Understanding Casual Vs Fast Casual Dining

Casual Dining

• Atmosphere: Casual dining restaurants typically offer a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. They may have a sit-down service with servers attending to customers’ needs.
• Menu: Casual dining menus often feature many options, including appetisers, entrées, desserts, and sometimes alcoholic beverages. The food quality is generally considered higher than fast food, but not as upscale or gourmet as fine dining.
• Price: Prices at casual dining restaurants are typically moderate, with meals costing more than fast food but less than fine dining establishments.
• Examples: Restaurants like Applebee’s, Chilli’s, TGI Fridays, and Olive Garden are examples of casual dining establishments.

Fast Casual Dining

• Atmosphere: Fast casual dining offers a middle ground between fast food and casual dining. The atmosphere is often more modern and upscale than fast food restaurants but less formal than casual dining establishments. Customers typically order at a counter and then have their food brought to them or pick it up when ready.
• Menu: Fast casual restaurants usually offer freshly prepared food with higher-quality ingredients than fast food chains. The menu may feature items like salads, sandwiches, wraps, and bowls, often with customised options. Some fast casual restaurants may also serve beer or wine.
• Price: Prices at fast casual restaurants are generally higher than fast food but lower than casual dining. Customers can expect to pay a bit more for the quality and freshness of the food.
• Examples: Chipotle Mexican Grill, Panera Bread, Shake Shack, and Five Guys Burgers and Fries are examples of fast casual dining establishments.

In summary, casual dining offers a relaxed atmosphere with table service and a diverse menu, while fast casual dining provides a more modern and upscale environment with quick counter service and freshly prepared, higher-quality food options.

Victoria Palma says-Definitely the best restaurant in Gold Coast! The best burger I have ever had in my life 😍😍 the service couldn’t be better, the staff is very friendly, the cocktails are incredible! They arrived very quickly to our table. We really enjoyed our visit, with the best food and atmosphere, very good music! I will definitely return. I highly recommend it, a mandatory stop if you come to the Gold Coast.

Michael Bergemeister says- Been wanting to visit for a while, aware of the mixed reviews. I had a Kevin Bacon which is a quadruple smashed patty Bacon cheeseburger, with chips for $25. All together with the coke it was $30. I did enjoy the burger and the chips were hot, crispy and well seasoned. Service was friendly and welcoming. Nicely decorated, music is great if you like what’s playing, otherwise too loud. Well stocked bar, it feels more boozy lunch/ dinner than a family affair but I did say service is friendly.
