10 Best Family Restaurants 2011
Who hasn't stopped to get something to eat while running errands with the kids or felt like not cooking one night and piled everyone into the car? To find out where your money buys you the most nutritious food and least stressful experience, Parents analyzed the calories, fat, saturated fat, and sodium on both the kids' and adult menus of more than 150 national restaurant chains. For the places with the most healthy options, we also scrutinized the quality of the ingredients such as whether there was organic milk or antibiotic-free chicken. Then we considered conveniences like call-ahead seating, online ordering, crayons to keep kids busy, and high chairs and boosters. Let us show you to the most family-friendly tables in America.

I'm not comfortable feeding my child Red Lobster due to the high amount of antibiotics they use in farming their shrimp. Their aquaculture ponds are killing the coral reefs off of Central America. Please consider removing Red Lobster from the list of restaurants that are good for kids, or at least noting that what they serve is neither sustainably-farmed, nor is it antibiotic-free. Thanks!

My kids are adolescents now but they still love to draw on the paper sheet that the table is covered with when we dine there - not to mention the build your own pasta, and their original chef's favorites. My favorite is the Shrimp Portofino - original style. Oh! And the one on Stephanie in Henderson, NV occasionally hires a magician or balloonist that kids enjoy in addition to a opera-style singer they usually have who entertains their guests.

They have lots of protein options ranging from beef and Turkey to Shrimp and Scallops. They even have Tofu. They also have tons of fresh veggies to choose from. Kids get to pick their own ingredients and then they can watch as the grill masters cook their food on the large round grill and do tricks with the big flames. www.genghisgrill.com
