While I grew up in a family of five kids and fully understand the difficulties of going out to eat with a big family, this list was not created by me. I don't have any kids so I have to leave this up to the locals that leave comments online regarding the best family-friendly restaurants. You can even use Yelp and search by restaurants that are "good for kids".
