Depends of whether they are wearing masks, and if they would"sneeze on you". That good velocity sneeze stuff travels for 12 ft and has been documented to live in the air for 3 minutes. Masks are good...real good. No masks plus sneeze, real "not so good".
Will you eat in an enclosed Restaurant when the door's open?

No one had a mask on which I decided to leave.

Probably, depending on the place. If I feel they have done all they can to take proper precautions and all that. My routine over the last year, has been to take myself out for a meal once a month or so. I would like to do that again.
I am not sure about buffets, but a clean sit down restaurant, why not. I think I would frequent more of the mom and pop places which have suffered.

Went to O'Charley's today and it looked the same like always. No plastic walls. Everybody was wearing rubber gloves and masks. How can you eat with a mask on? I didn't stay just looked.

i agree with one of the other posters. not until there's a vaccine for this and if it proves to be safe. however, i've been hearing rumors about other viruses that may be similar and coming down the pike in the future. since we get kept in the dark when things are going down, i might just stick with dining at home or doing carry out or delivery.
Just make a hole in the mask so you can eat and stay protected. The hole allows you to eat & the mask lets Coronas know they aren't welcome.

The people inside the restaurant was mainly young and I did see one person that looked like he was in his 60's or older.
Thinking one of the reasons the mortality numbers for the oldsters these days are lower is because we stay in and mind our social distancing whenever possible. The younger folks naturally want to get out more and congregate. It is what it is. Probably the real weak link is with the kids grandkids - and the grandparents not practicing social distancing with them.

Yes, we probably will go out to restaurants when they reopen. I'm tired of living in fear, and this self-isolation is getting on my nerves.

I ate inside a restaurant today; it was just too hot to eat outside. There were only two other tables occupied in the whole place. LIke C'est Moi, I'm just tired of it all. If I die, I'll die with a smile on my face because I enjoyed a good meal. Although it's Cinco de Mayo, I wasn't in the mood for Mexican food, so I ate at a Turkish place.

I don't go out that much as a rule, but this is becoming difficult now. If I had a dependent or were responsible for an aging parent, I'd be crackers by now with the pressure!
When my friends and I yak on the phone (while checking up on each other), we moan and vow-
"As soon as places re-open, we're going out for lunch, or dinner". But really, I think we'll wait a week or two and see how things go.
We're not interested in fast food. We got our stimulus checks, so we want to go to some nicer places. We can flip burgers at home.
What we need is to be together, see other people, talk and laugh over something a little special..
We may open CT fully by May 20th, except for schools.
Yeah, we want to be special, but not foolish.

I'm with @RadishRose. The strain is starting to wear on me, but no so much that I'm willing to be foolhardy or a canary in the coal mine.
Hubby and I have endured it this long and will continue for a few weeks after things open up.

I would agree.
And I am not a senior nor at high risk but my grandpa is 96 and I care about him more than anything.
I will only go once it is truly safe. Not just for me, but for him as well.
I will NOT be relying on a politician to tell me when it is safe.
I will let science be my guide (which I have some background in).
I will educate myself, by checking selecting various sources based on their credibility and objectivity, not by their reporting of what I want to hear, or validating my beliefs, political or otherwise.
Until then, I will spend more time cooking, I will order curbside and delivery, and I will go to drive-ins!
I didn’t grow up with drive-ins being a primary method of dining like some of you, but I always enjoyed going, and it would be so cool to see these make a resurgence, if there’s anything good that can come out of this horrible situation.
