You are technically incorrect. The vast majority of RESTAURANT food served in this country is "fast food".

You can call them whatever you want. 'Feeding troughs'

Full Definition of restaurant

: a business establishment where meals or refreshments may be purchased

Don't ya just luv Merriam-Webster, an unofficial, but very respected arbitrator of some stupid disputes!

We decided to try the new Lakeview Tavern on Friday night. They were busy, and it was pretty noisy, but it's a tavern, so noise is to be expected. However, we were not prepared for the long wait, as we ordered burgers.....not exactly complicated.....right? We waited....waited some more.....the waitress said our order would be out shortly, so we waited some more. We got up and left after waiting 40 minutes. I guess that makes us slow learners. We will not give them a second chance.

My guess is that Friday was their first real test of having a crowd. The time we went was not real busy and our food came out quickly. When the restaurant across from the entrance to the Weirs first opened (can't remember name - Lobster something) we had to wait an hour to get a table and then they said it would be an hour for food to come out of the kitchen. I think they figured it out as people seemed to like it. I hope the Tavern figures it out or the building will have yet another name on it.
