sat evening dinner with kids 8 & 11

staying overnight at sheraton society hill - need recommendations for dinner with kids 8 %26amp; 11 - something other than italian %26amp; on the fun side!

Depends on your taste and price range. Here are two things that come to mind:





Jones, 7th %26amp; Chestnut. Really good versions of classic diner and comfort food in a modern, fancy but casual setting. Not expensive, but defintely not cheap.





Jim%26#39;s Steaks, 4th %26amp; South. Not a restaurant exactly, but great cheesesteaks and could be fun for all. Not fancy at all, but good, and inexpensive.





Others will probably have better ideas...

How about Dave and Busters on the waterfront




Mexican Post in Old City might fit the bill...I am not a fan of D%26amp;B, although I can see the appeal for the kids, obviously...

Dave %26amp; Busters is a great idea! The kids will definitely love it and any ';big kids'; will too. :)




I%26#39;m with Suzanne. With all the great places to eat in Philly, even with kids, D%26amp;B is out.



Other possibilities:



Konak -Turkish, 200 block of Vine



Ariana - Afghan, 100 block Chestnut



Plough and the Stars - modern Irish Pub, great food (my kids and I just had lunch there today) 2nd St. just north of Chestnut



Chinatown - any number of places, just ask us for recs.

The suggestion of Dave and Busters was responding to the word ';fun'; in the original post...while it may not be a gourmet establishment, I%26#39;ll bet your kids will have a blast there.

On the other hand, if quality of the food is uppermost then I would go with one of the other excellent recommendations that have been posted.




My dislike of D%26amp;B is due in part to an ugly incident which occurred there a number of years ago. It caused a bias that I can%26#39;t get past.



That being said, if you%26#39;d be happy with average food and the kids really like arcade games, then D%26amp;B might be an option.
