Some bars; Brennan's in *cough* Berkeley has cafeteria-style service
(complete with trays!). Isobune along College in Oakland is a sushi-
boat restaurant, I think they'll split checks. Cato's along Piedmont
has the booth in the back where one pays when ordering one's food.

Rolling Dunes is a fried hamburger sandwiches, crepes, and sliced-
cake type of restaurant; there's one on Piedmont, and another around
the  corner from the Grand. Order and pay at the counter, take a number,
food arrives shortly. The Crepevine is another such restaurant, absent
the fried hamburger sandwiches.

Brennan's is very large - always seating available (save St. Patrick's
Day, perhaps). Rolling Dunes doesn't seem to ever seem to get full up.
