Going out to eat with toddlers

If you tend to eat "real" food, what do you do about going out to eat with your LOs?

I try not to obsess about food too much and despite my efforts to feed my family "real" food (I use quotations because it is such a subjective term, but you get my gist) at home I know I can't expect DS to never try some junk and I don't panic if he has to have a bite of something he wouldn't normally have at home.

I guess my question is more like where do you eat when in a pinch--like when time got away and you didn't come prepared with food for LO--so you need something fast and reasonably priced that won't leave you feeling like you might get food poisoning? (FWIW, DS is not picky he just can't eat wheat/grains due to eczema, I'm the picky one lol.)

    I usually make sure he eats at home,before us going to eat out or some times I made him a onigiri (a rice ball with vegetable in side)and feed him at the restaurant.or I will bring some fruits to give it to him,but I usually make sure he eats before us.

    I buy those organic squeeze fruit/veggie mixes and bring them along. We typically don't eat fast food but diners or family restaurants. We try to get healthier options but if they want chicken fingers pizza or pancakes we just let them have that as we don

    We like chipotle for quick meals. Also alot of grocery stores have good food courts. Sometimes I just go to wegmans and get something if we don't want to cook or go out.

    We almost never eat out. How about sushi or Vietnamese? Any ethnic cuisine really.

    I've asked restaurants to chop me up a chicken breast before, when they haven't had anything kid friendly. I've also ordered chopped up tomato for myself. Places with bars usually have some chopped up fruit to use as garnishes and I've asked for some. <br

    We've found a few local places that have really fresh, home made food. Although it's probably not as "real" as what we eat at home (i.e. no processed food), at least it's better than most. We also go to places that have really good salad bars, like Rub
