Long-time readers know that The Wilsons dine out pretty much every Wednesday evening. It's a Date Night tradition The Missus and I started years ago, and which we have continued even now that we have kids. It wasn't so bad when it was just Robbie, but with three kids now it's trickier to stick to a budget while still getting a decent dining experience. Fortunately we have found a few places that don't break the bank.
Last night I took the family to El Chaparro on 13th and F. I've been there several times but the rest of the family were first-timers. It's not a kid-centric restaurant by any means but we made it work by sharing meals and tweaking our order just a bit. It worked out great. Our bill for the evening: just a hair over $20.00.
Our favorite Wednesday night destination is Grandmother's at 70th and A. Grandmother's is good any day, but on Wednesdays kids 12 and under eat free from the kids menu. That means we can order all of the following and leave with a bill at or under twenty bucks, plus a tip: five entrees; three milks; one or two pops; and three desserts. You can't even eat that much fast food for that price.
What are some of your favorite places to eat with a crowd?

Thanks for the invite dude!
What did you all order?
I ordered the cinco tacos because they’re awesome and I’m in a rut.
Just wanted to let you know that Dickey’s BBQ opened today on 27th and Cornhusker (in the lot where Super Saver is). Kids eat free on Sunday. Very very tasty BBQ.
