I have no idea where this place is, so I am unlikely to even go there.

Irrelevent.  Even if it were next door, you're not obligated to give them any service

Thus my reference as to how ridiculous the question posed was in the 1st place

I have no idea where this place is, so I am unlikely to even go there.

I recall years ago, my buddy, Dr Jerry Katz, a psyche professor, and I went to a restaurant named Culpeper's BBQ.
When we got the check, the amount was half the amount shown in the menu. I told Jerry, and he said "don't say anything, just leave a nice tip", so I did.

He explained that they thought we were undercover cops, because the way we were dressed.  We hate a lot of great meals at Culpepers until they raised the rent, closed the restaurant down and replaced it with an Exxon station/convenience store.

It was a good deal: we got a good meal, the waitress got good tips and everyone felt safe.

 
It does not bother me that this place gives 25% off for pistol-packin' patrons. I just think that it is a marketing scheme.

50% off is a lot better than 25%, that is for sure.
I presume that you and your friend were not armed , but you looked like undercover policeman?

Were you in more, or were you in less, risk because your appearance was alike to armed men?

I did not feel I was at risk at all.
We wearing sport coats, ties and chinos. The wait staff drew its own conclusions.

Perhaps we looked formidable to any possible burglars than happened by, but I don't think any did.
I do not know whether all undercover detectives in the County were armed at time. I imagine they were.
The advantage of concealed carry could be that it looks just like no carry.
The BBQ was good and the price was right.

The advantage to CCW is not "looking formidable", the advantage is the bad guy not knowing who, thus not able to target that person(s) immediately.  You passed CCW lesson 101.  Good job
