No, they have time after they close the dining area to close the kitchen down.

Business hours are just that, times when they should conduct business.

rule of thumb. Never go to a restaurant within 15 minutes of closing. I know they are open until 8 or whatever, but as common courtesy I try not to roll up into a restaurant right before close. They are all ready to close up, and the last thing they wanna do is make your ass food in a well prepared manner h:

Who the fuck cares about presentation? Eat the fucking food. Want presentation, go to a fancy $200/plate restaurant.

I used to hate those people who would come in under 15 minutes to close and order the most complicated thing on the menu every time, or even worse a party order

i went to an Indian restaurant that was open for another hour. they said i could only get takeout cause they didn't want to wait for me and my 3 friends to finish eating, so they could go home. i fucking lost it and flipped out on them. my friends calmed me down and we went next door to a shitty "high class pub". got done in a half hour and i went back to the Indian restaurant h: lets just say i can't go there anymore.

Yup. Unless your server was in cool with the kitchen, you could forget about any complicated meals coming out on-time or at all.
