Hello everyone, and welcome back to Mr. English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.
2
I'm Emily.
3
Hey Emily!
4
It is so good to be here today, especially because I am absolutely starving.
5
Oh, are you?
6
Well, that is actually perfect for our topic today.
7
Really?
8
What are we talking about?
9
Today, we are learning how to order food and talk at a restaurant.
10
Oh, I love that topic.
11
Eating out is one of my favorite things to do.
12
Me too, Paul.
13
But you know, it can be a little scary for English learners.
14
Yeah, totally.
15
Walking into a new place and looking at a big menu is hard.
16
Exactly.
17
There are so many words, and the servers sometimes talk really fast.
18
Oh yeah, they do.
19
They come to the table and say things like, are you ready to order?
20
Right, and if you are not ready, you might freeze up.
21
Honestly, I still do that sometimes, when I cannot decide what I want to eat.
22
See?
23
Even native speakers get nervous.
24
So today, we will make it super simple.
25
Perfect.
26
Let's start from the very beginning.
27
like when you first walk into the restaurant?
28
Good idea.
29
Usually a person greets you at the door.
30
Right.
31
The host or hostess.
32
What do they usually ask first?
33
They almost always ask, how many in your party, or table for how many.
34
Party.
35
That always sounds funny to new learners, like a birthday party.
36
I know, right?
37
But in a restaurant, party just means your group of people.
38
Exactly.
39
So, if it is just me and you, I would say, table for two, please.
40
Yes, that is the perfect phrase.
41
It is short, polite, and very clear.
42
What if the restaurant is really busy and we need to wait?
43
Oh, that happens a lot on Friday nights.
44
They might say, it will be a 20-minute wait.
45
I hate waiting when I'm hungry.
46
But you can just give them your name.
47
Right.
48
They will say, can I get a name for the list?
49
And then you just say your name and you can sit down and wait.
50
Exactly.
51
Now, let's imagine they take us to our table.
52
Ah, finally.
53
We sit down and the chairs are comfortable.
54
What happens next?
55
Well, the server comes over.
56
Usually they start with a friendly greeting.
57
Yeah, they say something like, Hi, I'm Paul and I'll be your server tonight.
58
Then they immediately ask about drinks.
59
Can I get you started with something to drink?
60
That is a very common phrase, get you started.
61
It just means, do you want this first?
62
Yes, it is very casual.
63
So, Paul, what do you usually order to drink?
64
Just water for me, but I always ask for a little bit of lemon.
65
Nice.
66
In English, you can say, I'll just have a water with lemon, please.
67
What about you, Emily?
68
Do you like soda or juice?
69
I usually like iced tea.
70
But I always have to specify if I want it sweet or unsweetened.
71
Oh, that is a huge thing in America.
72
In the South, sweet tea is everywhere.
73
It really is.
74
So if you just want normal tea, you should say unsweetened iced tea.
75
That is a great tip.
76
So the server takes the drink order and then leaves.
77
Yes, and they give us some time to look at the food menu.
78
OK, so we open the menu.
79
What are the different sections we see?
80
The first section is usually the appetizers.
81
Those are the small plates you eat before the main food.
82
Oh, like French fries or onion rings or chicken wings.
83
Yes, Paul loves his fried food.
84
You can also call them starters.
85
Starters is a very friendly word.
86
Do people share them?
87
Oh, absolutely.
88
It is very common to buy one appetizer for the whole table.
89
Yeah, you can tell the server we are going to share the nachos.
90
That is perfect.
91
Then the server knows to bring extra small plates.
92
Hey, Emily, before we talk about the main food, I think we should talk to our listeners.
93
Oh, you are so right.
94
Time flies when we are talking about food.
95
It really does.

99
And we have a question for you today.
100
What is your favorite restaurant food?
101
Oh, I want to see the answers.
102
Let us know in the comments below.
103
Awesome.
104
Now, let's get back to our restaurant story.
105
The drinks are on the table.
106
Excellent.
107
Now the server comes back and asks the big question.
108
Right.
109
They will say, are we ready to order or do we need a few more minutes?
110
What should a student say if they still cannot decide?
111
Don't panic.
112
Just say, can we have a few more minutes, please? please?
113
That is so easy.
114
The server will smile and say, Sure, take your time.
115
Exactly.
116
But let's say we are ready to order our main dishes.
117
OK, how do I say what I want politely?
118
Do I just say the name of the food?
119
No, just saying burger can sound a little rude.
120
It is better to use a full phrase.
121
Right.
122
You can say, I would like the burger, please.
123
Or, an even shorter way is, I'll have the burger.
124
I'll have is super common, right?
125
It uses the contraction for I will.
126
Yes, we use I'll have all the time.
127
I'll have the chicken salad.
128
Another great one is, can I get the pasta?
129
It is very natural.
130
Yes, can I get is perfect.
131
It is polite but very relaxed.
132
But wait, when you order a burger or a steak, the server will ask more questions.
133
Oh, definitely.
134
If you order a steak, they will ask, how would you like that cooked?
135
That can be tricky.
136
What are the options for that?
137
Well, you can say rare if you like it very red or medium for the middle.
138
And if you want no pink at all, you say, well done.
139
I always get medium.
140
Me too.
141
Medium is a safe choice.
142
What about sides?
143
Oh, right.
144
The server might say, does that come with a side?
145
A side is just the smaller food that goes next to your main dish.
146
Like salad, steamed vegetables, or my favorite, French fries.
147
Always fries with you, Paul.
148
They might say, you can choose a side of fries or a side salad.
149
I will take the fries every single time.
150
No question about it.
151
We know, Paul.
152
Now, what if a learner wants to change something in the dish?
153
Like, what if they don't want onions on their burger?
154
You can just say, can I get the burger without onions, please?
155
Or you can say, no onions, please.
156
That works perfectly, too.
157
Yes, servers are very used to people changing things.
158
It is not a problem.
159
You know, practicing these phrases before you go to a restaurant is a great idea.
160
It really is.
161
And you know who can help you practice anytime?
162
Mr. English AI.
163
Oh, yes.
164
Our smart assistant is amazing for this.
165

166

167
The link is right in the video description, so check it out after the episode.
168
Definitely.
169
It is like having a teacher in your pocket.
170
Exactly.
171
Now, let's imagine the food arrives at our table.
172
Oh, it smells amazing.
173
The server puts the plates down.
174
And they usually ask, is there anything else I can get for you right now?
175
What if we need something extra, like a fork or some ketchup?
176
You can just say, Could I get some ketchup, please?
177
Or, Excuse me, I need a fork.
178
Just make sure to say, Excuse me, to get their attention.
179
Yes, being polite is very important.
180
Always say please and thank you.
181
What if there is a mistake, like what if they bring me a salad instead of my fries?
182
Oh no, the nightmare!
183
No fries for Paul!
184
If that happens, don't worry, you can just say it nicely.
185
How do I say it without sounding angry?
186
You can say, excuse me, I think I ordered the fries, not the salad.
187
Ah, I think I ordered.
188
That is a very soft and polite way to correct them.
189
Exactly.
190
The server will usually say, Oh, I am so sorry.
191
I will fix that right away.
192
That is a relief.
193
No need to feel bad about asking for the right food.
194
Not at all.
195
Now let's fast forward.
196
We finished our delicious meal.
197
Wow, I am so full.
198
That was a lot of food.
199
It was.
200
Now the server will come to clean the table.
201
They usually ask if we want any dessert, right?
202
Yes.
203
They say, did we save room for dessert?
204
Or would you like to see the dessert menu?
205
Even if I am full, sometimes I say yes to chocolate cake.
206
I know your weakness now, Paul.
207
Fried food and chocolate cake.
208
Hey, it is a great combination.
209
But if we are done, we need to pay.
210
Right.
211
To ask for the money paper, you ask for the bill or the check.
212
Are both words okay to use in America?
213
Yes.
214
Bill and check mean the exact same thing in a restaurant.
215
So I can just say, can we get the check, please?
216
Yes, or, check please, while giving a small nod.
217
It is very common.
218
What if friends want to pay separately, like you pay for yours and I pay for mine?
219
That is a very important point.
220
You should tell the server before they print the check.
221
Oh, really?
222
What do we say to them?
223
You can say, can we split the check please?
224
Or separate checks please?
225
Separate checks.
226
That is a great phrase to remember.
227
Yes.
228
If you don't say it, they will just bring one big bill for the whole table.
229
And what about tipping?
230
That is something that confuses a lot of international travelers.
231
Yes.
232
Tipping is a big part of restaurant culture in the United States.
233
How much do people usually leave for a tip?
234
The standard tip is usually 15 to 20 percent of the total bill.
235
Right.
236
You leave it for the server because they took care of you during the meal.
237
Exactly.
238
You can write the tip on the receipt if you pay with a credit card.
239
Or you can just leave cash on the table before you walk away.
240
Yes.
241
Either way is totally fine.
242
Then you are free to leave.
243
Wow.
244
We went from walking in the door to walking out full and happy.
245
We did.
246
It is really not that scary when you know the basic steps.
247
Definitely.
248
Let's do a super quick review of the most important phrases.
249
Okay.
250
To ask for a table, use table for two, please.
251
To order your food, use I'll have or can I get.
252
To ask for the bill, use can we get the check, please?
253
And if you want to pay separately, use separate checks, please.
254
Perfect.
255
If our listeners practice just those four phrases, They will be totally fine.
256
Absolutely.
257
They are the golden phrases for eating out.
258
Well, I think that brings us to the end of our lesson today.
