Dairy Queen Treat - SW Archer Road

Drive-through with sliders and chicken tenders sized for kids, and applesauce or milk on the side.

Youth sports teams base themselves here, and the courtyard gives kids somewhere to stretch out after a day in the car.

The one that feeds you twice: hot breakfast and an evening food spread, which covers a lot on a short trip. Two-room suites have a pull-out sofa.

Hot breakfast included and suites to choose from, a sensible pick when you're watching the budget.

All suites, each with a kitchenette and a partial divider, so there's a bit of separation for an early bedtime. Not a closed second bedroom.

A sit-down steak dinner, with chicken fingers or mac and cheese for the kid who won't touch steak.
