BBQ places I notice the increase the most. Essentially 40% increases at places we go.
Which I feel like most people understand with their cost skyrocketing. Ordered a filet a few weeks ago and the waitress warned us that it would be $68.

The rest of your post leads to me to believe otherwise.
We eat out once a week at a sitdown restaurant and it is usually $75 with tip.

2 kids meals and 2 basic cheeseburger combos cost $41.
We usually get lunch out after church. About the only non-chain options are Mexican. The bill for the 4 of us to get sh!tty Mexican is now around $50 after tip
If you went to eat a sit down restaurant by yourself and got a full meal with entree, side, a non-water drink, and tipped and the total ended up being $10-$12 would you call that absurdly expensive?
This. Prices are up but I feel like the OP is a bit of a tightwad.

quote:totally agree with this, but your examples of expensive seem cheap based on my recent experiences. I can’t take the family out to even fast casual for less than $75. If we have a server we are $100 in for sure.
Dining out is now absurdly expensive
ETA: pizza is the only eating out that is still relatively inexpensive

You’re right... it’s fricking expensive
What pisses me off even more is paying 7-8 bucks for a draft ipa

It's like we're paying for dining out food at the rate stadium's charge for concession stand food

Stay home and cook if you want, but groceries have gone up too. I never found cooking at home to be that cheap of an option. Maybe for kids.

If I roll in to a White Castle with my coupons it is very reasonable. White Castle has the best coupons.

Sad thing is I don't see prices going down anytime soon if ever

It’s true. I briefly waited tables in college.
But I always go minimum 20%.

If the cost of that very same meal was $9 just 6 months ago, yes.
That’s a 33% increase.

Depending on your kids age this isn't bad at all for a table and waiter.
I spent $104 for a family of 5 at a mexican restaurant in Tuscon a couple weeks ago because my wife ordered all 3 kids outragoues meals, got a $20 marg, and got a $12 queso app. We splurged but still $104 with 3 kids under 10 for mexican was stupid.
But yes, even fast food for a family of 4 or more is no longer under $25 and hard to get under $40.
