What are your favorite local restaurants to take kids to?
- Alfredo's Pizza Villa (University Mall, Chapel
Hill)
- Bob Evans (5419 Durham Chapel Hill Blvd, Durham)
- Boston Market (Eastgate Shopping Center, Chapel
Hill; 3029 Auto Drive, Durham) because it's quick, but still has
nutritious options.
- Breadmen's (324 West Rosemary Street, Chapel
Hill)
- Chick-Fil-A (University Mall, Chapel Hill,
Southpoint Mall, Durham, et al.) is quick and has nutritious options. Often
gives a book or toy with the kid's meal.
- Cici's Pizza (4600 Chapel Hill Blvd., Durham)
- Elmo's Diner (Carr Mill Mall, 200 North Greensboro
Street, Carrboro)
- Foster's Market (750 Airport Road, Chapel Hill)
- Jim's Famous BBQ (115 South Elliott Road,
Chapel Hill)
- K&W Cafeteria (201 South Estes Drive, Chapel
Hill, next to University Mall)
- Owens 501 Diner (1500 N Fordham Blvd., Chapel
Hill) is our favorite. Great food and service. Paper and crayons
for the kids.
- Pizza Hut (109 South Estes Drive, Chapel Hill;
370 South Churton Street, Hillsborough) lunch buffet
- Souper! Salad (202 West NC Highway 54, Durham;
across from Homestead Market shopping center). It's always loud,
so OK for kids to be noisy; and there are lots of fairly nutritious
food choices. Kids eat free every Tuesday after 4 PM, and you get one free child's
meal for each adult purchasing a buffet at the regular price.
