A casual eatery is a type of restaurant that offers a relaxed atmosphere and a simple menu, making it accessible for a wide range of diners. These establishments often focus on comfort food, such as burgers, sandwiches, and salads, and typically have a more informal dining experience compared to fine dining restaurants. Casual eateries may feature self-service options or counter service, allowing customers to order and pay quickly. They often cater to families, friends, and individuals looking for a convenient meal without the formality of a traditional restaurant. Popular examples include diners, cafés, and bistros.
