Separate checks makes for good friends IMHO.
I have never understood the whole spilt a check concept. I have been with a group that I was not friends with, just work related people in various departments that had a meal after a football game was played. No announcement was made that the bill would be split. I was not particularly impressed with the food from prior dining. At the end I was expected to split a bill and all I got was a lousy bowl of chili for $5 while everyone else got $15-20 meals with pitchers of beer. I don't drink alcohol so I offered to pay for my chili but I could tell the group was not liking it. Rather than risk workplace fallout, I paid the share and I have skipped the post game get together if a certain ringleader who usually suggests the idea is present.
