@cozykaffe@snouts.online There are, as we understand it, three 'grades' of restaurant. Fast food, which you know; "fast-casual", which is nicer than fast food but still has the pay-before-you-eat, order-at-the-counter format, and "sit-down restaurants", which is the sort where you get a menu, sit down with it, give a waiter your order, and pay after you finish.
@cozykaffe@snouts.online I swear, there is an identical Mexican restaurant in every city we've lived, with identical decor and menu between all of them. They're not a chain, either.
