Best Catered-to-Kids Restaurant

Chuck E. Cheese's

We don't imagine many grown-ups visit Chuck E. Cheese's for the pizza, or the wings, the salad bar or the sandwiches. They visit so their kids can enjoy the banging, clanging, buzzing, ringing and dinging environment of games—shooting, flying, driving, Guitar Hero-ing, noisy games. And if you play enough of those games, you can redeem tickets for prizes. There's also an automated musical combo, Munch's Make Believe Band, that "performs" on one end of the room.
