Readers Speak: Restaurants Banning Kids

The comments are in, and no consensus has been reached.

Some restaurants around the country are jumping on the “Kids Eat Not” bandwagon, banning youngsters from dining after a certain hour or just altogether. 

La Fisheria in Houston, for example, welcomes kids until 7 p.m., according to ABC News. A new sushi place in the Washington, D.C., area doesn’t allow anyone under 18 inside at all.

Land O’ Lakes Patch reader Megan Hendricks was turned off to the idea.

“Would you be able to post a list of restaurants you know of that start doing this? I want to be sure I tell everyone I know not to patronize them,” she wrote on Facebook.

It rubs Becky Sessa the wrong way, too.

“Seriously??? What a big screw you to families,” she wrote.

But Robert Martin just wants a peaceful experience when he dines out.

“I know this is likely to be unpopular, and probably in the minority, but if I am dining out anywhere, and have to listen to a child screaming the entire time, I want to move, or leave, or get up and ask the parents at the top of my lungs to control they're children,” he wrote.
