This FAMILY TO DO in CHARLOTTE series is sponsored by CEENTA.
Whether you’re looking for a night off from cooking, are rushing from one place to the next, or just feel like going out, there are plenty of times you might find yourself out to eat with the kids in tow.
For those days, check out these Charlotte restaurants where kids eat for free (or for cheap).
