usual

azzMember

If every time they come to my restaurant they order the same things could I say:
a. Last night, they ordered what they usually order.
b. Last night, they ordered the usual meals.
?

I think those sentences work in that context. The problem I have is that as far as I can see those sentences don't necessarily mean they always order the same things. They might be used even if there are exceptional cases.

Am I correct?

Many thanks.

Yes, that's the meaning I get from 'usual' and 'usually'.
