A Basic Guide to The Restaurant Types

Restaurants are classified according to their price range, type of service, and men, among other aspects. For ordinary consumers, it can be slightly confusing to know which one is which, although there are notable exceptions like the general knowledge that McDonald’s is a fast-food restaurant chain.

Here, we will take a look at the basic characteristics of several of the different types of restaurants. At the very least, you can set expectations when a new restaurant brands itself as, say, a family-style establishment.

Fast Food

With international chains like Burger King, McDonald’s, and KFC, the fast food restaurants are the most familiar for people in and out of the United States. These are known for their cheap prices, speed of service, and convenience, as well as their varied menu, usually with a focus on a specific cuisine. For example, Taco Bell is known for its Tex-Mex fare, McDonald’s for its hamburgers, and KFC for its fried chicken.

While many fast food restaurants are offering healthier fare, consumers shouldn’t expect low-calorie, low-fat menus from most of them. Many of their food are considered as comfort food – as high in nostalgia, portions and taste as it’s high in calories and fat.

Fast Casual

This is slightly more upscale than fast food and, thus, the prices are also more expensive. Like their fast food cousins, fast casual restaurants also serve their food in disposable flatware and dishes – there are exceptions, especially for dine-in customers – but their foods are usually presented in a gourmet-style manner. Here, organic ingredients are likely to be used in gourmet salads, steaks and sandwiches, among others, such as in Panera Bread.

Café or Bistro

This type of restaurant doesn’t offer table service so customers have to line up at the counter, order their food, and serve themselves. In a café, the menu may be limited to coffee, pastries and sandwiches while a bistro will likely offer full meals. Both types, nonetheless, are known for their relaxed, intimate atmosphere where the staff are friendly, even familiar, with the customers.

Buffet

The buffet concept originated in 16th century France and it has stood the test of time, thanks to the numerous benefits for the host and guests alike. Basically, a buffet restaurant doesn’t offer table service since the guests serve themselves from several dishes and desserts laid out on a long table and sideboards. The dining utensils are also set on the sideboards.

If you’re feeding a large number of people, such as in a party, but you don’t have the budget for a sit-down dinner, then taking the guests to a buffet restaurant makes sense. Many, if not most, buffet restaurants offer discounts for groups so saving money is possible.

Family Style

Also known as casual dining, a family style restaurant typically offers moderately-priced dishes and desserts. Many of them also offer signature dips, sauces and toppings, which can be mixed and matched according to the customer’s preferences. Most, if not all, of them offer tableside service and non-disposable flatware and dishes, as well as provide a low-key, relaxed environment.

Family style restaurants come in many themes. Examples include Americana like Ruby Tuesday’s, barbecue like Longhorn Steakhouse, and Mexican cuisine like On the Border.

Fine Dining

This type of restaurant offers its customers the finest in food and drinks, customer service, and ambiance but all of these come with a price – expensive prices, to be exact. Here, customers can easily spend $50 on a single meal, at least, but can expect the best in everything in return. Yes, fine dining restaurants offer table service so much so that even the chef can come to your table and engage in a little chit-chat.

Food Truck

There are no tables and chairs where customers can sit down to enjoy their meal or snacks with a food cart. Instead, the chef cooks the food and takes the orders from his truck, a mobile food business that can be taken nearly everywhere.

Food trucks are the least expensive way to own and operate a restaurant, too. There are no overhead costs and less staff to worry about, for one thing.  Plus, a food truck can go where the customers are, an advantage that brick-and-mortar restaurants don’t have.

All You Can Eat

Customers looking for the most bang for their buck, quantity-wise, like the all-you-can-eat restaurants. They only have to pay a fixed price per person and enjoy all the food set out on the different food stations, which usually include hot items, entrées and appetizers, salads, and desserts. Examples include the Hometown Buffet and Old Country Buffet.

When choosing which type of restaurant to go to, keep in mind that you must first consider the price, if money is an object, and then the type of food you’re craving. Fine dining restaurants are a great choice if you want to feel pampered but perhaps a fast-food restaurant is a more appropriate choice for quick comfort food.

KFC vs. Popeyes vs. Church’s Chicken vs. Chick-fil-a vs. Raising Cane’s vs. Zaxby’s

Fried chicken has revolutionized we eat! We can enjoy fried chicken with and without sides, such as mashed potatoes, French fries, and jambalaya rice, and we can cook it at home and order it in dozens of restaurants. Of the hundreds of restaurants offered fried chicken, we can mention the likes of KFC, Popeyes, Church’s Chicken, Chick-fil-a, Raising Cane’s and Zaxby’s dominate the market.

Which one is the best chicken-centric restaurant? Let’s take a look by comparing their fried chicken offerings, among others.

KFC

Colonel Sanders’ fried chicken is the original fast-food fried chicken and it’s still among the most popular of its kind. Thanks to its secret spices, KFC’s fried chicken is delicious from its crunchy skin to its juicy meat, not to mention that it’s served in a generous portion. We believe that nothing beats the original and it applies to Colonel Sanders’ fried chicken!

Through the years, KFC has also expanded its offerings such that its customers can choose from several food options, many of which are also chicken-based. The chicken fillet sandwiches and wraps provide the carbs, proteins and fats that you may need for a single meal; try the Tower and Zinger burgers as well as the Boxmasters and Twisters.

Popeyes

For people who love Cajun flavors, Popeyes is the best choice! Popeyes’ fried chicken comes in mild and spicy flavors, as well as served with your choice of sides – rice and red beans, Cajun fries, mashed potatoes, and Cajun rice. Keep in mind that Popeyes takes pride in its Southern food so the menu also features po’boy sandwiches and jambalaya.

But what’s a Popeyes visit without fried chicken? Many people love its fried chicken because it’s flavorful from its crispy skin to its succulent meat, thanks to a 12-hour marinating time. After being marinated, the chicken pieces are then battered, breaded, and deep-fried before being served hot.

The new Popeyes Chicken Sandwich has such a big hype behind it that Popeyes is having problems meeting the demand.

Tip: Try the mild flavor first and then enjoy the spicy flavor once your spice tolerance increases.

Church’s Chicken

While some people say that Church’s Chicken fried chicken has a relatively brand flavor, they are probably missing its point. Think of it as a blank canvas, thanks to its light seasoning, which you can customize according to your personal preferences in a fried chicken.  You can add any condiment that you want to make it more flavorful – creamy mayonnaise, rich ketchup, and/or spicy sauce.

The fried chicken itself is delicious on its own so there may not be a need for these extra condiments. After all, the point of fried chicken lies in its crunchy skin with just the right amount of seasoning and juicy, tender and succulent meat.

Pair the friend chicken – or the chicken tenders, if you want – with the fluffy biscuits to satisfy your cravings.

Chick-fil-a

Are you on the hunt for the best chicken sandwich? Look no further than Chick-fil-A! Undoubtedly, Chick-fil-A beats every other chain that offers chicken sandwiches including McDonald’s.

Yes, the chicken sandwich is simple in its construction but therein also lies its beauty.  There are no fancy condiments that get in the way of enjoying the full flavors of the grilled marinated chicken, the star of the sandwich, as well as the signature sauce and pickle slices. The contrast between the savory chicken, the tangy sauce, and the sweet-sour pickle slices makes for an explosion of delicious flavors in the mouth.

If you want the full flavor of the chicken without the buns, you can order the chicken strips and nuggets. The strips are addictive with their complex flavors coming from the combo of tomato powder, garlic powder, and molasses.

Raising Cane’s

Many of the abovementioned chains have complicated menus that can cause confusion. Not so with Raising Cane’s with its pared-down menu consisting of just chicken fingers served with crinkle-cut fries, toast, coleslaw, and Cane’s signature sauce.

The chicken fingers are served in four combos with each combo having a different number. The combo meals are 3-Finger Combo, Box Combo, Sandwich Combo, and Caniac Combo, which have chicken fingers ranging from two to six. The chicken fingers aren’t small, far from it, so it’s easy to share them with your friend or to satisfy your hunger.

The chicken fingers are tender, flavorful and juicy, too, even meatier than on-the-bone fried chicken. Plus, there’s also the ease with which it can be eaten while you’re on the move.

All the prices are taken from Raising Cane's menu prices

Zaxby’s

In comparison with the likes of KFC, Zaxby’s is a small chain but don’t be fooled by its size. Zaxby’s offers good friend chicken wings and chicken fingers, too!

What makes Zaxby’s chicken special? First, it’s cooked to order so the chicken wings and tenders are always served fresh from the fryer so their skins remain crispy and their meat is hot, flavorful and moist.

We love it, too, that the chicken wings are served in two ways – on the wing and boneless. Every order, however, comes with a dipping sauce; you can choose from several heat levels, such as the moderately spicy Zax sauce and the crazy-hot Nuclear and Insane sauce.

In conclusion, each of these chains have their merits where the quality of their fried chicken is concerned. We like KFC and Popeyes for our part.
