Original Research

This gets tagged on a lot of wiki pages and I think it really applies here. I think there needs to be alot more citations, considering how qualitative these descriptions could be and thats fairly subjective. 136.182.158.153 16:24, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(1 undated, unsigned post removed due to violation of Talk_page_guidelines on May 5, 2007.)

One of the big problems with this topic in general as a wikipedia article is that there is little to no real hard data on which to base the article that is readily available outside foodservice newsletters and cooking school textbooks that usually don't have online forms which can be linked to and/or verified by the vast majority of wikipedians. There is no authoritative layman's treatise on the topic of restaurants, and while I have considered writing one from time to time this is certainly not the place as it would definitely be original research. I wish anyone attempting to clean it up good luck. 71.244.138.33 (talk) 18:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are citeable sources, books can be cited using the {{Cite book}} template. These classifications can be found in normal sources too. I have seen them in the NYT. this is not OR. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 21:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

just an impression

This entire article sounds like someone made it up. It really needs help. Can it be deleted? Can I, a non-admin, nominate for deletion? These are questions that will not be answered now, at 1:44am. Goodnight, all. Sorry for the decidedly non-constructive criticism. — gogobera (talk) 05:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can nominate for deletion - take a look at WP:PROD and WP:AfD. I think a merge with the restaurant article might be more in order though. There seems to be a couple of paragraphs of useful information here that's been expanded into a very poor few screens worth. A small summary on the segmentation of the restaurant market from a business and cultural perspective might be good there. -- SiobhanHansa 12:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I agree with the merge proposal. This article has significant and unnecessary duplication with the restaurant article. hajhouse 18:41, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the merge proposal. This article has significant and extensive linkage from other articles. I guess it was created to make the restaurant article a reasonable length - there is a section there that links to this article. So I guess there's some reasons for the existence of Types of restaurants. 12.226.24.113 (talk) 04:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

expensive restaurant

This does not give any description at all. and the links on it don't mention what it is. though the name does make it fairly obvious, that doesnt matter in an encyclopedia, it needs a better description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.224.124 (talk) 18:45, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree a title maybe self-explanatory but it still must have a legitimate explanation.--DavidD4scnrt (talk) 04:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

US-centric

This article is very USA-centric. The opening section should be more clear that the changing usage of the word 'restaurant' is particular to the United States. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattsea (talk • contribs) 15:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No fine dining?

Why doesn't this article have a section of fine-dining?Vice regent 20:14, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

someone edited it out - It's back in now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.101.107 (talk) 01:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

!

I love casual dining; I like to take a quick shower, throw on jeans and a polo shirt, and grab a bite to eat with my friends and sometimes family. If I go with my wife, we like to talk about our days and then smile and say "I love you" and "I love you, too." I really enjoy sandwiches, burgers, and draft beer. And fries! We were even casual dining last week, and we saw my neurologist and his wife (she is not a neurologist, but and ENT specialst). How zany is that? Also, that same night I found an AWESOME parking spot and my wife said "Honey! You're really good at finding awesome parking spots that are really close to where we need to go!" She's the best wife I've ever had!
