Many times I see boys, young men and mature men come into a restaurant and they don't take off their hat. Most have the baseball hat on but I've seen some older guys with the fashionable fedora hat on their head and they neglect to take it off too.
All hats must come off in a restaurant to show good manners. Whether it is a diner, fast food or family restaurant all hats on men should be removed. The rule is mostly tradition but it is a custom that has been important for many years.
Teach children at home to prepare for mealtime by taking off their hat and combing their hair. Most everyone remembers to wash their hands but coming to the table prepared will show respect for the person that has cooked the meal. A nice appearance at mealtime teaches children that a family meal is important and they should prepare for the time together.

Tradition states that women can leave their hats on inside a restaurant or building. However, sometimes country clubs have a rule that women must take off their golf hats inside the club. Rules are rules.
