Moms Eat Local: Hot Spot Diner

Moms know how tough it can be to eat out with little ones. Patch wants to help you know before you walk in the door if Hot Spot Diner is a good place to eat with your children.

Restaurant:

Is there a kids’ menu? Yes, it includes grilled cheese, burger or cheeseburger, hot dog, chicken fingers, spaghetti & meatballs, macaroni & cheese and roast turkey. The first four options come with french fries and all come with milk, soda or juice. What's cute is that the children's menu items come with names like "Barney," "Disneyland," "Spiderman" and "Tarzan."

Are there healthy options on the kids’ meal? The spaghetti & meatballs and roast turkey are the healthiest options.

How does the restaurant deal with food allergies? Alert your server and they will try to accommodate you as best they can.

Is the restaurant so quiet that any childish outburst will draw attention or is there enough noise that a small cry is likely to go unnoticed? It's a bustling diner so children and babies are more than welcome.
