My Favorite Restaurants
As far back as I can remember, I have always liked going out to eat. Two of my favorite restaurants are Chevy’s and McDonald’s. Though both places are to dine in they have their differences in their ambience, waiting, and expense. When deciding where to go to eat, I have three things to think about.

Because Chevy’s is popular it fills up rapidly but does not empty quickly. When customers are finally seated, a waiter is assigned to their table. The first thing the waiter does is ask what customers’ want to drink. About three minutes...
