Restaurants offering variety for pint-sized diners!
Parents can rely on children’s menus to serve up favorites such as mac and cheese and chicken fingers. These dishes are always good in a fussy-eating pinch, but sometimes it’s nice to have options that stretch kids’ culinary wings. Some local restaurants agree, adding more adventurous menu options for fledgling foodies.
Amalfi Buckhead
Skip the plain buttered pasta and have your little one dig into chicken alfredo, cheese ravioli or spaghetti and meatballs, all on the kid’s menu at Amalfi Buckhead. Highlighting classic Italian street food, this eatery also offers several pizzas to choose from. Top off the Italian feast with the kid-sized cannoli, one pastry stuffed with ricotta cheese and sweetened with confectioners’ sugar, chocolate chips and an orange candy.

Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q Westside
Introduce the little ones to some finger lickin’ barbecue at Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q Westside. The kid menu options include a pulled pork or chopped brisket sandwich and corn dog, along with the reliable grilled cheese sandwich and chicken fingers. The best part is each comes with a choice of a side, ranging from baked beans and mac and cheese to cornbread. Dig into the famous Frito pie (chili ladled over Fritos in a bag), but just make sure to hold the jalapeno and onion toppers.
