When you return to a restaurant that you enjoyed prior do you order the same thing or do you try something new

Question

When I go out to dine with friends I have noticed majority of them order the same thing again and again. I was wondering why? Do you keep ordering the same thing?

I guess I am differrant I try something new often

Answer 1

i think people ordering same because they just dont know what is is and they are scared because it might be not as good as thay thought:)

Answer 2

same thing

Answer 3

I definetly would try something new. I try not to order the same thing, I like to experience different things so I:ll know where to go dine and where not to go.  Everything may not be so good there, but this way, you'll know not to order it again.Then  when them taste buds go crazy over something you really enjoyed, then  go back and get it again. Sometimes what you ate the first time is not so good the next, but that's the chance you take eating out.

Answer 4

I usually order the same thing, but I do like to switch it up sometimes.

Answer 5

order something different!  variety they say is the spice of life... if they make 1 thing good; try something else.  see how good they are!

Answer 6

I'm guilty of the same thing,but maybe for a different reason.

I LOVE to eat! A good meal,to me,is one of the finer things in life.

It's not that I don't like to try new foods,but fewer things are as disappointing than anticipating a good meal and then being let down.That's why I order the same thing alot.I know I'm gonna get a good meal!

But that can get boring after a while,so I switch up from time to time.Most times I'm not disappointed,but every now and then I get something that just plain sucks!That's when I order something I know is good the next time I go out.

Answer 7

I do because I know I like it and if I get something else and i don't like it it would be a waste of money.

Answer 8

find somethin that works or you like and stick with it

Answer 9

it all depends on what i feel like eating

Answer 10

It depends on the restaurant.  If I have tried other things and didn't like them then I will go back to something I know tastes good.  However, if they have brought out a new menu I'll try some of the new items just so that I have expanded my taste buds.

Answer 11

same thing, unless its an Italian or Chinese Restaurant....then I try different items off the menu

Answer 12

i always try something new till i don't like a dish then i go back to the first thing i have ordered and stick to it

Answer 13

I like to try new things unless I fo to a place like Burger King,then I tend to order the same thing.

Answer 14

I thought this a rather stupid question and then I thought about it. I hate to admit it but I always order the same thing, regardless if its Chinese, Vietnamese or Canadian. I'm not into Italian.

Answer 15

Every so often, I'll try something new. I usually regret it! But I still do it. Or I'll stick with an old trusted favorite if I'm not feeling experimental.

Answer 16

i like to go to the same places and order the same things a lot when i dine out

im kind of a creature of habit and like things the same, if i find something i like, i dont like to change it

good question

Answer 17

I order the same thing, the reason being it isn't usually something that I make for myself at home.

Answer 18

Most of the time I order the same, but usually the third time I'll order something different.  I don't know why I do it that way.  Guess I'm just in a rut.

Answer 19

If I really enjoy a certain dish, I look forward to ordering it most every time I go to that restaurant.  It doesent  hurt to try something different occasionally, but if you have a favorite, dish like I do, I usually order it!

Answer 20

if I really like the food that I had prior,I order the same thing again.

Answer 21

There are many restaurants that I like. Each one for a specific meal. But sometimes I try something different.

Answer 22

I like to try something new, but it may depend on my appetite. I love when they have new items on the menu

Answer 23

Never really thought about it, but now that you have mentioned it, I usually get the same thing cause it was so good, and thats why I went back, cause I was in the mood for it again.

Answer 24

I definitely try something new!

Answer 25

I order the same thing.  Why not?  Its not like you were just there the day before.

Answer 26

Guilty!!!  especially at APPLEBEE'S (southwest chicken salad & a raspberry lemonade) & at OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE (appetizer:  Bloomin onion - of course!!!)

(meal: small ribeye, garlic mashed potatoes, coors light)
