Going out to eat with toddlers and young children can be stressful for parents. By the time the food arrives, the kids are tired of sitting still.
Whether you're on a trip or around town, buffet restaurants are often a great option when dining out with kids. Trip Advisor can help you find restaurants offering buffet style dining, no matter where you are.
Chain buffet restaurants including Cici's Pizza, Golden Corral, Hibachi Grill, Old Country Buffet and Shoney's can be found when you're on a trip with a search on your iPad or iPhone.
Instead of trying to entertain the kids while waiting for the food to come, the food is ready and waiting for you to serve yourself.
Instead of buying an overpriced kid's meal that your child may or may not eat, many buffets let kids eat free or at a discounted price.
Instead of parents taking turns eating and walking with kids who are done with their food, the whole family can gather together at the table.
Buffet restaurants are also a great place to get kids to try new foods. Instead of ordering an entire plate of a new food, you can add a small portion to your child's plate.
From pizza to meatloaf, burgers and hot dogs to spaghetti, and salads to desserts, your child can choose from many favorite foods at a buffet restaurant.
The variety of foods at a buffet restaurant also allows parents to enjoy their meal. Unlike fast food restaurants, parents can eat a real meal with meat and vegetables.
The more varied the choices on the buffet, the more likely picky eaters will eat a healthy meal without a fuss.
Many Chinese restaurants offer a variety of foods, including American favorites like macaroni and cheese, pizza, and a variety of vegetables.
At lunchtime, many restaurants feature buffets. One of the favorites for kids of all ages is Pizza Hut, with a weekday lunch buffet that includes salad, breadsticks, pasta, pizza and dessert.
Good food at reasonable prices with a variety of selections is the trademark of most buffet restaurants. If you haven't tried eating buffet style with your kids, you should try it the next your family decides to eat dinner at a restaurant. You may never go back to fast food.
