Here are our guidelines and how we will be rating:
- High chairs and booster seats
- Have food the kiddos will eat
- Entertainment for said child ( coloring books, toys, puzzles, etc.)
- Changing tables in both restroom areas for both parents
- Atmosphere that is child friendly
- Affordability
- Child friendly staff
- Kids Cups
- Breastfeeding friendly
- Out of the way extras for kids
So I will slowly be adding places to this rating list based on these parameters and expectations. We do not count promptness of service for a number of reasons. Mostly because if they're busy-- they're busy. One that is working cannot control the traffic in and out of a restaurant. Both my husband and myself have worked in food services and know a number of variables that are in the card.
Denny's off the Hogan Rd. in Bangor is a special treat at our house. We live not far from here, but this is the place we go when everywhere else is closed super early in the morning before a long day trip ahead of us or we are hangry after a long day of shopping in the mall area. I remember being super pregnant and having a craving for a banana's foster at midnight and my husband was able to get it to go for me.They have at least 6 high chairs, however I have been there when they did not have enough for everyone who needed one. They have a flexible kids menu, coloring options and a claw machine in the front if you are looking for a way to keep yours kids entertained when they have a wait on tables. Both restrooms have changing tables and make kids food affordable.On Tuesday's and Saturday's kids eat for free, drinks included from 4p.m. -10p.m. Up to two kids get a free meal for every paying adult.You do have to pay for actual kids cups, but you do get to bring them home :) I have not breast fed in this facility so I cannot say how they feel about this topic, but I would not hesitate. The staff are always raving about our kids and are super kid friendly. I give Denny's a 9 out of 10 for their family friendly rating.
