"Going out to dinner with young kids is not the most relaxing experience in the world. First, there is the anxiety: Are they going to behave? Are they going to scream and run around? What will the other diners think of you as a parent? Then, there's the actual experience: Uh oh, they don't have chicken nuggets even though chicken nuggets were promised and little Brayden is now writhing on the floor."
"But then one day you take your kids out to dinner and they behave beautifully. They sit properly with their napkins on their laps, they say please and thank you, they engage in thoughtful conversation. Other diners look at you as if you are some parental guru who has figured it all out. Compliments about your well-behaved children pour in, and you get to enjoy your meal from start to finish and even allow yourself those extra 15 minutes to have dessert."
"Fogo de Chão, and award-winning steakhouse chain may not be as financially enticing as some of the other restaurants on this list, as they only dole our free meals to kids under the age of six, while children between seven and 12 get 50% off the full, adult-size meal consisting premium meat, Brazilian sides, and unlimited access to a sort of salad bar."
Going out to dinner with young children often generates anxiety about behavior, disruptions, and other diners' reactions. Unexpected problems such as unavailable kid-favorite menu items or broken entertainment devices can escalate into loud scenes. Successful outings occur when children behave politely, enabling parents to relax, receive compliments, and fully enjoy meals. Many chain restaurants offer free or discounted kids' meals on select days or under specific conditions, reducing costs for families. Fogo de Chão provides free meals for children under six and 50% off for ages seven to 12 on adult-size meals that include premium meats, Brazilian sides, and unlimited salad-bar access. Compiled offers save parents time searching for deals.
