Where would you go in MD with 10 moms + strollers for a weekend lunch?

So you take 10 children and strollers through the line?

I'm the PP you quoted. No, either you take turns, maybe two or three mothers at a time, or one mother can go and order for several people while her friends watch her child in the stroller for a few minutes. It isn't rocket science.

Also, it's not rocket science to leave your kids at home and go out as adults.

I agree. But I wasn't asked that question. I answered the question as asked (see the subject line). I answered and then was given the snarky answer above as if the person couldn't possibly imagine anybody doing this.

I've done this in mont Cty a ton of times. My moms group is really close and (gasp !) we love each others kids! Is it so crazy that we want to see each other and our kids?!

When our kids were babies, we lived going to restaurants with wait staff. It's much easier that way. Now that the kids are older we look for casual restaurants, like decent pizza joints or chains that have a reputation for families. Pandera works too, but personally I find it a hassle to order in line etc. you get a lot less time with each other.

Suggest that OP check and see if everyone really needs their stroller. You can park some outside. Use boosters and high chairs. Bring portable high chairs. Or hold the littlest ones.

Have fun! Kids need to eat too!

Uncle Julios in Bethesda is perfect for this.
