Favorite kid-friendly places to eat
cat lover We like friendly little pricey with four little ones little further away fuddruckers on wed or thurs night kids ear half price and the balloon animal lady pod awesome also sonic is nice kids like sitting on car watching a movie and having the waitress bring their good out on roller skates just my opinion
Aunt jemima Brew has a kids menu. Decent family place. Stick to the basics though. Burgers are good.

Hopeful If further away was on the menu, I'd suggest both Hot Dog Johnny and Humpty Jr. I don't personally care for Fuddruckers and both of those places are even better than Sonic and even closer. (although granted, I do think that's a good place for kids)
In town, I would say definitely take them to Enjoy Creperie. Nice ice cream on crepes. Can't go wrong and exceptionally friendly people.
Not full restaurants, but the other places for sure to take them are Demi's for biscotti, brownies, and whoopie pies, Rita's for the ice, and Tracy's for all of the retro candy. Runner up in Mansfield, Cold Stone for add-in ice cream of their own design.
GC Sports Scene at Oakwood Lanes bowling alley. Good food, good kids menu and crayons at the tables. Before or after dinner, you can bowl and/or let them play the videos games inside the alley.
Calico696 Depends on the extent of kid-friendly. If you want entertainment, then definitely Fuddruckers, or Sports Scene.
If you want affordable and kid-friendly, there's always Friendly's and IHOP.
Most independent places, i.e. Bea McNally's, Panther Pub, James on Main, etc. have kid menus but I would suggest bringing something along for the kids to do like color.

justintime Stay away from Friendlys! Except for ice cream! Worked there I wouldn't bring home food for my dog from there.

Justcuz We love Friendly's! They offer a coloring contest for kids now as well. Very kid friendly!
Cat mom Not disgruntled employee. Ex employee! Food is crap. Food preparers drop food and put on your plate, Food is frozen crap and kept too long. Loads of complaints from customers about food poisoning.
Employee from when ten or twenty years ago?? I've eaten there plenty of times and know people that work there and never once heard of that or of any food poisoning
Yeah we've eaten at Friendly's plenty of times over the years and never had any problems with the food.
Metsman Infogirl is most likely telling the truth about food being dropped on the floor and put back on people's plates. I worked in the food industry when I was younger and I can pretty much guarantee that this happens in all restaurants. If this scares you, stay home and cook your own food. I try not to think about it.
Jazzykatt Don't go to it'z a buffet. It's a waste of money. The play place kept the kids entertained for a 20 mins, but that was the only good part. The food was terrible and not many kid friendly options aside from some dried up chicken fingers. Everything was discusting and it cost $50+ for a family of 4.
We also like Willy's Wieners in Port Murray. Unique hot dogs, tornado fries and milkshakes. Short enough drive. https://www.facebook.com/Willys-Wieners-476889819176573/
