Still looking for a restaurant to take mom to on Mother's Day? Well, there is no shortage of places offering free meals for her special day.

Some 35 percent of Americans dine out on Mother's Day and around one-in-10 will order takeout or delivery, according to the National Restaurant Association.

What do they want to eat? Seafood, says the NRA. Some 26 percent of moms are looking forward to a seafood meal, 16 percent want steak and 12 percent are looking to hit a buffet.
