I really like both Beck's Prime and Freebird's. Freebird's my kids will definitely eat there. Beck's...meh...they will eat there but they prefer faster food hamburgers like McDonald's.

I love Cheesecake Factory too. Their skinny menu has a white bean chili that is amazing. But in all honesty i mainly eat the brown bread. OMG yum.
My kids barely eat at any restaurant. I’d probably order them fries or chips and salsa and that’s all they will eat. It drives me nuts to take them to a restaurant and come home to hear them say they are hungry 😡

What is your favorite chain restaurant, and what’s your go-to order? My favorite chain place is Qdoba. I love their veggie tacos. I also really like two wood-fire pizza chains we have here because everyone can order their own pizza (kids split) and they are really allergy friendly.
Bonus: Will your kids eat anything there? As longs as carbs are involved, my kids will pretty much eat anywhere
FFC - I don’t like CFA. I took DD last night for a spirit night before soccer and I drank water. Zero temptation.
My kids prefer local places - and we used to avoid them because of the no starch thing - but have found they can and will special prep things for DD.
I wish more chains would source locally and/or organic. DS’ favorite is Seasons 52 - if it’s near you and you haven’t tried it look it up!
I really liked Seasons 52 when they first opened here, but it's gotten less and less interesting over time.
If I’m honest, it’s their desserts that are the big draw. I don’t have to exercise self control because it’s a reasonable portion for an occasional indulgence. Fresh food is good too, but the desserts push me to choose there over other places sometimes!
We don’t usually go to chains for dinner. Panera is my go-to chain for breakfast and lunch. My usual is a cinnamon crunch bagel with cream cheese for breakfast or a chicken salad sandwich for lunch.
DS1 refers to it as “the muffin store” because that is what he gets.
