What do you think about birthday parties at fast food restaurants? (McDonalds, Chick Fil A, etc...)

I'd host one and totally make the whole thing 80s retro. Just to amuse the parents (and myself.)

Vegetarian PP here. I did not know about Roy Rogers and the mac and cheese - filing that away. Sometimes we get side orders at KFC if we're desperate. We have done the cheese sandwich thing at every fast food place. They always look at us like we're nuts. Oh well.

We are veggie too - taco bell, subway, roy rogers (they have mac and cheese), and a few others are fine. My kid if desperate will get a cheese sandwich.

My kids would love it. We rarely get fast food (road trips and air and space museum), but I'd have no problem with it

Sure. Mine love McDs. We rarely get it and they would certainly eat at any of those places. It's not worse than the two bites of pizza then cake they eat at the bouncey house parties.

My kid is 12 and has literally never been to a fast food party. I went to a couple as a kid in the 80's.

Honestly? I would think it's a little low-rent but my kid would probably love it.

Low-rent?

Roy Rogers does but the small is really small so you may need two or a large (no kids meal). Noodles and Co is very veggie friendly and their mac and cheese is one of the better ones. Panera has good mac and cheese too.

These parties work well for the preschool and early elementary set. They are quick and uncomplicated, the kids enjoy the food and there is little in the way of clean up.

We had parties like this all.the.time when I was growing up. One year Shakey's (yes, I am dating myself!), another year McDonald's, another year the ice cream spot. We LOVED it as kids. Especially because we only ate fast food as a treat back then. House parties were hot dogs, grape koolaid, chips, cake & Ice cream. Nowadays kids parties involve bouncy houses and characters. Such a waste when all kids want is to hang out with their friends and eat until they get sick!

But to your question OP - if my child was invited to a party at one of these places, we'd go, and we don't eat much fast food (it's a party!).

LOL! You are dating yourself as well!

My friend used to order burgers from Mickey D's without the meat. Everything else just no meat. They were so confused! LOL

I just ask for a cheeseburger no burger, no onions and no sauces and add mayo. So you get the bun, cheese and mayo.

The ice cream spot wasn't Farrell's, was it? Because I had an AWESOME party there as a kid!

Chik filet is definitely not that cheap, it's a 200 minimum for catering
