I've waited longer than that enough times to know that nothing good will come of it.
Cold food, warm ice tea and messed up food orders is what happens next. Someone will get the wrong plate, or in fact in a bigger group, completely missed! It's happened to me. Cut your losses and walk.
I understand that staff is short and sometimes the places are busy. I used to be a server 35 years ago, I get it. I also would rather get on with the evening. I'll go through McDonalds if it comes to it. At least I'm fed and can do something else.
