This is a local chain with about 10 locations. We frequent the ones in Old Town and Penn Quarter (DC). This is a true kid-friendly place where kids eat free on Tuesdays (2 kids meal per adult entree). My one complaint about the Old Town location is that the main restaurant is on the 2nd level, the bar and small "smoking section" are on the first level. The Old Town location opens on the early side for brunch on the weekends (9AM). Also, the bar hosts live musical acts late nights in case you have a local babysitter/grandparent.
