Sad, but true. I do remember Johnny's Little Bar having great burgers, but it's pretty divey if you ask me. I'd take the kiddos to, as many said, the Winking Lizard, or I'd even suggest Masthead brewery on E 12th and Superior. Lots of room, big TVs, garage doors that open when it's nice out, good food, and very kid friendly (for being a brewery/alcohol joint). Oh, and it's pretty darned clean to boot.
