any decent restaurants via the Orlando Kids Eat Free card?

thanks.. sandwich sister.. I should have mentioned that my son isn't picky as long as there's chicken or some other type of meat available :) so we've done well at ethnic restaurants.. thanks so much!!

any decent restaurants via the Orlando Kids Eat Free card?

Hi, We're heading to Orlando in a few weeks. We will be there for one week and have plans to visit the disney parks. We have a 2.5 yr old that still naps, so we're planning to leave the parks and come back for lunch or dinner sometimes. We are staying at the Sheraton Vistana Resort which is off of FL-585 and I-4. I came across something called the Kids Eat Free card, which allows kids to eat free with a paying adult. I'm trying to figure out if any of the restaurants are worth a visit.. we are total foodies, but believe that good food doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg (also, having a 2.5 yr old has made fine dining a thing of the past). I'm thinking of getting the card because I'm such a budget freak and was hoping to find out if there are any restaurants in our general area worth visiting by Chowhound standards :) btw, we're able to get the card for $12.50 through my husbands work. this is the website - it's pretty awful.. http://www.kidseatfreecard.com
Here are the names of the restaurants that I didn't recognize .. i'm hoping someone might be able to glance over the list and chime in with their opinion... thanks so much!

lobster rolls near Westford, Lowell, Nashua and vicinity

Hi - I have family visiting from NY City where lobster rolls are all the rage now.. they are looking for an authentic, no frills/fillers New England lobster roll .. I've never been a huge fan of lobster rolls, since I'd rather get it whole, steamed/boiled.. but I gotta give the family what they want.. can someone direct me to a local place? I think Kimball Farm has them.. anyone every try them?

Thanks so much!
Patty

live lobsters and seaweed/rockweed near Westford, MA

aw.. thank you for the kind welcomes greygarious and alan!
Alan - We're moving close to where you are, I believe. We'll be near Lake Nabnasset, off of Groton Road. Were a little hesitant because of the asphalt plant, but are moving forward with hope that Westford decides against the asphalt. Thanks again for checking around - I'll check back periodically just in case.
So far, I'm liking the people in Westford.. thanks again

live lobsters and seaweed/rockweed near Westford, MA

Hi - Are there any places in the Westford, MA area where we can pick up fresh/live lobsters and seaweed/rockweed? I want to put together a lobster clambake (on the grill) over labor day weekend and the last time we did it (in waltham), we picked up the lobsters and rockweed from James Hook (and spent an arm and a leg). We'll be new to westford and still learning the ropes.
Thanks in advance!!

Foodie moving to Westford

Hi fellow food lovers -
We are a family of 2 with an 18 month old .. and we're moving Westford soon. We love good food for reasonable prices. With an 18 month old, we haven't been fine dining in a long time and don't miss it at all. Places for takeout or quick dining with a child would be perfect for us. any recommendations. Any places in Westford, Chelmsford, Lowell or other close towns would be great.. We will travel for food :D
Thanks in advance.. we know very little about the Westford area so any pointers are especially appreciated!

Riodizio - Roslyn, NY (long island)

Riodizio - Roslyn, NY (long island)

I've never been to Master Grill in Queens - would you say it's better than Riodizio? This will be our first 'date' since having our baby in December.. my parents will watch our son, so we could make the trek to Queens if it's better than Riodizio.. but Platforma would be too far for us.. we liked that place too

i'm hoping to hear more from folks who enjoy churrascarias - we actually love places like fogo de chao and wonder if this place compares to that at all..
