I usually don't look up menus online unless I'm meeting up w/a bunch of people; then sometimes it's easier to have an idea of what I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant/page/2#post-632562 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:38:40 +0000 JerricaBenton 632562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a quick look to make sure there are some options that appeal to me but I like to look at the menu at the restaurant in depth. I think of it as part of the dining out experience. My husband, on the other hand, loves nothing more than studying the menu at home before we go out. He's ready to order when we walk in lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-632245 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:24:57 +0000 PurplePumps 632245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time!

I was actually just doing it a few mins ago : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-632110 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:31:37 +0000 fussygal 632110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I don't want to miss out on anything good! DH says it drives him nuts that I take so long :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-632100 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:28:11 +0000 MrsHotDog 632100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do and it drives my husband nuts when I ask him what he plans on ordering...even if we aren't going until tomorrow night. He thinks I am unusual but apparently I'm not. </p> <p>If I was going to that wing place I would get Bacon Ranch, Spicy Sweet and Sour BBQ, and Roasted Pineapple Jalapeño! That place sounds delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-632094 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:25:18 +0000 sunny 632094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally do! And I check Yelp for recommendations too!</p> <p>Actually I hate it when there is a menu but no prices online. Why do they do that?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-632091 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:23:12 +0000 yerpie110 632091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always always! It's a must because I'm so indecisive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-632005 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:50:25 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 632005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially since being pregnant. If I know I'm going out for dinner, I literally salivate over the menu for hours before going. </p> <p>And those wings look AWESOME. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631953 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:31:03 +0000 MrsStar 631953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always check out the menu beforehand online if possible, usually I get stuck between 2 options which makes the final decision hard. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631621 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:21:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 631621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! and read reviews on yelp about what's good ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631620 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:20:53 +0000 delight 631620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time!

I used menus to narrow down the options for our honeymoon. I lobbied for the resort we went to based off the awesome menu. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631395 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:13:31 +0000 illumina 631395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always!

I was so psyched for pear tortellini on vday and ended up with crappy eggplant parm instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631314 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:58:05 +0000 Meridian 631314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely check the menus and read a ton of Yelp reviews before going someplace new!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631292 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:52:42 +0000 BoogieBea 631292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, that's how we decide where to go - we look at the menu ahead of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631285 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:50:58 +0000 nana87 631285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all the time! I'm a vegetarian so I always make sure there's something I can eat there that isn't too "boring" (especially since we're in NYC and there are just so many options). i.e., I loooove me some pasta with red sauce, but if that's the only option, I'd rather go some place else. and so often the vegetarian entree is a total throw away dish, like "market vegetable plate" which just means they put random sides together. laaaaame! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631226 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:42:16 +0000 Sweet T 631226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to if it's a new place. That wing menu is making my mouth water! I don't think we have any wing places here. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631209 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:38:53 +0000 Alivoo01 631209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! All the time because I can't ever decide when I get there so I like to have somewhat of an idea so I don't take too long to decide once I'm there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631168 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:29:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 631168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631162 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:28:48 +0000 Mrsbells 631162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes i do this a lot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631156 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:27:58 +0000 blackbird 631156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ALWAYS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631154 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:27:39 +0000 Bookish 631154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: We have an indecisiveness problem too, so it really helps us!

If I go in with a plan, it would go a lot faster and we would probably have better meals. He's not that picky, just takes forever to decide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631134 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:22:07 +0000 Boheme 631134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely!

If I can't find something he will eat on the menu, we don't go :[ I do a ridiculous amount of menu-drooling before a trip so I can find awesome foods for both of us!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-study-the-menu-before-you-eat-at-a-restaurant#post-631118 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:17:35 +0000 .twist. 631118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha never.
