Burgers, pizza, chicken tenders, and entertainment for them. Cocktails and dishes that don’t skimp on flavor for you.

Everyone’s gotta eat, but dining out with kids can be challenging. Let’s face it — these little balls of energy often require enticing food, plenty of elbow room, a distraction, or at least some form of entertainment (which also means the adults in their lives might need a cocktail or two). But dining out shouldn’t mean a family has to skimp on the quality of a meal.

Fortunately, Houston is home to a bounty of kid-friendly restaurants with offerings that adults can genuinely enjoy, too. There are neighborhood favorites that pack toys and games, as well as trendier spots with menus for the minis and excellent cocktails for the grown-ups. Here are some Houston restaurants perfect for pint-sized diners and their favorite grown-ups.
