I know this is too late, but I'm surprised no one said Northstar. They have a nice kids menu, lots of health adult options and kids are very welcome.

I agree about zpizza.

I would say golden corral because they have almost every type of food, and kids would love a buffet that big.

Bagels by Captain Cream Cheese. Kids love Captains!

we were just at yellow brick pizza, with two families, three kids under five, worked well for us, what's healthier than pizza?
Since when is St James serving food?

This may seem wierd to people, but we used to take our little kids to Figlio with us. Just tried to get there early before the happening crowd. They have a plain cheese pizza, will make buttered noodles for the kids, bring out the basket of bread and put the white paper cover over the tablecloth. We would bring crayons and let them fill up the paper.

I would tend to say Figlio is not kid friendly. Mostly due to the elbow to elbow seating arrangement.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately the kids are kind of picky (and some of the adults too) so Mediterranean cuisine is out for the group. In the past we’ve gone to a couple Mexican restaurants and it’s worked well (El Vaquero and Cantina Laredo). Northstar is def. a great choice, but we were looking for more of a full service restaurant. Please keep the suggestions coming. (BTW I know they’ve taken the kids to Figlio before and it worked out well).

Both Cap City and Bravo have always worked well for us. Bravo is nice because the kids can draw on the butcher paper they put on all of the tables.

Pablo, you've said Bob Evans and "ask the kids what they like" ... not helping. One can't talk yet and the other eats chicken tenders everywhere we go. i dont' see Bob Evans as healthy btw.Your our previous choice was El Vaquero?
Not exactly a paragon of healthy eating... great food though.

I love El Vaquero but it definitely fits into comfort food.

Oh I agree ... El Vaquero wasn't my choice that day, but they did have some grilled chicken plates that seemed decently healthy.

second max and ermas.
Almost too kid friendly for grumpy old people like me.
Just pay for the sundae bar and set them loose.

starliner or louies (I think that's what it's called) very kid friendly and yummy.

Banana Bean Cafe is full of kid friendly menu items - we went this weekend with some family and my daughter who had a ball. $2 'ritas for the grown-ups too! Not exactly heathy (lots of fried) but you can all find something to enjoy.

Kids eat free on Sunday at the Old Bag of Nails. And the UA location has a balloon guy who comes to your table, not sure about the others. Maybe not tons of healthy food options but it's a kid-friendly atmosphere (with a decent beer selection!)
