My fiancee and I eat at this Chinese buffet restaurant almost on a weekly to a bi-weekly there. We go there so much the owner knows us and most of the workers there know us as well. So do you all have a restaurant where you go on a normal basis ?

Just a local place (johnny V's), open 24/7. Me and my friends usually go 3+ times a week for breakfast, but only during summer vacation. We'll stay up and go there at like 5am.

Haven't been there in a few months, though.

Damn, I haven't thought of the term 'regular' for so long. I used to dishwash at a restaurant a long time ago where I had to go get the bustubs and talk to the customers a bit and I talked to some of the 'regulars.' Then I started working at a busier restaurant dishwashing where I didn't deal with the customers at all and didn't go out to see them, the servers brought the dishes back themselves. Now, I'm a line cook and still don't see the customers. No, it's not that I'm a 'regular,' it's just that there are some places I like eating at because the food is good, and I eat there sporadically.

There's a nice neighborhood restaurant close to where I live where I visit at least once a month if not twice. Pear Street Bistro pretty much knows what I like and even knows what sort of wines they think I would like with my meal. It helps that the firend who introduced me to the place also introduced me to the owner so the owner nows if I show up that I get seated quickly.

I make it to The Cinnamon Club at the Old Westminster Library in London usually about twice a month (when I am not on assignment). They have the best take on Indian cuisine.

There's this restaurant about 20 minutes away from us that's really good but also quite pricey so we don't go there often but everytime we go there, the same waitress serves us all the time and she recognizes us always.

There are other restaurants we go to often but the people never recognize us :P

Yes. I go to a local restaurant once a week to drink and eat. The owners adore me and give me free food all the time. It's awesome.

Yeah, everyday after school me and my friends walk home and go to this pizza place. Everyone who works there knows us and they usually give out free slices of pizza, the only problem is I don't like pizza :?

I've been a regular at several places. The last place I worked was right next to a Blimpie's and a mexican joint. I'd alternate between the two of them. The guy that owned the Blimpie's store worked there with his brother and it was just the two of them. He always recognized me and was very nice to me.

I left that job for this one and I went to Jimmy Johns every day for like a month but there were too many of them to remember me. One guy did, though, and he made me a sandwich before I got there. I was surprised.

Then I lost my driver's license and when I was hitching rides with people I went to the same sandwich shop every day for three months. They ended up going out of business but it was also a place where you could buy fresh meat (I call them meat lockers, but I don't know what everyone else calls them). Anyway, they had the best cuts of meat you could possibly imagine and the guys in there knew me so well that they'd frequently give me a free sandwich or drink or whatever. I started telling people to go over there and for every two people that went over there I'd get a free sandwich and I had about a dozen cards for free sandwiches as well. It was pretty nice. I wish they were still open.

Now I frequent Subway because of their 5 dollar deal, Hardees for their $5 for 6 tacos (they are joined with Red Burrito here), a local pizza place called Flinger's Pizza for their flinger rolls and pizza, and a local bar for his food.

I wrote a review on Flinger's Pizza and the guy was so happy he gave me free stuff the next time I went in. It was awesome.

The localbar is owned by a friend of my family and he used to work at a 5-star restaurant. His food is so good I could eat there every day.

I'm a fairly big believer in Donner Kebab for world domination so I know pretty much all the delivery drivers at my local Kebab shop.

Oh yeh the above post made me remember. There's only one shop I can get served for cigarettes in - it's next to my bus stop so I go every couple of days before college. I talk to the guy sometimes, comment on the weather and news etc. He asked what subjects I was studying and I said photography so we talk about cameras sometimes as well :)

Not any more.

The lady & I used to be regulars at Carrabba's Italian Grill, but now that we own a house and have a baby daughter to take of, we don't have the extra funds to eat out much.

i'm always in italian resturants ( like olive garden ) and carribean resturants ( like golden crust, best bites ). pasta and spicy seasoning is my thing.
