First, I want to thank you 5th graders for your generous gift. I've been thinking of where to spend it with my team. Fuddruckers is a place my team went to early in the season.
Fuddrucker's, despite the vaguely obscene sounding name, is a good place for kids and teenagers. It's mostly a hamburger joint, but they also sell steak, chicken, salad, shakes and desserts.
The main food attraction is the burgers. A few of the many kinds of burgers they sell include bacon and cheddar, mushroom & swiss and jalapeno. All burgers are made from fresh ground beef. Customers choose what size burger they want and how they want it cooked. Burgers range in size from 1/3 lb to 1 lb. I chose a 1/3 lb mushroom swiss burger, while two of my players, who'd just finished playing a game, went for the 1 pounders. They were huge. Pretty funny to watch a teenaged girl scarf down a burger as big as a plate.
After the customer recieves her/his burger, s/he dresses it at a huge condiment bar (the whole place is self serve). The condiment bar contains every imaginable burger dressing from tomatos and onions to jalapenos, pickles, relish and so forth.
The food is is good if you like burgers (one of the players said hers was the best burger she'd ever had), but the real attraction for kids and teens is the game room.
There you'll find video games, of course, but also air hockey and big versions of Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). My players had an impromptu DDR contest between themselves and other customers. Pretty funny to watch - some of my players worked harder playing DDR than they did playing the basketball game!
Anyway, if you're looking for a place to go with a group of kids, consider Fuddruckers. You can't find one in Marin, but there is one in Daly City and several in the East Bay.
Food: 2 forks
Ambience (if you're in a partying kind of mood): 3 forks
