Food TRACKS
The Charlotte area's vast selection of family-friendly dining options make eating out a fun, convenient and frequent pastime here. Some restaurants pair menus with game rooms, amusement areas and performers. Others allow kids to eat free on special nights. We've highlighted a few favorites below.
Also, be sure to check out KidsMealDeals.com, which enables you to search for special deals for kids at restaurants in your area by entering your zip code. You can even search by day of the week! Another searchable restaurant site that happens to feature an iPhone application (and other mobile platforms soon) is KidsEatFor.com.
