I am sure that there are restaurants that you go into that you order the same thing..no matter what.

• True New York Pizza...Large Cheese Pie
• Pho...(any one)...Large #1...it is the same where ever you go, meat combination
• Jimboy's Tacos...beef taco
• Taco's El Rey...Fish Taco
• Costco..Hot dog/soda combo

As crazy as this sounds, the Costco hotdog and soda combo may be the most popular meal in the US.

 

[VickiK]

There's a local doughnut place...turkey banh mi sandwich, mild, on a French roll. If they have it, a French cruller.
Costco hot dog deal
Mickey D's fries

Here's the next level... I went into the local pizza/sub shop often enough for lunch for quite a while that I didn't even need to order. I'd sit down and they would just bring me my food.

Philly cheese-chicken plain, fries, diet Coke

^^^^ When they were young, my kids used to talk about how they wanted to be so much part of a neighborhood that they'd just walk into a place and only have to say "the usual".

I think it's the millenials' unarticulated desire for lost community.

The neighborhood I lived in in Wisconsin had a supper club on the main road. I’d barely get through the door and Neil (the bartender) would be mixing an Old Fashioned, which was waiting for me by the time I made it to the bar. Sorta miss those days — and the onion rings and relish tray.

Two of the Starbucks in town know my drink.

Orchid Asian Bistro ... Panang curry with shrimp

Los Dos Potrillos has 27 oz margaritas. That's a Usual, but I vary which one.


Years ago in the DC area, friends had a certain pizza place they called for their Usual delivery. One evening, the guy took the order then said "you're eating late tonight". They started to question their habits.

Mine too and I know their names too

I know.most of their names too. One of them is across the street from the hospital where I work, and I've been going there for so long....

 

[Jim McDonald]

I have two lunch regulars where I don't need to order:
Muna -- 4 pieces of chicken tikka & a plain nan
Koshu Ichiba -- salty ramen, light on dumplings, extra spinach

A frequent weekend stop:
Tea Style -- pot of Earl Grey & a plain waffle

Maybe. although when I was young, that was also a life goal of mine, and I'm no millennial.

I worked in a diner, I forget where, that had a menu item called "the usual," so anyone could feel a part of the community as long as they liked whatever it was (something basic like 2 eggs, toast and bacon).

Back when I was a drinker, there were a couple bars in town that would have my drink sitting on the bar waiting for me by the time I reached my stool. Probably not a good sign.

One of my favorite finds of recent years was this coffee shop I stumbled upon during a walkabout in Osaka; the name is literally The Usual Place
