Dine out restaurant worth it?

Going to restaurants is a huge part of my gameplay. I still have the chef standing outside when my sims arrive but he always comes in and starts cooking. Orders are taken promptly and food arrives with little delay.

Although my sim owns two restaurants I really haven't delved into the business side of things. Yet.

I might give it a try

I have lots of restaurants and none are run by my Sims. You just place them, and they are all ready to visit and eat.

All restaurants work that way by default :)

It has been one of the best packs. Visiting Restaurant and running one are both fun things to do. And you can have many options for a restaurant, the selection of foods and drinks is very good. I have made home cook styled restaurant, Indian restaurant, Ice Cream/Burger place, sea food etc. Starting a new restaurant is a fun challenge too because you can start from easy recipes and then as your chef becomes more skilled you can promote the chef and add more difficult dishes to the menu. I usually have restaurants in all my saves even if I don´t run them i will take my sims there to eat and its nice change for a daily routine. But it totally depends on how you like to play the game.

I only use restaurants to visit, never tried to own one yet. Restaurants work fine for me and I enjoy going there with my sims. Restaurants can be a bit glitchy. A good layout is important. Have the necessary items on one floor with enough room for sims to walk around is needed in my opinion.

I haven’t played in a restaurant in over a year. There used to be a glitch where if the sim went to get water or something, then they couldn’t order. But that was awhile ago. Hopefully that glitch is fixed. By listening to others if looks like it might be. I too only send my sims to restaurants, I haven’t played as an owner yet.
