Taking my son to Dinner & a Movie - a Q?

MissLauraQ · March 2011

Picking up Alex after school and taking him out to Dinner & a Movie (diary of a Wimpy Kid, he's been begging for it)

But I'm drawing a blank on where to go for dinner. The movie isn't until 7 pm, so we have time for a sit down meal.

Yes, I know I'm not in Seattle, but I'm not looking for a foodie place - I'm thinking kid friendly.

Applebee's but we go all the time, same with Red Robin - we were just there this weekend.

What would a nearly 10 year old like?

Maybe because it?s ?date night? go a place a bit nicer/grown up.

What?s his favorite food? Any of your chain restaurants are kid friendly (Olive Garden, El Torito, etc)

He's not a picky eater (except Chinese, he only eats the rice)

I thought about El Torito - but we go there too (we go out as a family alot)

Maybe ask him where he would like to go?

MissLauraQ · March 2011

I did - he had no clue

We really like Chipotle. I dont know where you live, but maybe Spaghetti Factory?

Ramono's Macaroni Grill
CPK
Cheesecake Factory
BJ's
Are there other good burger joints in your area? I am blanking on SOCAL non-chain restaurants right now.

a gourmet pizza place? A pizza buffet (cici's or Godfathers)

Places I would think of here: Beth's, Serious Pie, Icon Grill, The Ram, The Rock,
