When I was dating the girl who is now my wife, in high school, we could go to dinner at Pizza Hut, split a medium 2-toppings (different on each half), drinks, tax and tip. Then we went to a movie across the street at the theater. All for $20. Lol. Pizza hut was a nice clean sit down place with sizzling hot food.
Same here and it was full of people on dates doing the same.
