The Familyman Best of Travel

Best Family Restaurant —

1. Cracker Barrel (make sure you each get a 10 cent candy stick and sit on the front porch after the meal)
2. Fazoli’s kids eat free night
3. Denny’s kids eat free night

4. Culver’s kid’s meals – where else can you geta  good meal, drink, and ice cream dessert? Ok, DQ does the same…but I like Culver’s better.
