That's amore.

I like conversation when I�m eating, especially with my family. I hate phones to be shown, but I never win that battle. Loud music is annoying if I have to raise my voice when speaking.

Yup. If I have to raise my voice over the music, I promise you that the cooks all the way in back can hear me.

+1 Are all states like this or is it just another Texas custom?

I like a festive atmosphere, doesn't bother me at all

I prefer Furr's over Luby's.

Get off my lawn. People should not be festive and have fun when eating out. They should be quiet as a mouse. Eating is serious business. Ain't nobody got time for a good time.

Going out to eat has become a major beating for us , I told me wife we are OLD .

I like music in a restaurant but not too loud that you can�t speak to someone without having to really raise your voice. Most places we go are okay in that range every now and then one will be stupid loud but not very often. Of all things I recently told a Subway to turn it down and they did. We were the only ones in there at that time and they were rocking way too loud to be pleasant.

I have been know to go over and unplug the jukebox. I only do this after hard bouts of drinking, though.

We crank it up fairly loud. Keeps undesirables out.

We need an Olds sub forum.
