Theater District recs with small children

My brother and his two under seven kids will be in town and want me to take them someplace for a quick snack after the Gazillion Bubble show. Any recs for kid-friendly places in the low 50's or upper 40's that are not complete tourist traps would be appreciated. I considered Ellen's Stardust, but they weren't so speedy last time I took people there.

    There's both a Five Napkin Burger and a Shake Shack in the west 40s. I'm sure the line at Shake Shack will be crazy as usual; but 5 Napkin Burger takes reservations.

      Kids like Vynl at 51st and 9th and there's decent enough food and drinks for adults.

        We went there after the bubble show with 4 adults and 4 kids and it was fine. As stated, decent enough...maybe even a little better.

        John's Pizza has an outpost on west 44th street. It's very spacious and great for kids!
