okay so I had this customer today that complained about our prices at our restaurant because her bill was $11 but she ordered two plates of food and a drink!
plus it's hawaii for heaven's sake-the average lunch price IS between 8-$11!!
we serve a lot of food for each plate, like this one:

yummy food!!!!

a lunch like the one above would average about $7, not bad for Hawaii I say
she must wanted her food to cost $3 or something, lol
a local would have told her "this ain't the mainland" ha ha Smile


just thought I would share
what about your part of town, how much is the average lunch??

For the record - I'd say that lunch that you posted would cost about $15 in Australia..

Well no I dont really hear complaints over prices of food - I mean you order your food off of a menu which clearly states the price, if it's too expensive just don't eat there!

Oh and I'm not talking about fancy restaurants.. at a fancy restaurant you're likely to pay double what I said!!

Also keep in mind that the Aussie dollar is worth less than the US dollar so our prices will always seem more than yours, when they're probably pretty even when you take into account the dollar differences..

I've been living in California for about the past 2 years. Shit here is EXPENSIVE. A beer costs anywhere from $4.00 to $8.00. Don't even TALK to me about pitchers! I'm used to $1.50 pitchers, back home. A pitcher of beer, HERE, is anywhere from $12.00-$17.00, and it just blows my mind.

Kelley, that link you posted - I would say you're right on - $10.00 to $12.00. In CA, anyway. Looks good, though!

I like to spoil myself. When it comes to food, I don't mess around. I like to eat. As long as I still have this kick-ass, Lance Armstrong-Michael Phelps-crackhead metabolism, I'll keep on eating my heart out.

On my way to Oahu in about 5 months, can't wait to come check out your place, Kelley!

CHEERS! Very Happy

"I mean you order your food off of a menu which clearly states the price, if it's too expensive just don't eat there!:"

EXACTLY Kid, lol that is what I wanted to tell her Smile but I guess some customers like to wait until they get to me (the cashier) to vent out their frustrations of the day
whatever *shrugs* the one customer behind her started laughing when she left my register, embarrassing, you know?

And Cristo, $1.50 for a pitcher of beer? wow! never heard of those prices
and I like a good greasy meal too, no seaweed stuff Wink

and I promise I won't overcharge when you come visit !

That's North Dakota... drinking beer is a pseudo-religion there.

AND... you can overcharge me if you want to, as long as the food is good! Can't be much more pricey than California, for Pete's sake!

BONUS - Cristo is a GREAT tipper, especially after a few beers! Wink

Kelley thats sounds about right to me. With that much food on the plate looks like she got a deal. Pricewise it depends on where you eat around here. THe closest family restaurant to me, two of those plates would probably be a little more like $15.

Don't sweat it some people have nothing else to do but complain.
