Is it normal to order off the kids menu when you're 14.?
I just don't have a very big appetite. I'll order off the adults menu when im especially hungry or theres a dish i really want, but I'm going to the keg tonight and the steak is pretty much the same on the adults menu as on the kids menu. Is it strange for me to order off the kids menu? One time a lady asked me how old i was. Hahaha i told her i was 12. But i feel kind of stupid.

A resturant normally wouldn't deny you ordering off the kids menu. When I managed a resturant and waited tables I had an older couple (late 50's) come in and the wife would always order the kids spegetti. I didn't have a problem with it. I rather they pay a smaller amount if that's what they'll eat then to purchase food that will be thrown away.
The waitress shouldn't have asked you how old you were, that's poor customer service. Just explain to them that your aware it says "10 and under" but your really not hungry and don't want to waste the food. 9 times out of 10 they'll understand and won't have a problem with your order.
I'm 24 and still order off the kids menu! *wink*

I don't think restaurant staff really care if a 14 year old orders off the kids' menu. All they want is something to live off of (wages and tips). It's also not very smart customer service to deny someone an item off that menu just because they're too old.
That said, I'm 24 and I ordered something off the kids' menu a few weeks ago. It was a day before I get paid, just got off work at 1am, no food in the fridge. So I went to a bar-restaurant and asked for their kids' menu. lol

I'm 18 and my mom is 35..we still both order off the kids menu. It's small and healthier. Especially if you are eating fried foods. They've always given me the kids price too until this week someone told me they'd have to charge the adult price but they could give me the kids portion. That didn't go over well - I'm not paying double sometimes triple for way less. Anyway, it's normal you arn't weird.

A lot of places don't allow you to do that unless you're under 12 or 10 or something like that, but if it makes you happy go ahead. My cousin is 16 and she orders off the kids menu most of the time.

Your very smart. The portion on the kids menu is what adults should be eating. If all adults ordered off the kids menu, we might not have an obesity issue.

I am 22 and I still order off the kids menu. Sometimes they charge me an extra dollar, but I don't care. I have a little stomach!

My stepdaughter is 19 and she orders off the kids menu because of the smaller portions. It's a great way to watch your weight.

IF YOU ARE STILL TRAPPED IN THE STATE OF MIND OF A CHILD, THEN GO AHEAD AND ORDER. PERSONALLY THE KIDS MENU IS FOR KIDS. YOU ARE GROWING UP NOW. DO YOU REALLY WANNA BE 18 AND STILL TRYING TO ORDER OFF THE KIDS MENU?. LETS NOT BE IGNORANT OKAY.
