In 1920 a dollar bought you about 10-12 times of what you can buy with it today. On the other hand, the production and transport of foodstuffs among others is done much more efficiently (and consequently often much cheaper) than is was 100 years ago.

So much depends on which restaurant food in which part of the country you would be comparing. To stay on the safe side, you might assume that the bill would be five to six times as low as it is today.
