Today, I'll talk about how to order food in a restaurant in the United States! We'll review helpful phrases, cultural tips about tipping, and how to ask for a takeaway box. Plus, we'll practice fluency with a mini-story.

Understanding the Menu

When you go to a restaurant in the U.S., you'll usually get a menu that's divided into sections:

Appetizers – small dishes served before the main course.

Entrées – are your main dishes.

Sides – small portions of your meal, like fries or salad.

Desserts – sweet treats to end your meal!
