2 things on the menu I like! When I get chinese I always get beancurd in black bean sauce with boiled rice! i always get the same veggie pizza. I don't really mind though.

i don't go out to eat very often. When I do though most of the time I order something different. Although there are a few restaurants that I order the same thing every time at. I guess it really all depends on how I am feeling. I mean sometimes I like change and sometimes I don't.

After years of going to so many restaurants and tasting so many varieties i have come to understand the best ones in my city and know what to order in a particular restaurant.So it is almost same in a same restaurant.As I read about new additions and the reviews about them in the week end editions of the local news papers I tend to try the new ones to .If they are good I stick to them and add them to my favorite order.

My husband's just as predictable as your are....but not me. I want to try something new everytime. so, we've come to a compromise....when we go out together as a family, we usually order the same stuff....some favourite typical Indian dishes (my husband prefers the food from the state of Andhra Pradesh...which is very spicy).....and I have my variety when I go out alone or when I am with my girlfriends. I get tired of eating the same thing even if it is something I like. We usually get a Biriyani (chicken or lamb...I like lamb and my husband likes chicken).

I almost always order the same thing whenever I go out to eat. For example, when I order a pizza I get the combination on pan crust. I even order it the same size each time. Okay, not each time LOL, but almost every time. I did this when I was going to school too. I was so predictable one of the student workers knew what I would order before I ordered it! So sometimes I would mix it up a little just to keep him on his toes! LOL

I am so boring and predictable. I always order the same one or two things off the menu at a particular restaurant. Someone who has known me any length of time can place my order for me (the waitresses often just ask, "The usual?").

hey kiran1978!I don't order the same menu everytime.Like today,instead of ordering ala-carte like I usually do at this japanese place,I ordered a set instead.I am happy being unpredictable at times.It makes life more challenging don't you think?

I don't go out much so I don't want to "waste" it, yes, I usualy do order the same thing so I know for sure I'll get a good meal, it will be good and I'm going to love it. I just recenetly went to our favorite steak house, they have other things, but I always get the California Beef Dip if it is a lunch time and a steak at dinnertime. We went for lunch, I reviewed the menu and thought I'd do something different so I got a grilled chicken with gravey dinner. Yuck! Okay, it wasn't yuck, but it wasn't that good and I mised my great beef dip and basically wasted my money and a fun time. So, yeah, I'll usually stick to the same thing.

When I get the chance to go out for a meal, which is not very often at all, not as much as I would like to anyway, I like to try different things. I do love a gammon though, with pineapple and chips and salad. I do not eat chips at home so you have to have them when you go out. I like to look at the specials board and see what they have on there. I am not a steak lover really, I find it quite boring, I could not eat a spag bol in a restaurant, it would end up everywhere!! It is such a messy dish, although I love garlic bread.

I order almost the same food too, I love chicken wings, or any kind of way a chicken is fried, I love spicy foods. My husband would say to get something else, which I don't know which one to order, so he would end up getting something else for me. And I would love it! I like variety, but I always stick to what I usually wanted.

I am quite often predictable when eating out. In different places I go to, I usually order the same or similar things at each restaurant. At the Ground Round (before it closed up, & at Applebees's, it is usually a cheeseburger & fries. I almost always order the same thing or something similar at Chinese restaurants, & it's always extra cheese as the topping on pizza. I do every so often change, but I almost always end up going back to my regular favorites. That is, if I don't end up staying with what I changed to.

I do sometimes if I like the food that they have and have tried it before but I sometimes like to try something new. I might not know if I like something new if I Dont try it at least once.

Hi kiran, I don't always order the same food, but I don't vary a lot. I guess I'm fairly predictably. Blessings.

No, I'm not predictable. I love variety in everything! I used to go to lunch every day with two of my office mates. One of them ordered the same things at each restaurant we went to. Then she would get tired of the restaurant! lol One day she said, "They have the same old things all the time." I said, "No, you have the same old things all the time! Why don't you order something different?" I knew she was getting ready to give up that restaurant, too! lol She just laughed. But she ordered the same old thing again! lol We're all just different, I guess.

My mom and I go the same restaurant 1-2 times a week. No matter what waitress we get they just ask me "The usual?" Yes I order the same breakfast every time. The works omlett with cheddar cheese hashbrowns and sour dough lightly toasted . Im so boring.

I'm not a simple girl...actually not a girl at all, but I am very predictable. I am probably the only one in my circle where my friends can order for me and serve it exactly as I like. Thought not really food, one pet peeve of my friends is that I rarely put a lid on a cup when I get a fountain drink. I think they simply get in the way, my friends think it's just a little wierd.
