Favorite resturants....?!?!

[2ndChanceHeth 15]

I KNOW I can always order anything on the menu and ask they bring a to go box at the beginning..... However I want to take advantage of my "I can order children's menu items " card.... So please share with me what restaurants have good children's menus. Like I know Joe's Crab Shack has a children's crab pot, but a lot of other restaurants have chicken fingers and hot dogs.... Can I please have your input as to what restaurants have children's menus that reflect the rest of their food?

I've never ordered from a kid's menu for that very reason. I usually order a side or appetizer. My kids used to order chicken and broccoli kids meal at Olive Garden, don't know if they still offer that. I usually order the chicken speidini small plate.

Red Robin. I was there today. They have grilled chicken on a stick and small.salads on the children's menu. Was.really good. Still took 1/2 home even from child's menu. However, so far that menu has had the healthiest choices.

Are you able to eat salad?

Believe it or not, Denny's, LOL. They have grilled chicken and steamed veggies on their kids menu, and also offer a grand slam where you get to chose what you want - I will get an egg with some sausage or ham.

Another good place is Chili's. They also have some pretty healthy options on the kids menu.

Call ahead, though - there are a lot of restaurants that won't let you order off the kids' menu - even with your card.

Have not yet tried- I do have go ahead from doc to try it but I can only tolerate about 4-5 of anything so I'm try to pack in my protein!

You could also check out some tapas restaurants in your area - I don't know of any chains, but at least where I live those types of "small plate" restaurants are popping up all over. Some of them are insufferably trendy, others are a lot more comfortable

Ruby Tuesday's has some good choices.. Perkins for Breakfast has eggwhite omelettes or eggbeaters omelettes..

I go to Boston Market a lot. You can order a senior plate -- at any age. I prefer to get a regular chicken Market Bowl in a to-go bowl. Eat half at restaurant and take the rest home.
