Introduction

              Growing up in a semi-large family in Highlands Ranch, we often were in search of restaurants that the entire family would enjoy.  To help others with this search, I have evaluated five different restaurants in the Highlands Ranch area that are billed as family restaurants. Based on the things I learned from my own family, I used three different criteria in which to evaluate each restaurant, including atmosphere, food quality and variety, and service. I will also give each restaurant an overall score between 1 to 10 with one being the worst and ten the best.
