Many people around Houston will be familiar with the group of restaurants known as The Creeks.

In short, the experience is as follows:

- You go up to the counter and give your order.

- I order iced tea, so they give you your own cup and you fill/refill as needed.

- They bring food to your table.

- They typically do not make rounds during meal.

- They bus table upon meal completion.

So it is more than fast food but less than a more traditional restaurant.

I think 10%-15% is reasonable. What say you?

10-15 is even pushing it. I'd leave a few bucks tops.

sounds like the difference between 10% and 20% is a few bucks

don't be cheap and know that those extra 2 bucks will help out the kids working there

Sounds like 10-15% is very generous with what little they do, and having to get your own drink.

A small pile of salt with a half-used Sweet-n-low pack.

That's what I would do. Basically just for throwing my stuff away.

That's like buffet or Jason's Deli type environment.

$1 per person at the table. $2 maybe.

So you feel you can hold that table and not let somebody else sit who could potentially tip?
