@janbb: Depending on the ages of the kids, you might do better if the weather is nice, just getting some hot dogs or pizza or deli and sitting outside on a bench or in the park. It may be hard for some kids to sit through an hour or so in a restaurant, whereas casual picnic style outdoors is a fun change, very convenient as you don’t have to schedule and travel far, and when the kids get antsy, just throw out the garbage and start walking.
