Frequently Asked Questions

What age is the kids menu for?

Kids menu is designed for children 12 and under. We don't strictly enforce age limits – if you have a small teen who wants a kids meal, just ask!

Can adults order from the kids menu?

Kids menu is for children only, but we offer smaller portion options and side items if you're looking for a lighter meal.

Do you have kids' activity menus or crayons?

Currently we don't offer activity menus, but we're working on it! Families are welcome to bring coloring books or tablets to keep kids entertained.

Is there a kids eat free promotion?

We occasionally run kids-eat-free promotions – check our social media and email newsletter for current offers. Birthday kids always eat free with advance notice!

Can you make burgers plain for picky eaters?

Absolutely! We're happy to make burgers plain (just meat and bun) or customize in any way for picky eaters. Just let your server know.

What if my child has a serious food allergy?

Please inform your server immediately about any allergies. While we take precautions, our kitchen does handle common allergens. For severe allergies, speak with a manager about preparation procedures.
