Quite a broad question, but here goes:
1) Know where you're going as in make sure you know how to get to the restaurant.
2) Make sure you have enough money to pay for your meal.
3) If you have special dietary needs, you may want to find out whether the restaurant can accommodate you.
4) Call to see if reservations are needed or else you may end up showing not and having to either wait a long time to be seated or you're just out of luck.
5) Make sure that the restaurant is still in business before you make the trek there.
6) Once at the restaurant, be polite and friendly with the wait staff and more than likely, they will give you good service in return.
7) Don't be afraid to ask questions about the food on the menu. Better to get more info than miss out on what may be a great meal.
8) Be sure to tip accordingly. Good service is probably around 15%. Great to excellent service should probably be between 18% to 20%. Of course, if you're in a larger group of 8 or more, sometimes a gratuity of 18% to 20% is automatically added to your check. If it isn't and you got superb service from the wait staff, than don't be stingy, tip them in the 18% to 20% range anyway.
I'm sure there's more I've forgotten, but for now, that's it for me.

Cash, Clothes, Shoes, Clean-up before you go out. Pre-order in your mind, fish or chicken or steak. Unless fast food, then just look at the pictures at Mcdonalds and order by number.
What time you want to dine out? Breakfast? 24 hours at Jack in The Box! Lunch at lunch time.
