Five Guys is great for burgers, hotdogs, fries. Scoopel's for hot dogs or sandwiches and ice cream for desert, lots of pizza shops and Italian restaurants around town. As noted above providing their ages would be helpful.

Can't fool we old folks, chickens do not have fingers.

If they are well behaved you can take them to the same places you go. If they are less disciplined probably take out and fast food is best.

One good place to take them for another type of eating is Russell Stover on 44, they will leave with huge smiles on their faces without a doubt.

Culvers (golf cart accessible) on 466. A kids meal includes a free scoop of custard with one topping. My 82 year old mom and I always go there for a kids meal. Perfect portions.

Make them a homemade meal and have them participate in making the dessert! Kids appreciate the time you spend with them making memories not Fast Food ! Kids that age prefer Chucky Cheese over Ruth's Chris!

Flippers Pizza is good choice. Kids can select there own toppings. Good size pizzas for kids. Not sure if the “ build a pizza” class is open again but that is fun, even for adults.

Culver's, McD's, Wendy's, any Mexican, Flipper's for kid-friendly places. But at those ages they should be able to go anywhere you go out to eat. Make it an adventure.

Our 8 year old grandson loves Prima as they have a “make your own” pizza. He loves it!

We like Eaton's Beach. They have great food and they can play on the beach. We try to take all of our younger kid visitors there. :coolsmiley:

If they like chicken, take them to PDQ or Huey Magoo's. Both are excellent!

They might enjoy the Golden Corrale since it’s a cafeteria type restaurant with many different food selections and the desserts are to die for, especially the “create your own sundae” bar

I don't know, but when my children were very young, I am from Boston, periodically I would bring all 5 of them to the FINEST restaurents in the city. I did so to teach them culture and how to act dignified and with respect. They all, through my tutelage acted appropriately. When I brought them to mickyd...the adjusted and acted like animal.

My little guy is 5 and loves ravioli at Carrabbas. There's a Mexican restaurant on 301 in the Save A Lot plaza that has amazing decor. Every booth, chair and table is carved and hand painted in Mexico. The colors are bright and something I've never seen before in my life. It's called Los Magueyes at 346 Shopping Center Drive, Wildwood. 352-461-0577. They have a huge menu.

I tried that with my kids, they behaved very well but none of them ate what they ordered. As soon as we got home they asked if they could heat up a frozen pizza which they inhaled. Expensive lesson.

This thread is like asking "who has the best pizza" and every pizza place within 10 miles is listed. Might as well just list every restaurant within 10 miles. :)

FWIW (regarding Steak and Shake) they are closed inside. Carryout only or sit on one of the 3 benches in the parking lot after waiting 20 minutes to get a cheap burger from the drive-up window.

Olive Garden, Ale House has a good veggie burger, Chilies has a black bean burger, Longhorn love sweet potato and salad there and Sakura rice, veggies, noddles and veggie rolls
