I agree! Sometimes, actually alot of times lately I have found the music in restaurants to be way too loud!

Yes, it should turn down the volume of the music down a little bit but not too much.

Absolutely! Many times When I go to a restaurant I want to have a conversation with others, and loud music interferes with that.

TSMIV · 10-30-2019, 10:21 AM

YES!

Agreed. It always seems to happen when I'm out with a friend who I haven't seen in a while and I'm trying to catch up. It's incredibly annoying having to shout over the music to each other.

This is a reason why I usually avoid eating at restaurants and prefer having meals in the quietness of my home. At restaurants, aside from the loud crappy music, sometimes there's other BS going on that you also have to put up with, so having meals at home is the much preferred option.

I ate at a sandwich shop a while back and the music was way too loud. I said I was never going back. I see the sandwich is no longer there. I also read that some restaurants keep the place too cool or the music loud so you won't stay too long after you eat.

Yes, some places are worse than others. We went to Tilted Kilt and not only was the music loud, there were several large screen TV's blasting out different sports. I won't go there again.

Famous Dave's plays music really loud but I don't mind because they play The Blues (which I love). But they could turn it down a notch.

The music is loud so the diners are spared having to hear people belching and farting.

That's funny, I hadn't thought of that.

Music in stores or restaurants should be kept to a level where you can actually hear the music and hum along, but it should not be loud enough to force you to raise your voice in order to have a conversation.

I despise televisions being on while dining out. Some restaurants have ten or fifteen different screens on, all on different channels, usually depressing news channels or sports. Who can eat while watching the deplorable state of the world on a huge screen in front of you? I avoid dining out in places such as this, because the multiple screens are too distracting. It irks me when I'm dining out and the people I'm with keep staring at the TV screens while I'm attempting to have a converstation with them, or worse yet, their smart phones!!!

Yes, but they should also ask people not to talk so loud when they are at adjacent tables. That is more annoying to me than loud music.

The loud music is why I rarely eat at Texas Roadhouse.
