A tip would be make sure you can get a spot in the back if your kids are loud.
we make sure our phones are charged and ready for action
My tip is go where they offer kid’smeals
My tip is to go at off peak dinner time so you and the kids don’t have a long wait for food
Go where it’s healthier
Always make sure to have little things to play with or coloring pads to keep them entertained before food arrives.
Go where food is served quickly
Bring your activities to keep them busy!
My advice is to find somewhere with fast service. If kids are eating, they won’t be bored
Sedatives. Kidding… sort of. 😉 I make sure the kids have some sort of snack, either before we go in or if it’s a restaurant we’re familiar with we ask for crackers or applesauce or something for them to munch on while the rest of the meal is being prepared. Also, crayons and paper placemats are awesome.
