I get there first, grab a table, and feel like I have sat down in Chucky Cheese&#8217;s.  There is a gaggle of about ten kids, ranging from 3rd to 6th grade by the looks of them, sprinting all over the restaurant, yelling and screaming.  What the hell?  I don&#8217;t even think I&#8217;ve <em>seen <\/em>kids in Buffalo&#8217;s before!<\/p>\n<p>Kevin and Steven arrive soon after and we order our food, kids running behind our chairs.  We spy out the parents that belong to these hellions, sitting at a large table in the restaurant, having a happy hour and not caring what the kids are doing.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of our dinner, I&#8217;m begging Kevin or Steven to stick out their foot to trip up one of the kids.  Give them some carpet burn and something to scream about, I say.  The waitresses were definitely pissed off.  After one kid almost ran one over, I saw her mime putting a gun into her mouth to another waitress, as if to say, &#8220;Shoot me now.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>When we left &#8212; and we had been there for probably a good hour and a half &#8212; those kids were still there.<\/p>\n<p>My God.  If you are gonna go to Buffalo Wild Wing&#8217;s for some booze and wings, you do NOT bring your ratty-ass kids along unless you&#8217;re gonna make them sit their butt down and watch Daddy drink his two pitchers of beer!  A restaurant is NOT a daycare center.  A kid can NOT be a kid at Buffalo&#8217;s or any other normal restaurant &#8212; only <a href=\"http:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/?p=342\">Chucky Cheese&#8217;s<\/a>, man.<\/p>\n<p>Everywhere else, you gotta behave politely like the grown-ups tell you to, or the crazy redheaded lady in the corner will beat you silly because SHE JUST CAN&#8217;T TAKE IT ANYMORE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buffalo Wild Wings.
