"Other possibilities include JT's BBQ and Waldo Peppers near the weirs... the former a laid back BBQ joint the latter a fantastic takeout/upscale sub shop .. get the lobster roll!"

So what do people think of JT's? For years I've been meaning to try them and just never have.

PSU -- you hit a key word in your last post -- "Dress Up" !!!

Just about every establishment near the Lake is "Casual Dress" during the Summer. I can't think of a place where we didn't feel comfortable showing up with a dress pair of shorts / golf shirt attire for the men for dinner. Remember, most eateries cater to the "boating / vacation" crowd wether they are (in strict definition) "Kid Friendly" or not.

I think most interpret "Kid Friendly" to mean much younger children than you have. A place where there is the ability to "get in & get out in" and if the young ones make a ruckus you don't feel you have to hurry and leave.

With your children being 16 & 11 -- I wouldn't be concerned with any of the fine resturants that are available.

I have a GREAT idea now that I know how old your children are (excuse me, [I]young adults[I]), maybe you could go to the store and buy the fixings for a really great picnic at one of the many state picnic areas. This way, everyone will get exactly what they want--- and get to cook it, too.
