will the wait be long?

[Maybo]

I go to a restaurant but it is crowded. I'd like to know if the wait for a table will be long.

Can I ask 'Will the wait be long?'

 

[utsavviradiya]

I think you can.

Not a teacher

 

[Amigos4]

Yes.

 

[Tarheel]

Sure. Or:

How long will I have to wait?

 

[emsr2d2]

I'd be inclined to stress yourself rather than the wait:

Will I have to wait long?
How long will I have to wait? (as Tarheel said)
Am I in for a long wait? (This is quite informal and I don't know if it works in any other variant but BrE)

You could forget using "wait" completely and say:

What time will a table be available?
