Sometime their Takeout menu will show the prices, but they could be different. Instead of their website google the restaurant name followed by the word menu and often someone will have taken a picture of it. Just be aware that the menu may have changed since it was posted.

The way I figure it, if they can't list a price, they don't want my business.

It was not until the meal was finished that we knew what it cost.
What did it cost? Details, please.

Yes, I usually di this and have no problem. It was this restaurant my friend sent me the link for that had no prices and I really had never seen this and found it kind of off putting. I did end up digging around and finding out some prices that customers posted along with their food.

I ran into a restaurant in Las Vegas last year. They put us in a dark room. We asked for menus. They showed us a QR code. I had already seen their website which was not user friendly and lacked prices. We asked for a real menu. They said, "we cannot do that." We got up and started to leave. They found ONE menu.

Never again. We should have walked out as the food was as bad as the service.

If you're worried about the cost, you probably can't afford it anyway.

Even if I were a lottery winner, I'd want to know the prices of things. It's the principle.

I would too.

It's just the saying you hear "snobby waiter/waitress" say. They use it to feel superior.

Haha! Or, like buying a fancy vehicle.

I know that regular restaurants sometimes have daily specials not listed on a menu which are servers verbally tell customers without listing the prices. These specials tend be more expensive than what is actually on the menu.
