One additional point: the longer the last part, the more the tendency to move "like" forward, so that it does not get lost at the end. For example,
A) What is the food like in that restaurant you went to last night after work?
B) What is the food in that restaurant you went to last night after work like?
Here, A is preferable. However, your sentences are nice and short.
