Where do the middle to upper middle class families eat now? I’m talking a low key place to take your kids.


We hit up Culvers 2-3 times per month.

Texas Roadhouse family packs to-go

Gringos, Chuy's, Torchy's and a few local Tex-Mex places

I'd eat at Pancho's even if it wasn't that great just for the nostalgia Once upon a time it was the place to go Friday night.


Yep. Could always count on seeing other kids from school to play arcades with.

If you are ever in the Houston area, I highly recommend Mia’s. Owned by the Carabba’s family. It is on the pricier side of middle class restaurants but the cater to families and very consistent.

Every meal except Thanksgiving lunch and dinner. Not even sure why we have a kitchen in the house



That's wild.

As someone who loves to eat out and does so frequently, this seems like a chore.

drinks were spot on.

Regarding chili’s. The presidente margaritas used to be one of the best. Not sure they still do that but it was hard to beat.

I always liked La Fonda, and the food wasn’t bad, but I think it falls into that category as well
