How to Read the Menu
The official menu is huge, and it changes over time. Dishes come and go, and prices shift from city to city. A restaurant in a big city will usually charge more than one in a small town.
The prices in this guide come from a public menu price list. Treat them as close estimates, and check your local restaurant or the app for the final number.
A good habit is to start with the category you care about. If you came for dessert, jump straight to the cheesecakes. If you want a full meal, begin with pasta or the specialty entrees.
