Happy Mother’s Day - Sunday, May 14th Tips For Dining Out On Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is right around the corner, & this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time & effort to their families. While gifts are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a meal out come Mother’s Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up & spend time together as a family. A vast number of families travel to their favorite restaurants for Mother’s Day meals. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. The National Retail Federation says 54.8% of Americans treat their mothers to a special meal out on Mother’s Day. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal. * Book early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance. It’s never too early to put your name on the reservation list. * Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don’t arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry & cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. * Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are generally packed on Mother’s Day, & as a result kitchen & wait staffs might be overtaxed. What’s more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting & the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day. * Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out. Many restaurants offer takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curbside service, so if Mom is in the mood for a burger or something more elaborate, she’ll have that option.

State Street, Rockford, serving 10:30 AM - 4 PM; and Tropical Oasis, 7450 Logan Avenue, Belvidere, serving 10 AM - 2 PM.
