The Fast Food Playdate

Allright, let's compile a list of restaurants in the area that have a play area, and what we think of them.

McDonalds
207 MURCHISON
SPRING LAKE, NC 28390

I've been to this McDonalds MANY times for playdates. I love that the play area is large, and that there is only one entrance/exit to the area. There is a large eating area within the play area, and it's great b/c you can keep an eye on your kids/eat while they play. I've found that it's very clean, as far as play areas go. This is the only McDonalds with a play area that I've been to (in the Fayetteville area). Here's a list of the others, with play areas, in the area:

Sonic

I've also been to Sonic on Cliffdale and Yadkin several times for playdates. Both are great b/c the play area is fenced in (outside), and there's only one entrance/exit. They both have sand playgrounds, with large play structures. The Yadkin playground is significantly larger than Cliffdale. The one large downside to both is that the tables in the eating area are FILTHY. Not just food debris, but blackened with dirt on the tables. This hasn't kept me from going, b/c my son loves it, and so do his friends, but we are definitely careful not to put any food on the table. I'm listing all of the Sonic locations, b/c I believe that they all have playgrounds, but I'm not positive.

5846 YADKIN ROAD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303
1208 N. BRAGG BLVD, SPRING LAKE, NC 28390
5938 CLIFFDALE ROAD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28314-2121
3609 RAMSEY STREET, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28311
2886 HOPE MILLS ROAD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28306

Chick Fil-A
1921 Skibo Rd.
Fayetteville, NC 28314

I believe that is the only Chick Fil-A that has a play area. I have only been to this play area once, and I wasn't very impressed. It was very small, and you can't actually sit in the play area. You can sit outside it and watch, but then your kids are going in and out of the door. It's definitely an option, but not the best, in my opinion.

Burger King

I've never had a playdate at a Burger King. Their website doesn't seem to state which locations have a play area. Does anyone know?

Does Wendy's have play areas?

Joe's Crab Shack

I almost didn't post this one b/c if you're going there, it's obviously not just for the kiddos (b/c of the non fast-food prices) However, their play area is great. You can sit above it (there's a ramp leading down to it), and there's only one entrance/exit, and it's onto the deck eating area. I also think kids eat free on Tuesday?

Are there any other eat and play restaurants that you all can think of?
