This study aimed to validate the five dimensions of DINESERV and evaluate service quality of foreign-brand, casual dining restaurants in Korea using DINESERV. It was hypothesized that DINESERV is a valid instrument in the Korean culture, and service quality differs significantly based upon customers' characteristics and restaurants. The factor analysis indicated that (1) tangibles had three subdimensions, and (2) responsiveness had a substantial overlap with assurance. Restaurants in the chain displayed significantly different service qualities. Gender, average spending, and dining occasions significantly impacted the perceptions of service quality.
