Ok here's a good example of why to stay away from family themed restaurants.

Friday night my wife and I and our 2 year old went to Red Robin. The wife and I each had a burger and fries and 2 soft drinks and my daughter had mac & cheese and milk. Total bill $35 + tip.

Saturday night we went to Texas Roadhouse for steaks. My wife had 11oz Top Sirloin, salad and potato and I had the same except I had the 16oz sirloin (mmmmm beef!). We also had 2 soft drinks. My daughter had a kid's cheeseburger, fries, and juice. Total bill $39.

I guess I'll pay the 5 bucks more and eat steak.
