How Often Do You Go Out to Eat? - Fort Monroe,VA

Way too often, says my waistline and my bank account :( Sometimes we try to reign it in, but we find it hard to do that.

At most twice per week. And we both eat lunch out maybe once or twice per week. Breakfast? Hubs stops for coffee every morning--and maybe a donut occasionally.

When my husband is in town, every single day, when he is not....once a week. We never eat fast food either, our meal usually costs anywhere from 30 to 50. It would be more but my daughters and i are vegetarians.

We don't really go out a lot. We do order pizza about once a week. I guess I would say that we eat something that I don't cook about once a week. I would love it if we could all get dressed up and go out to a nice sit down restaurant for dinner. Sadly, that just isn't going to happen for awhile. Honestly though, as long as I don't have to cook or clean up, I don't really care!

Hubby eats fast food breakfast almost every day! Unless I am making something warm that has meat in it for breakfast.

Usually on Fridays (when we don't have the teenagers) we will get Take-Out from our favorite Indian or Thai or Chinese restaurant and have a 'date night'.

Then about once a month we take the whole family out for Sunday breakfast...at our favorite breakfast joint, it's called 'The Old European'.

Hubby loves ribs, so we eat at Outback every so often, sometimes Red Lobster, we have a REALLY GOOD Mexican restaurant in town that is yummy, its called 'Ranch Chico'. Our favorite Italian place is called 'Tomato Street'.

~When my in-laws come to town they always take us out, usually dinner and breakfast and then we make one dinner here....anyway, we have a lot of really fancy restaurants that they like to go to, Spencer's (Excellent steakhouse)...we also have quite a few Organic restaurants in town that MIL and I love, one of them has a roof-top garden and its too die for, The Wild Sage. My in-laws are coming this weekend actually, we have reservations for a new Steakhouse called 'Churchills' it's supposed to be good, we'll see.

All in all, I would say we probably eat dinner out about 7-8 nights in a month...my hubby is a sucker for *really good food* and is totally ruled by his stomach :)

Do you have a 'Melting Pot' by you? It's a fondue place...its uber expensive and has gotten tons of good reviews...it's pretty good, the teens LOVE IT!

Now I am hungry....thanks a lot S.!

On a normal week we usually eat out about 3-4 times a week. It usually depends on how busy we are with work/school/sports etc. On Mondays we always have pizza becuase the local place does $5 specials on large pizza's. Otherwise we spend about $30 each time.

We try to stick to once a week for eating out as a family, I try to cook all the other meals, or simple lunch sandwiches. As a family we usually eat at one of the following Olive Garden, Outback, Qdoba, Chancery or local restaurant (I love going to new places, seeing what they have to offer, something different). McD's makes up sick, takes about a day to recover from eating there because we do not usually eat fast food or the way they prepare food (we are actaully recovering from our McD's lunch yesterday, we are no longer getting food from them any more).

Now my hubby meets a former coworker once a month for a lunch out, and it varies where they go... and then at least once or twice more he will go out for lunch during that month.

Depending on my work schedule I do eat lunch at a sub shop once or twice a week. I do this with my daughter because of the transition of picking her up at preschool and then dropping her off at grandma's we stop for a sub. This will change when she starts kindergarten in fall, I might be cutting that out since I will not be running around so much and can bring a lunch along or stay at home for lunch.

I love to go to breakfast on Sunday mornings. I look foward to it all week.
I research places to try on yelp.com and we go from there.

Otherwise- we'll get take-out once a week. Sometimes chinese or pizza.
If we go out to eat we'll usually get mexican food or go somewhere else..

My hubby eats lunch out everyday at work. We go out on dates once a week and will eat out as a family once or twice a month. If we eat fast food, it's usually only In & Out Burger. Otherwise, it's always a restaurant, mostly Mexican food. Date nights may include our favorite pizza place or Olive Garden. =)

Too much? LOL Usually Saturday's for lunch after dance. Most of the times it's Subway or Mr Goodcents (subs & pasta - so a little healthier than other fast food) sprinkled in w/Runza or Amigo's. Every once in awhile another time or 2 per month w/friends but I've really been trying to limit that. We went to HuHot Wednesdays after both girls got shots (7 total!), 1 finger poke, and 2 huge vials of blood from my youngest! I thought they deserved it but really I did for holding her down!

We've really cut back. I think this past month we will have gone out twice as a family, though DH may have caught fast food more often. A friend commented that food at home was just as quick many times, so I try to just go on home vs waiting in line, having to to get the kids out of the car, etc.

In our case we tend to eat more when my husband is home (weekends) since we were our any ways. Where it depends how much we want to spend. If we just want to spend little we go to Wendy's but if we can do more, my older and I like Panera, hubby likes Bobby's Burger Palace or Salad Works., and the baby likes our local Mexican Restaurant.

Not as often as we would like! Normally maybe every other month for dinner. Around the time I was due with our third (end of Feb/beginning of March) we did hit McDonald's way too often just because they had Shamrock Shakes, I was cranky and pregnant, and frequently wanted the fries, but normally we might get McDonald's about once a month at the most--not always a meal, more like a small fry to split between the kids and a smoothie or something for the grown-ups.

When we go out we go to TGI Friday's or a local place, Rohrbach's, which is a microbrewery and restaurant and an awesome family place. We usually go there for a late dinner (between 8:30 and 9:30) since it is quieter and we're up late anyway. I also like to eat at Tahou's and have a Garbage Plate, but the kids don't seem to like them so lately if I really NEED one I get it to go and have it at home, but that has not even been once a month. :(

We usually go out to a sit down dinner once or twice every two weeks.
Fast food..like panda express, subway, a pizza.....maybe once a week.....maybe once every three weeks..just depends.

We go out about once a week, typically on Friday. Our favorite place is called Chiloso's - it's like Chipotle. We tend to stay away from places we need to tip b/c our budget doesn't allow it. If we do fast food it is Chik-fil-a or Subway. We do not go to McD's, Burger King, J in the Box, Taco Bell etc. If we don't go out on Friday we may order pizza w/ wings. We used to go out A LOT but our finance situation just doesn't allow it anymore. I love the change, family time is so much better.

maybe once or twice a month we will have lunch on a sat or sun at BWW or at texas roadhouse. and everyother month we will buy arby's or md to give me a break from making lunch when we are busy in the am.
