What restaurants have the best family meal deals for pickup?
I know Panda Express has a good one and tazikis family feast is nice. Anyone else have a go to when you don’t have time to cook?

I can't think of a single "restaurant" that has affordable "family meal deals" other than Domino's. $8 for a carryout two topping large pizza is hard to beat, but then again, it's Domino's.

Restaurants are not affordable anymore. You are better off getting those premade meals from grocery stores/Costco/Sam's Club and heating them in your oven.

Still way cheaper than grocery store prices. Went yesterday and spent $50 for just one bag of groceries.

I didn't know Panda express had this. I have never had it but someone told me Texas Roadhouse has a good reasonably priced family deal.

This is the truth. The other day I went to the grocery store and got two packages of chicken wings, a bag of charcoal, a six-pack of miller lite, and some pimento cheese and it cost me almost $60. I couldn't fricking believe it when that price rang up.

No, 5 Person Family Meal (2 sides & 3 entrees). Went with Chow Mein noodles as we hadn't tried them before. Normally get fried rice. Other side was 'super greens' which is broccoli and cabbage.

Entrees were Kung Pao Chicken, Beijing Beef (orange beef) and Chicken & Mushroom.

The wife & I got several meals out of it and there's still some in the fridge.

We get the Texas Roadhouse chicken tender family meal. Think it’s 40$ but you get at least 20 tenders in a big tray, 2 large sides, box of rolls and a tray of salad. 2 days of meals easy for 4 of us

When's the last time you bought wings, man? Maybe the frozen ones are that cheap, I don't know cause I don't use those.

These alone would cost over $60 in a restaurant.

For real. The idea that eating out at restaurants is cheaper than going to the grocery store is so stupid that I thought only Paul Allen thought that

Cowboy chicken has a decent enough family meal in that you can customize the sides and the price is reasonable enough. I want to say la Madeline's has some family meals that I got one time when a vendor gave me a voucher for door dash or the like. I can't recall what it was but I think it was a decent enough deal. We don't eat take out much but when we do it's usually serops express. (Relatively) Inexpensive, tasty and quick.
