On average, 67% of consumers either dine in or order out from restaurants at least once a week. However, for couples with kids, that number jumps to 80%, Technomic found.Conversely, adults living with a spouse and no children, or those living alone, report below-average weekly restaurant visits, at 65% and 63%, respectively.

Other chains have generally lower prices when it comes to full meals, reducing the likely cost for a family dining experience.

My husband and I have never been big on chain restaurants, but our teenagers love visiting them, so we've tried quite a few in recent years.

The four of us regularly go to see a movie and get dinner at a restaurant near the theater.
