Frequently Asked Questions

Q: So...what's this site all about?

A: Mark's Menus is a website devoted to individual dishes - not just restaurants. We invite you to join the discussion about the different menu items, use the site to compare menus at restaurants, and participate in entering in your favorite local eatery, whether it be the greasy spoon on the corner or your favorite date spot. Tell us about it - others want to know!

Q: I don't see my favorite menu item from my favorite restaurant listed! Can you add it?

A: No, but you sure can! Simply click the "Edit this Page" link at the top of the screen and you can add your favorite menu item.

Q: My favorite restaurant isn't on your site yet.

A: Click the "Add a new restaurant" button and you can enter it yourself!

Q: When I signed up you asked for my email address. I'm not about to get flooded with spam, am I?

A: Not because of us! We are not in the business of selling email addresses and we will NOT spam your inbox.


Restaurateurs
