nothing like having your hundred dollar meal ruin because mom and dad can't/won't control junior
Hell yes.
Let me say this as a parent...there is no reason that your children can't be taught to eat a meal properly in a restaurant that doesn't serve chicken fingers and french fries. My kids did it all the time. And, if one of my kids acted up, he/she was taken outside or to the restroom until the behavior stopped so as not to disturb other patrons. Those are THE PARENT RULES. That's what you are supposed to do. Children are supposed to SIT IN A CHAIR AND EAT. If you have a toddler, you should plan to bring snacks/activities to keep them occupied. Your children are NOT supposed to run around a restaurant or speak in outdoor voices. This is not ****ing rocket science.
Would you go to a restaurant that banned crying and or screaming children?
I would. You do not want to be sitting there trying to enjoy your meal and some kids are screaming or crying because some twits who can't control their kids.

so because the kids are autistic the other patrons should just have to put up with bad behavior? I feel for the parents of kids with disabilities, but that doesn't give them the right to intrude upon the rights of others.
the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. damn that Vulcan logic.
That's what I can't figure out -- it is embarrassing to me as a parent when my kid acts up. I guess maybe those parents have no sense of shame, or it is superceded by their laziness or inability to control their kids. :shrug:When my two were like that I felt like I couldn't get out of the place fast enough - I'd just leave as quickly as possible. it was SO humiliating to have *the* horrid children.

Or maybe, because they are used to dealing with a disabled child, they feel like they are entitled to be accommodated.

I voted "yes".
With one caveat, however.
Perhaps instead of a total ban, add a special sound proofed dining area with padded walls for those who had crying/screaming children? :mrgreen:
But seriously, a separate sound-proofed area might be an option, if enough screaming parents with kids kept trying to have a meal there...wait...Ah well, close enough.
Would be extra expense, though.
I wonder if this is an outgrowth of what happens during mealtime at home. I bet it is, actually. At my house, mealtime is mealtime, not playtime, not television time, not torment the dog time, etc. You sit, you eat, you put away your dirty dishes, and then you can go back to running around or whatever.
This is a beach town, she's shooting herself in the foot with this rule.
then again the story is sensationalized, they are not "banned" but told if you have a screaming child you will be asked to take said child outside.
We take our one year old out to eat all the time. We do it early around 5 ish. IF you are bothered by his antics you can go pound sand.
your kid misbehaves
and those who are subjected to that unacceptable behavior can pound sand
sounds like you are within the demographic that carolina beach restaurant is targeting with this policy
