We do not have a Houston's here in Tulsa. I have been to some jackets required dining spots and the food was plain awful. What do dress codes have to do with food quality. Somehow, i have trouble associating dress codes with food quality. Unless you have spent too much time at that dive or that fish shack down the way. ![]() Some women really should not bare that midriff or squeeze into those daisy dukes. And the women need to be cognizant of what they are wearing also. Maybe they should have two hats, one for everyday and another for stepping out.Ībout the tank tops, okay for the dive bar or that little fish shack down the way. But a good southern upbringing taught otherwise. If someone wants to keep that nasty dirty baseball hat on, it is their choice. It was the gentlemanly thing to do (and still is for me). My brother and I were both trained to remove any and all headgear when entering a room. I appreciate no cell phones when dining, I guess this is a hangover from my childhood, when the television was turned off during the meal so we could talk about the days events with no interruptions.Īs to hats, I do not understand how so many males have had such bad upbringing. But it seems their corporate hq is Arizona. Actually, I found very little information at all. I found nothing about dress codes at the Houston's web site. That said, houston's is a place of business and it has the right to set the rules. what you're wearing makes absolutely no difference to me unless you somehow smell or are rubbing up against me. it it's the latter, i let voicemail pick up.Īs an aside, i've never been able to understand why the attire of others offends people, unless maybe it's at a funeral or place of worship where you're paying homage to a higher power such as the dead or god. also, people don't need to be slaves to their cell phone many people i know would be stunned to find out that if i'm in the middle of something and my phone rings, i make a split-second decision about which is more imporant, the phone call or what i'm doing. if people would talk on cell phones at ordinary volume, it would be the same as having a normal conversation and few of us would be bothered. the real problem is that people with ordinary voices feel the need to scream at the top of their lungs. Or their weekend itinerary.etc.Ĭell phones are now ubiquitous and people who are bothered by them need to get on board the 21st century. I would happily support any cellular-free zone: It's hard to be sociable and linger over dinner having philosophical/emotional conversations when I'm an unwilling third party in a loud conversation about someone's job plans. Or will the dining public be so affronted by the temerity, the chutzpah, of this chain, that they will rebel and do the exact opposite, in effect saying, "wear whatever you wish but come to eat here!" ? Will others follow suit (poor choice of word, of course!! )? So, how do you feel about what Houston's has done with their new policy? ![]() This ought to elicit all manner of opinions, both pro and con. Signs painted on the doors, or wording printed on menus, admonish male patrons on how to dress and all customers on how to handle their cellphones in the restaurant. Or, in some cases, anyone wearing cut-off shorts.įor reasons company officials decline to explain, Houston's has instituted a dress-and-etiquette code at restaurants across the country. or even a small boy wearing a baseball cap. not the kind of place you'd want to visit – or be allowed to visit: Houston's, a 27-year-old upper-end, casual dining chain.
