The Restaurant Effect 

Subconsciously drinking water at a restaurant while the waiter refills the glass, resulting in a continuous need to use the bathroom throughout the meal.

This is most often seen in nervous people on first dates
Joe: I drank so much water before she arrived! And when she did, I had to leave to go to the bathroom four times during dinner! She probably thinks I'm so weird...

Steve: don't worry man, you were just suffering from the restaurant effect. It could have happened to anyone!

Restaurant Hungry 

When you are starving but upon arrival to the eating establishment you find yourself not as hungry or full.
Peter - "Jill why haven't you eaten any of your food I thought you were starving?"

Jill - "I was but I'm restaurant hungry"

Peter "Ok get a to go box"

Restaurantica 

Chill out music that was popular in dimly lit Tapas Bars in the late 1990s. Popular restaurantica artists include Kruder & Dorfmeister, Massive Attack, Moby, RJD2, Thievery Corporation, and Suzanne Vega.
This restaurantica is the perfect soundtrack while I drink my martini and eat my spring rolls.

Restaurant Recon 

Pulling into a restaurant parking lot, and sending a passenger into the restaurant to find out the wait time for a table while the driver sits in the car.
Driver: Do some restaurant recon to see if they can seat us tonight.
*TWO MINUTES LATER*
Recon Agent: An hour wait, let's get out of here.

Restaurant Theory 

An across-the-room connection with a girl or guy, where you know you'll likely never encounter them again. You want to talk or flirt with them but you don't, it just stays a subtle connection. Unless it's all in your head
Bro I just had this restaurant theory with a chick who looked like the dragon queen from game of thrones!

Man that ugly girl was just eye-fucking the shit out of me, she probably thought we were having the old restaurant theory. God bless her!

cow and pickle restaurant 

The Cow and Pickle Restaurant was found on November 11th, 2008. The restaurant was based on a fast food theme and had a low cost motto.

Great food, fast service, and for some reason, they have a picture of a giant pickle and a cow painted on their wall.
'The Cow and Pickle Restaurant! Now you can eat AND pay rent!'

Restaurant 

A place where you work after you have given up on your dreams. The restaurant industry, second only to organized crime, is responsible for the most ruined lives of any profession. Your role in a restaurant largely determines your quality of life. For instance, the average hostess or busboy will be less depressed than the average waiter or manager. And the average cook has killed 7 people in his life. If you think that any restaurant is sanitary, even the most fine dining establishments, you are dumber than the felon cooks who finger your food with cocaine and germ-covered hands. Moving up in a restaurant means moving down in life, so if one ever finds themselves working in a restaurant, they should use their tips to buy a handgun, and shoot themselves right in front of a table that just began eating.
Zach: I do research at the local university, what do you do?

Nick: I am a server at a restaurant.

Zach: Oh...I'm sorry
