Lately this has been happening to me a lot. I've ordered a food the restaurant was out of. When the server came back to tell me this information, he or she didn't bring along a menu. "What would you like instead?" I don't know! I need a menu to figure this out. Do you have a second choice when you're out? Cause I usually don't.

Yes! Either that or I walk out!

20 year server here...they should bring you a menu. That's only common sense. But humans being humans, we're not perfect and some times make a mistake. I would just kindly ask to see a menu...then if they didn't bring me one I'd adjust the tip or speak to a manager. I'd never leave because of it though. Why should I further disrupt my life by having to get in the car, drive to another restaurant, to start the whole dining out thing over again. Maybe I'm just to easy going.

Unless you go to a " corner restaurant " place, the server always brings the menu. When something is out, he's supposed before hand and let you know, therefore give you back the menu!

That's just laziness. They should be able to recommend something similar and bring you a menu. I never have a second choice because I'm not ordering 2 dinners.

Yes. They need to bring a menu along. Maybe they think since they're out of what you wanted, you will leave?

Yes, you'd think they'd come back with a menu so they don't have to go back again for one.

i think they should give you a menu but i guess they assume you know the menu which is stupid
