If you’ve ever been to Fuddrucker’s, you know they are famous for tasty burgers and chicken sandwiches in a kid-friendly environment. The casual environment welcomes all comers. There’s no pretense/ego at a Fuddrucker’s. It is nice to dine at a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously.Being a parent, I notice ‘different’ things now. At a playground, I analyze how safe a slide is for my children. I’ll stare down somewhere who is driving too fast in our neighborhood. At a restaurant, I’ll hope and pray that they have a kid’s menu and coloring book to keep the youngsters occupied.
At a recent trip to Fuddrucker’s, they won me over as a kid-friendly establishment. As I was waiting for my cajun chicken sandwich, I ventured to the bathroom to wash my hands. Upon exiting the bathroom, I glanced down at the door and saw something remarkably brilliant. There, far below the reach of any adult, was a ‘kiddie handle’. My kids weren’t with me on this particular trip, but I would imagine they would have loved the kid-friendly touch. Perhaps I would have never rescued them out of that bathroom!! They would want to keep ‘testing’ the kiddie handle.
Many probably don’t even recognize this slight nuance. I will definitely remember this ‘slight touch’ and keep them in mind next time the family goes out to dine. Any place that makes my kids feel special is a winner in my book.
Does anyone have any memorable restaurant stories? Share with us.
Until next time,
