If a restaurant is crowded and has a long line would you eat there or go somewhere else?

Leave. I hate crowds and the service will probably suck. Not how I want to spend my money. If I really want to try the place, I'll come back during off-hours.

Gosh this is a hard question. Too many variables. How long is the wait. How good is the food. Do i have to stand or can i sit while i wait. Can i have a drink while i wait. Is there a tv or do i have to stare at the walls. Do i have to wait in line that extends outside, and if so, is it raining or clear. How late is it. How hungry am i. How many people am i with. What do they want to do. Whos paying. Do i have to be somewhere at a certain time. Blah blah yap yap nag complain so on so forth.....

I'd bail out immediately.  Ain't nobody got time for that.

Screw that. I'm out of there.

If you live in a large city, you wait for everything, even taking an elevator. In busy restaurants, it's common to wait 30 minutes or more. When I have gone to San Antonio by the Riverwalk, you wait up to 2 hours. Terrible! 

Any time I go to that kind of restaurant, I reserve a table in advance.

I do not do lines.

That photo shows a place that would be torturous for me.  

"Normally, I'd leave."  I don't believe eating should be an ordeal. :))
