Although a steakhouse can be a good choice for a meal with colleagues from work or a get-together with friends, it can also be an establishment to visit with your family. If you want to enjoy a hearty meal together, one option is to visit your local steakhouse. If this is the first time that you'll be visiting a steakhouse restaurant with your children, it's worthwhile to discuss some items that they may wish to order. Kids don't necessarily need to order off the restaurant's children's menu. Instead, these items off the main menu can often be a good choice for kids.
Burger Or Sliders
It's hard to find a child who doesn't enjoy eating hamburgers, and you'll very commonly find burgers on the menu at steakhouses. These burgers are typically larger than you might find at other eateries, which can be good for a child who has a big appetite. If your child loves burgers but you think a full-sized burger might be a little too much, sliders can be another option. Sliders are prevalent on many steakhouse menus, and a serving of two or three, along with a side order of fries, might be the perfect quantity for your little one.
Steak
You may have your mind set on ordering a steak for yourself, but this can also be a good choice for your child. If your child hasn't previously eaten a steak, this can be an ideal place to try this classic meal for the first time. There are lots of steaks on the menu that will likely be too large for your child, so browse the options to look for a smaller cut. Many steakhouses have various cuts of steak, including the filet and strip, in small sizes that are appropriate for kids.
Mac And Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is a fixture on children's menus at all sorts of establishments, but this something that you'll find separate from the kid's menu at your local steakhouse. You'll commonly find mac and cheese offered as a side dish option at this type of eatery, and this can be a good choice for a child. Steakhouse mac and cheese is often very hearty, which can help your child to feel full even if they aren't eating meat. Consider a side dish of mac and cheese and perhaps a side salad — maybe Caesar or green — so that your child gets some veggies with their dinner.
