There has to be something good on the dessert menu for us to order it though. rawrasaur on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77840 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 09:47:21 +0000 rawrasaur 77840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We never get appetizers or dessert unless in a large group. We take home leftovers with just the entree and don't need the extra food or to spend the extra money. lemondrop on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77807 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 01:18:35 +0000 lemondrop 77807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost never, the dinner portions are usually so big we don't need or want them. We are also trying to watch calories and expenses. Sometimes if I am dying for an appetizer I will just make it my meal.

If not, we usually don't get an appetizer (or dessert) unless it's a special occasion.

So We never get dessert. Usually we get the app if we think that we will be waiting awhile or I am extra hungry.

It depends on where we are going though!

With friends, we usually share everything anyway and get everything :) banana on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77438 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:00:30 +0000 banana 77438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I have dinner with my girlfriends, we always get apps and dessert because we share everything. With my husband, we hardly ever get apps or dessert. We just go straight to the main course.

I'd order dessert every time if it was up to me, but DH doesn't like sweets and I don't need to order a whole dessert b/c I'll eat the whole thing. So, we never order it. tequiero21 on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77368 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:36:54 +0000 tequiero21 77368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we typically get appetizers and desserts when we go to a really nice restaurant - usually cuz we're there to celebrate or something so we splurge. but we don't usually get appetizers, just our meals.... i'll get dessert if i see something that sounds tasty. i almost always have room for dessert.

But I'm too afraid to for some reason. Haha. Instead we get one individual entree and cut up all the meats as soon as they get to us. Oh, I also love all the sauces that come with the meats. I love apps, desserts, and sauces!!!! :) Oh man I REALLY want to go again!!!

When I go with friends we usually only do a cheese and chocolate and skip the meat (not the healthiest but so good!)

I also love dessert, but I'm usually too full at the end of the meal so we will eat something at home if the sweet urge comes along. chopsuey on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77243 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:50:52 +0000 chopsuey 77243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We'll usually share an appetizer, get salad, order one entree (share) and then MAYBE order dessert. :) Weagle on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77241 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:49:57 +0000 Weagle 77241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We rarely get an appetizer or a dessert. Especially now that I'm pregnant... Baby has significantly reduced how much will fit in my stomach in one sitting! looch on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77209 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:31:00 +0000 looch 77209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost always an appetizer, half the time we split a dessert....although we haven't gone out alone for a decent dinner in ages, so I have no idea what I am talking about! mamabolt on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77204 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:25:56 +0000 mamabolt 77204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We'll get apps with a bigger group, but rarely when it's just the two of us. Dessert we will get if it's a special occasion or something looks amazing, and if we still have room after dinner! winniebee on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77198 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:21:20 +0000 winniebee 77198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We always get an appetizer (or salad or soup). Since being pregnant, we always order a dessert too : ) hilsy85 on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77195 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:20:27 +0000 hilsy85 77195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @artbee: ill usually split with him, or just have a bite. I'm not a huge dessert person I guess! prettylizy on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77187 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:09:36 +0000 prettylizy 77187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd say 50% of the time we split an App, but dessert is rare. Only if something looks SUPER good, or I'm having a real craving for something sweet. mrs. wagon on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77177 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:01:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 77177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Apps and dessert are my two favorite parts of the meal!! That's why I love The Melting Pot-- the cheese and chocolate fondues are the best parts of the meal. We actually split an individual entree to make sure we have room for both app and dessert. At regular restaurants if we're super hungry we'll share an app and share a dessert. Sometimes if a dessert looks really good but we're too full, we'll get it to go and eat it at home on the couch. That almost always happens at The Cheesecake factory :) Rubies on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77174 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:00:27 +0000 Rubies 77174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We never order dessert but once in a while the hubs and I will share an app. mrsjyw on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77173 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 08:59:13 +0000 mrsjyw 77173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We almost always order appetizers, but have no room left for dessert. heffalump on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77170 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 08:57:45 +0000 heffalump 77170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @hilsy85: Do you not get dessert with him? I don't know if I could handle watching someone eat dessert all the time and not eat it too! Although hubby did that last night and I just had a bite of his key lime pie. Yum! yoursilverlining on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77036 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:41:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 77036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We like to go to smaller plate places so we can have more courses :D so ideally - an appetizer, salad, main and split some dessert. I do almost always like to get a salad, and then my main course. hilsy85 on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77026 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:29:40 +0000 hilsy85 77026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We usually split an appetizer, or I'll get a salad to start. Dh almost ALWAYS gets dessert--he's the first person I met who always looks at the dessert menu and then orders something. anbanan15 on "Do you get appetizers and dessert when you eat out?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-appetizers-and-dessert-when-you-eat-out#post-77025 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:28:48 +0000 anbanan15 77025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not usually, but it does really depend on the place. For example, if we are going to Cheesecake Factory we ALWAYS share the tiramisu cheesecake, even if we are full and it has to make the 1.5 hour trip home with us. :)
