When did you re-enter a restaurant post-pandemic and where?

26. it sounds wonderful

(i've never been in a waffle house)

not that much of a fan on "dining in" to begin with (perhaps partially due to lack of finances) but i can tell you that once we locked down (march friday the 13th 2020) that was it. hadn't eaten inside a restaurant for at least a couple months before that. and i haven't since then.

i do drive thu fast food (come home & nuke it for 30 seconds)
i ordered denny's breakfast once and walked inside to pick up my order.

i miss not being able to go into a restaurant and have someone wait on me.
i miss not being able to go out to dinner with my daughter and son in law once in awhile. they went out once around valentines day this year -- to a place that had those igloos for a single party with the heaters.

pandemic ain't over till it's over. and i've got a little under five yr old grandkid that i don't want to be passing covid to so yeah, no indoor dining for me in the foreseeable future.
