That would have been a big mistake with me when I was 6,I ate as much as my parents

Now all the guy needs to do is install a cell phone jammer in the restaurant and he will have the perfect establishment.

I know....can you believe it. It's not like I'm being unreasonable when I look at them and say; "Are you some kind of an idiot to want to seat us here!"

high 5 to the owner of that joint!

For most children, going out to dinner other then somewhere active, like fast food places, is boring. So, they get bored and then they get active or cranky. It is not fair to the children and it is certainly not fair to the other patrons of the restaurant.

It seems that here lately there are too young of children in every restaurant my wife and I have been to. For some reason, the person seating us always thinks it is a good idea to seat us near the table with the children. I always tell them to seat us as far away as possible, and most times they look at me like I'm being unreasonable. Not a good way to start my meal.

I love kids. They just don't belong in every venue. The worst; seeing a kid in a restaurant with a bar in the restaurant after 9pm. I go to a bar to be with drinking adults and I don't want to have to be exposed to young children after 9pm.

It is a shame that restaurants have to make these sort of decisions, but I hope in catches on.

They had to kick the back of my seat or plant their feet in the seat back and push. The mom said sorry once.

Kids will only act as bad as the parents allow them to. It is a parenting problem not a kid problem most of the time. Mine learned respect at a very early age, something many parents have yet to learn themselves. The very few times when we brought our children out with us to eat and they were babies we got our meal to go if they began to cry. One case was because of an ear infection our youngest had and we didn't know about yet.

When I go to service someone's apartment/home they know the kids and pets better be put up or kept in check or no maintenance/service is done.. I will leave and tell them they have to wait in line again.

Completely agree with this guy's police no matter what he serves.

Good for the owner and most of all, good for the patrons. Little ones should stay home with the sitter, or just be taken to Mcdonalds, (which is what they want anyway). Fine dining is for adults and responsible older children, say 10 and up.

I'd be offended if I stopped by with my son, not knowing the rule about kids.
But then again, my son would go into the supply house with me when he was five years old, and I'd ask him before we went in what the rule was.
His response?
"I look with my eyes, not my hands."

Must be hard to live in a house where the kids are in charge of the adults.

Or the MORON who is trying to IMPRESS everyone with the FACT he has a cellphone and its powered by YELLING into it.

We were out to dinner a few years ago. A customer a few tables away was having a birthday. He was also a customer of mine and he was a big pompus blowhard. His phone rang and as he answered it he put it on speaker. The guy calling yells "Happy f####ing birthday a$$%%le!!! He panics and tries to shut the phone off and drops it and the guy keeps rambling. I had diet Coke coming out of my nose for 2 days after that!

Does not matter if its a HOT DOG stand , about time a few so called PARENTS grew up , stop being the KID's friend and be a PARENT.

About 2 miles from me, been on the news here for some time.
Too funny, good for him.
As bonus, he also is banning the stupid parents who can't control their precious children.
The vast majority of his customers are glad.

HAHA. Okay, I agree with such a policy but when I visited his website, I expected a "fancy" restaurant. Instead, it's "Denny's" with an ego. His menu is mediocre at best.

The policy is appropriate - but not at a place like that.

No wonder why his customers are offended. With fried food, burgers, and cheap entrees which include sh!tty steaks for 10 bucks, he "niched" himself this way.

He should live with it - or get a new menu and chef.

You wanna be upscale, go for it. But, serve it.

Seriously.

"Ihop" doesn't have that policy, because when people pay 4 bucks for wings, they don't care.

It will fail because the owner is not only a jerk, but a "fast-food" entrepreneur. Problem is, he doesn't know it and is insulting his customers.

Let me know when the spot is up for lease - I'll make something of it. I have 20 years of restaurant experience.

I fully support this kinda thing... in fact I'm almost in enough support to drive there and take Dice out to dinner lol.

There was a deal in the news a while back about restaurants who had signs made that read "no screaming kids" or something along that line, I wish more would do that.

I'm not against kids being out in public, but for god sake make them behave! It's one thing to get rowdy in the McD's playpen, but when you're in a nice dining establishment, NO ONE wants to hear a kid screaming crying and making a fuss, running around and being a little &*($%!

that is awesome. too many people letting their kids run amok
