We asked our audience what annoys them about eating out and got several comments from diners, servers, and bartenders. Check out some of the most popular annoyances below and chat with us on our app to let us know what bothers you when you’re eating out.

10 Rude Things People Do In Minnesota Restaurants

Customers and servers chimed in with several complaints but the top response was kids ruining the restaurant experience. You've seen it is – kids kicking, screaming, and running everywhere in restaurants.

The second biggest complaint from diners and servers was people being too loud on their cell phones. No one wants to hear you talking on the phone. If you must take a call, excuse yourself from the dining area.
