    I say "get it to go" usually if it's a "nicer" restaurant that I would actually sit in and enjoy on occasion or "take out" for everywhere that you don't "eat in".

    Pretty much interchangeable to me.

    I would say "let's get (restaurant name) take-out"

    I would say "let's go to (restaurant name) and get it to go"

    Carryout is for pizza. Takeout is Chinese food. To go is for Taco Bell, I guess?

    Ha.....

    I think take away is primarily a British thing.

    Fast food will ask if it's for here or to go.

    Most people here say take out if they're going to get food from what would otherwise be a sit down restaurant...but a lot of the signage at the restaurant will say carryout only parking or "carryout" over a particular register.
