Favorite Places to go in OBX

Think, Pooh, think. How long do you think it takes me to drink my beer or eight or ten? So now my leftovers have been sitting and are gathering the ptomaine. So I'll end up having to throw it out, and that's wasted food, and there are children starving in Burma <-- I know this because my Mom told me.

You're just upset because you can't order off the kiddie menu with your cigarette hanging out of your mouth anymore, aren't you?

Get an appetizer? :shrug: You actually sit there through 10 drinks and don't have a desire to finish your food? You ma'am, differ greatly from me in your eating/drinking practices.

This interests me now though. Do these restaurants that supposedly let you order off the kiddie menu allow you to do it while sitting at the bar? I think everytime I go out to eat now I'm going to see which restaurants will allow me to order off the kiddie menu and then when the server fetches it for me I'm going to tell them that it was just an experiment, but then also add like a dollar to their already good tip Whatcha think?

Most restaurants do not even let an adult order off of the kiddie menu. I was not very hungry on Friday night so date and I split an apetizer sampler and had a couple of drinks. Well, I had wine and he had beer. I didn't overeat and didn't need a doggy bag.

The Froggy Dog!!!! It's in Salvo, just past Waves. It's a family restaurant but at night they have the bar and kareoke!!! I was skeptical the first time we went, but my WHOLE family had so much fun we went back 3 nights in a row!

We love The Froggy Dog too! Lots of fun there.

Not any more. The cyclone killed them all.

Thank goodness, the thought of them starving would have kept me up tonight.

Food Nazi.

I typically eat about half my meal in a restaurant because the portions are so huge. Frequently I will have a beer or eight or ten to go along with my half meal. If they ever had something besides chicken nuggets on the kids menu, that's what I would order from. I fail to see why that should be a problem.

I usually eat an appetizer for dinner when we go out. I can't do big meals.

Seriously, take some time with your family, significant other, date, Ho and head down to this area. If you're resourseful, you'll have a great time!

Exactly! Why order a big meal when you are not going to eat it? No sense in wasting food. Re-heated restaraunt food is not even that great! When I go to Outback its 2 tall ones and kiddy chicken fingers! Just enough!

Don't they have chicken fingers on the appetizer menu?

I don't think so. Plus you get fries with the chicken tenders on the kids menu. It is acutally a pretty large portion based on other kids menu items at other places. Plus with the bread they serve, that is just the right amount of food.

I think they do have them as an appetizer but it's like you said - you get fries with the kids meal.

What's the big deal whether someone orders an appetizer or off the kids menu? Are the control issues that strong that it's a problem of some sort?

I'm not sure but some have a problem with it. THe kid's portions are perfect size, and why spend money on something I am not going to eat. It's not like my mom will be there forcing me to eat my dinner.

sometimes at Outback, a server will charge you $2 extra for ordering off the kids menu. Only had that happen one time....and that was a minus $2 off their tip!

Why take it out of the server because she's doing her job? It's probably the restaurant policy.

Not stated anywhere and never had it happened before. Maybe they pocketed the $2 because they were bitter that someone couldn't eat a full-sized portion? Maybe it was you!
