eating establishments
Places serving food
Places where food is prepared and served to customers for consumption on the premises.
The term is deliberately generic, encompassing restaurants, diners, cafeterias, food courts, and any other venue where people pay to eat.
It appears most often in official contexts—health codes, zoning regulations, business licenses—where precision matters more than style: All eating establishments must display their inspection grades.
