Denny’s

Aside from a couple unhealthy invaders like the Little Dippers and the French Toastix™, Denny’s asteroid inspired kids’ menu is properly portioned for children. Its most impressive feat, however, is its choice offering of sides, which includes fruit medley, grapes, mashed potatoes, and applesauce. It’s nice to see a variety of nonfried sides, especially when children so desperately need to increase their intakes of fruits and vegetables.

SURVIVAL STRATEGY

Pair a burger or pizza with a fruit side for an easy, kid-approved 400-calorie dinner.
