My parents want to go to a restaraunt for dinner. They are wondering if there is anything we (my sister and I) can eat at Phil's Pancake House. I'm not overly optimistic. I feel like a jerk because I really don't want to go there. I'm thinking pancakes cooked on the grill means no grilled food. I highly doubt they have dedicated fryers for french fries. I'm thinking fruit salad. I really don't want fruit salad for dinner. I go to these places and sit there with a smile on my face and pretend I really don't care and say stuff like "oh, it's ok, I'll get something later" and "it's only one meal out of my life", my little supply of stock answers. Really, I hate every minute of it. My parents mean well, but they are older (in their 70's), and really, they just don't get the restaraunt thing, or maybe I should say the CC thing. Anyhow, before I quash their idea and then make them feel bad, I figured I'd at least ask if anyone has any experience with this place.

Thanks.
