What To Expect At The Best Family-Friendly Chicken Tender Restaurants
Today’s families are busier than ever, juggling jobs, school events, sports practices and games, road trips, after-school hobbies and more. When you’re trying to squeeze in a quick family dinner while you’re out and about, you need something fast and tasty that appeals to everyone. One of the best options in fast-casual dining that the whole family can agree on is chicken tender restaurants.
Chicken tender restaurants are a hit with both adults and kids because they specialize in delicious chicken that’s fast, no-fuss and easy to eat, and can be enjoyed plain or in a variety of dips and sauces to change things up.
Not all chicken tender restaurants are created equal, though. At Huey Magoo’s Chicken Tenders, we believe our customers deserve the best — the best atmosphere, the best ingredients, the best service, the best flavor, the best value and the best dining experience.
Here’s what you should expect at the best family-friendly chicken tender restaurants, like Huey Magoo’s:
Welcome In!
While it’s true that there’s no place like home, sometimes dinner around the kitchen table just isn’t in the cards. A good family-friendly restaurant can be an acceptable alternative. The best chicken tender restaurants are clean, well-lit and welcoming. At Huey Magoo’s, for instance, we think our bright, cheerful, clean, family-friendly atmosphere makes a good substitute when you can’t eat at home. You’ll also find warm, attentive staff members and a relaxed vibe where families with kids of all ages can feel comfortable.
The Best Ingredients Make The Best Food
It’s no secret that high-quality ingredients make food that just tastes better. Since 2004, Huey Magoo’s has held to that philosophy, using only real chicken tender meat. Chicken tenders come from the chicken tenderloin, which is a small, thin strip of muscle found beneath the chicken breast. Making up only 3% of the total weight of a chicken, the chicken tenderloin is naturally juicy and very tender (hence the name!) and represents the best portion of chicken. That’s why we call it “The Filet Mignon of Chicken®.”
Parents can feel good that chicken tenders are high in protein. Kids love the great taste of chicken tenders. Well, who are we kidding? Parents love that part too. Don’t forget to try out some of our homemade and specialty dips to elevate the flavor even more.
The quality doesn’t stop with our Chicken Tenders, though. We also serve tasty salads made with mixed greens and toppings like cranberries, walnuts, grape tomatoes and raspberry walnut vinaigrette (Magoo’s Favorite Salad!) for an even healthier dining option. Add some grilled or hand-breaded Tenders or Tender Bites to any salad for a burst of protein and drizzle our handcrafted ranch dressing on top for a truly exceptional experience.
Picky-Eater Approved Menu Options
There’s a reason people everywhere like chicken tender restaurants. What’s not to like about a restaurant that has something on the menu for everyone — even picky eaters? No matter how old your kids are, you’ll find kid-approved menu options, including the Little Magoo’s Meal with hand-breaded Chicken Tenders or Tender Bites, Texas Toast, Crinkle-Cut Fries, Magoo’s Dip and choice of beverage.
Parents appreciate that they have the option to choose appropriately sized portions with a kids’ meal made just right for smaller appetites and still have a variety of delicious meal options that appeal to adults as well. Let the kids dive into Little Magoo’s Meals while the grown-ups enjoy chicken tender sandwiches, wraps and salads.
You also have the option to get a family-sized meal for everyone to share. Both the 20 Piece Family Meal and the 30 Piece Family Meal come with grilled or hand-breaded Tenders, Texas Toast, dip options and your choice of sides.
Make It Easy On Yourself
One of the main draws of fast-casual dining restaurants is convenience. To make your dining experience as smooth and efficient as possible, the best chicken tender restaurants will usually have several convenient service options:
Quick Counter Service
Because chicken tenders are easy to prep and cook up quickly, they work well with a quick-service model, where you can order at the counter and have your food ready just minutes later. For families with children, this option can be a huge benefit since you know you’ll get freshly made food without having to wait a long time with hungry kids.
Online Ordering and Third-Party Delivery
Many restaurants, including the best chicken tender restaurants, now offer an option to order online before you get to the restaurant or go through the drive-thru. Some locations might give the option to order online and have a third-party delivery service, such as DoorDash and Uber Eats, bring the food to your house, making it even more convenient. These ordering options allow you to choose when you want your food and let you skip the line.
Drive-Thru
When you’re on the road or have a busy schedule, it’s a relief to know you can go through the drive-thru and get everyone exactly what they want without even getting out of your car.
Catering
Hosting a birthday party? Having a family reunion? In charge of snacks after the soccer game? Huey Magoo’s offers catering trays and family meal deals that are perfect for parties, events, school functions, sports teams and more. Entrees, dips, drinks, sides, desserts — we have it all. We make it easy to order our catering services. Some locations even offer delivery and setup, so you really don’t have to worry about anything.
Customize Your Meals
Of course, chicken tenders taste great on their own, but their versatility means you can customize your meal by choosing different entrees or sides. At Huey Magoo’s, you can choose from our hand-breaded Chicken Tenders or Tender Bites or grilled Chicken Tenders. Then, pair them with delicious Homemade Dips, including handcrafted Magoo’s, Spicy Magoo’s or Ranch, and Specialty Dips, like buffalo, honey mustard, barbeque, bleu cheese, sweet heat or garlic parmesan. Add your favorite side dishes to your meal or enjoy your tenders in a tasty sandwich, salad or wrap.
