Looking for Toddler-friendly Restaurant near 287/I-35W in Fort Worth

Hey, I have a chance to meet up with my parents tomorrow as they are en route from Wichita Falls to Austin. They will be heading into Fort Worth on 287 and connecting onto I-35W, and I will be coming from Dallas to meet them. They will be driving all day, so I am trying to find somewhere not too far off their path. And I am hoping to find somewhere that is appropriate for my 15 month old to run around a little bit--both because she will have been in the car for a while getting there, and since this meal will be the grandparents' chance to see her show off all her new tricks and behaviors. Any suggestions?

What can I do next?

I am thinking a place with a playland that is for kids to run around (McD comes to mind but I know there are others). Most restaurants it is not appropriate for children to run around as they disturb the other diners. Sadly, even though I have always thought my children to be adorable most do not find them that way in a meal setting that they are paying for.......lol.........I hope you find a lovely place.......hmm....or maybe a meal and then the park........just some thoughts

Joe's Crab Shack has a place for children to run around outdoors. Rain Forest Cafe at Grapevine Mills is also child friendly and lots of fun!

Hope that helps,

Hi L.,

Sorry I didn't get this until now, but by now, you've already met your parents. The only thing I could think of off the top of my head was that there is a Braum's there--we used to eat there a lot when my family would travel from Windthorst to South Texas. By the way, is your family from Wichita Falls?

There is a whole bunch of Restaraunts off of Western Center blvd and 35w. We love Shady Oaks BBQ. I believe they have outdoor seating if the weather is nice. There are many more choices in that area. Have Fun!!

I don't live in that area, so have no advice on a resturaunt, but absolutely LOVED your "so-so guy" comment! Mine is so-so too! : ) None of them are perfect! : )

I love the "so-so" husband comment. That makes me nuts as well. My husband is fine - sometimes shockingly thoughtful and kind, other times extremely selfish and celf-centered. I've always been amazed that all these other mom's seem to have picked so well... :)
