DO NOT ORDER FROM THE CHILD'S MENU IN ANY RESTAURANT, EVEN FOR A CHILD!!! Have you seen what most restaurants put on the childrens menus these days? Also, a lot of restaurants have caught on to the trend of adults sharing an order and have either started refusing or charging an additional price. I've seen prices as high as $10 in some restaurants added to the price of a meal that is shared.
