It always looks way better in my head than it does in a picture.

Oh no! Thai Krai in Meridian has a photo beside every item on their menu.
Best Thai in town. Maybe +0.89 on a scale of 5 on ambiance, but splendid Thai food.

I even like mayonnaise on my fries on occasion.

You must have missed his other thread, and probably don't have a refined enough palate (or refined enough dining experience) to have encountered and been able to appreciate true "quality" fries.
I saw that post. Didn't realize it was the same person.
There are some fries that are great by themselves that don't need ketchup. You won't find those in a fried seafood joint no matter how good the fried seafood IMO

Walked into Flemings last night, no ketchup bottle on table-

That would eliminate a few Chinese joints and a Mediterranean restaurant I enjoy a lot, so I can't follow this rule.

I actually wish all restaurants had photos on the menu 
Some things sound so great and then aren't executed the way I expect.

I like pictures. Many websites have photographs of their food on their sites. One of the few reasons I'll go to Urbanspoon or Yelp is to see if anyone has posted any pictures of the food.

Especially at ethnic places. The tiny hole in the wall Honduran place I go to has them. It is nice to look at something if I have never heard of it.
My rule of thumb is zero. If the food is good, I am a fan.

Cash only can be a big pain in the arse. But as long as the food is good I'm happy. Now if the place isn't very clean inside my wife won't eat there.

I try not to look when I walk through the kitchen to the bathroom and I try not to look around the little bathroom either, but there's always soap and towels and the towels are better than the napkins in the restaurant.
Speaking of napkins there. They must be expensive for them because they sure don't like giving you extra ones.

That they serve good food.

The whole places tiled, makes for a an interesting place..

I know. It's like eating in a bathroom.
And, at Easter, they have those stuffed Easter animals hanging from the hooks on the wall and they all look sort of greasy. Makes me laugh.

Mine:
I give the server the opportunity to control the dining experience. If you're asking me what I want to drink before my arse hits the seat, you just relinquished control to me. If you give me a few moments to get settled, I'm putty in your hands.

My only rule of thumb is tipping a server and being understanding that, even though it seems like a simple enough job, it can be really tough. Even awful servers get 10-15% from me.
Also, price point is a huge deal for me. If an entree is anything over $20 (besides steak), it better blow my socks off or I'm likely not going to eat there again. Food does not cost nearly that much to make and I can easily find great food for less.

Mine #2: I trip small children that run up and down the aisle for the enjoyment of all diners, including the parents.
