My family occasionally gathers at a pizza / chicken buffet place. They have private rooms available for free if you come with a group of people. Everyone buys their own buffet and we use their room for the family get-together for free for a couple hours. They take care of all the meal prep and cleanup. And no worries about that relative who can't figure out that it is time to leave so the host can go to bed.
$50 would be dinner for 4 or 5 people there, depending on time of day and mix of adults / children.
