I would serve Home Style meals, not fancy stuff. Roasts, with all the trimmings, Rissoles and Mash, Beef Stew, Traditional Shepherds Pie, Salmon/Tuna Patties. Bangers and Mash.
Apple Pie, Wine Trifle, Cheesecake, Baked Pudding, Rhubarb Crumble, Pavlova.
Restaurant would be called, Granma's Home Cooking
 

Old fashioned homestyle comfort food in a farm setting with high volume, big portions, low prices.

Sunday dinner all day, every day.

Plenty of gravy, biscuits, and pie, lots of pie! 😊

We could call it Aunt Bea’s Chat ‘n’ Chew or the Squat ‘n’ Gobble!

On the other hand why waste money on a sign, if it’s good people will find it.

Home style food with gravy, fried potatoes in bacon grease. Chicken served with its crispy skin nothing broiled and a lot of deep fried foods. I would put out a sign saying, "If you are looking for healthy eating don't stop here, if you want flavor, come on in."

I find I'm unable to buy skin-on chicken anymore. Everything is skinless. Bad for soup because the skin has a lot of flavor!
Can you still buy it where you live?
 
It's tough to serve what I would want . Costs are so high.

At first I thought seafood then steakhouse. Cost prohibitive there too.

This is a bad time to even think about opening a restaurant.
My Sign would have to read:
The you can't afford to eat here Restaurant
​
I'll be eating at Bea's

I would serve a buffet, like Tomatoes in Florida, only the food will be organic and there will be meat.

-The salad bar will be filled with fresh lettuce, spinach, vegetables, crunchy tuna and chicken salads, broccoli salad, cherry tomatoes, green peppers, and cucumber and carrot slices, onion slices, olives, and cheese crumbles.
-Soups will include chicken noodle, clam chowder, potato soup, bean soup, lentil soup, and vegetable soup
-Fish section includes fried shrimp, baked salmon
-Meats section include fried chicken, roast turkey slices, hamburgers and meatloafs (from grass-fed beef).
-Bread section includes pizza slices, plenty of rolls, muffins, and cornbread
-Potatoes section includes baked sweet potato, baked potato, mashed potatoes (and all the trimmings)
-The Drinks section includes coffee, tea, sodas, and juices
-Dessert section includes chocolate cake, brownies, apple pie, vanilla and chocolate ice creams (hard and soft) with strawberry, fudge, and caramel toppings

Phew! I'm full just writing this down. I always liked eating at buffets, but have not eaten in one in years because my eyes are bigger than my stomach, and I would get up feeling stuffed (and that's never a good feeling!)

We had the same thing here in my hometown, only it was called 'Sweet Tomatoes'
Salad bar, soups, desserts, drinks.

Good stuff.
 
Maybe ethnic foods with a different ethnicity every day. It might be tough to find a chef who could prepare all different kinds of foods, though.

There's a really good, although expensive, French restaurant here in Denver. We've had some good Mexican restaurants, but one will be good for a while and then the food will go downhill after a few years for some reason. I'm going to eat at a good Mediterranean restaurant tomorrow.

When I rode my motorcycle around the country I used to search out restaurants that served home cooked meals. You could find them but they were not easy to find.
