I've noticed that just about any place with decent food and counter service seems to do brisk business. Look at the crowd at Chipotle or Panera at lunchtime. Maybe some people want a server some of the time, but in an era when fewer and fewer people cook, at least as many people want decent food at a decent price. Eliminating a 20% tip plus the cost of the server's benefits and wages baked into the bill helps with the price bit.
