Steakhouses are one of my husband and I's favorite places to get an extravagant dinner. As our kids have gotten older, we've brought them along to enjoy steak dinners with us in exciting locales or as part of birthday celebrations. Even so, our recent visits to steakhouse chains have felt like the best value for our family of four. Although we could afford to take our teens to higher-end, independently owned steakhouses, I think we get more bang for our buck at chains like The Capital Grille or Outback Steakhouse.
Chains aim to deliver consistent experiences, which is especially great for picky eaters and families with kids. At chains, my teens know what to expect and look forward to it, which can minimize stress in a new place. Plus, we know they'll actually eat what they ordered if they've had it before and enjoyed it.
If we're going to spend a lot on a special dinner, it's nice to know exactly what we can expect. I like knowing the quality and experience I can expect when returning to a chain.
Knowing which chains my kids love makes grabbing dinner a breeze - especially if we're traveling. The first time we visited LongHorn Steakhouse was on a weekend trip to Orlando, and we've returned to other locations and had similarly positive experiences while traveling to California and Pennsylvania.
