Theatre District restaurants

Anyone know of any good message boards to discuss dining options for pre theatre?

I'd like to find a fun place to take kids in the theatre district area for dinner before a Sunday evening show at 6:30.

Thanks!

John's Pizza (44th St near 8th Ave) is very noisy, but the pizza is good and the space (a converted church) is interesting.
My kids also liked Bubba Gump's--around 44th St. & Broadway--a touristy place,and pricey, but the food is surprisingly good. Of course, it helps if they have seen "Forrest Gump" so they can "get" the decor and menu items. Beware of the gift shop!
There's also Dallas BBQ on 42nd between 7th & 8th. I believe they closed for a while and then reopened; I haven't been there since then, so I don't know if it's still good, but when I was there the food was very good.Another very large, noisy place (but not quite as noisy as John's.)
Of course, my favorite place to eat before a show is the Edison Cafe in the Hotel Edison (47th between 7th & 8th)--usually calm, a theater district landmark, good "diner" food--but it might not be "fun" enough for kids?

John's is good - but I wouldn't call it a "fun" place.

Karen had some good suggestions. I'd also add Juniors - which is pretty much an institution.

If you have some extra time with the kids - you should check out both the Hershey store and M&Ms - both are right across from each other.

If you have time - another fun thing to do is the Ferris Wheel inside Toys R Us...

I've had great success using MenuPages when looking for a restaurant. See link below.
