I did a similar post to this a few years ago and thought it would be well worth doing an updated version for this Summer. This list isn’t exhaustive, but I have tried to include as many popular restaurants and chains as I can. Currently we are all feeling the pinch and I know that feeding kids at home during the holidays can be difficult, so I hope this helps!
