Ryan, I am fairly new to Drupal and Ubercart, and don't have any programming backgrounds, just know some html and css

Agree, for most sites, user would like to see the options available at glance, but i am building a restaurant site which would allow users to order online, and for the menu section (product page) I would like to resemble it as close as to a restaurant menu style.

In almost all of the items in menu have options, such as size, choice of meat, custom request, ect.. so having the options presented to users at all time would probably take up too much space?
