While we are on the subject about kid friendly, I feel compelled to mention
the Outback Steakhouse.  Mind you, I do not enjoy children very much, especially
screaming ones.  They don't seem to show up much at Outback, despite the fact
that there are kids there all the time.

The Outback Steakhouse has always been friendly.  Period.  The one off of
Route 50 in Arlington will serve you lemonade and samples of their appetizers
while you endure the wait for a table in their restaurant.

But, the other day while I was there, I noticed a small child waiting with his
family.  The hostess got him a cupful of their fries without the cheese since
he didn't like the cheese fries.  Then when he got to his seat, someone brought
their big stuffed kangaroo to sit next to him.  Later on I saw a waiter carrying
him around on his shoulders!

Simply put, the kid appeared to be having a ball and it was MUCH more
enjoyable to watch him have fun with his waiter and the kangaroo then to
hear him scream were he to get bored.
