Are you good with going in a restuarant right before it’s scheduled to close?

At a sit down place, we have a one hour rule.

In that example the manager just needs to say the kitchen closes at 9:30, the dining room closes at10:00. Easy.

If I'm looking for food that late it's gonna be either fast food or waffle house

It’s rude to sit down to go is perfectly fine

Never within 15 mins or so of closing. Grew up working in restaurants, it’s just common courtesy.

Unless you're tight with the manager or the staff, no. You're asking for your food to messed with in a bad way.

There was black pastor in Ascension that had billboards everywhere that used to roll into that (not Houstons) place in front of the mall AFTER closing many nights, then raise hell that we were racist until we would seat him.

That guy was a steaming pile of shite. He’d come in with much younger women he was clearly sleeping with and try to alpha dog everyone.

In my experiences, people’s food was never messed with in any kind of unsanitary way. But it was half assed made for sure.

Nope. First you’ll get bad service. Secondly, I don’t want to force workers to stay over

Most places won’t take new orders 30 min or less before closing time
