Eating out with kids can sometimes be both frustrating and expensive. If there’s no entertainment for the kids at the restaurant, you may be in for a less than relaxing meal plus, eating out with the family can be tough on a budget. Nonetheless, there are those nights when you just don’t feel like cooking or you’re already out and it’s just easier to grab dinner somewhere. Instead of heading for the typical fast food joint, here are some different options:
RED ROBIN
 A casual dining restaurant chain, serving an extensive selection of high-quality, gourmet burgers, as well as salads, soups, appetizers, entrees, desserts and signature beverages in a family-friendly atmosphere. All kids’ meals are under $4.50 and include an entrée, side item, drink, coloring menu, crayons, and a balloon. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, from 6-8pm, kids will enjoy coming out to meet the Red Robin mascot.
