Kid-Friendly Restaurants In & Near Saratoga: Bring the Whole Family!
Want to indulge in the vibrant culinary scene in Saratoga, but with the entire family in tow? Check out the following kid-friendly restaurants in and near Saratoga Springs.
Experience Saratoga's Vibrant Past at a Historic Venue
You'll feel like you stepped back in time at the historic Olde Bryan Inn, which traces its heritage back to the eighteenth century. For the adults, they serve a large menu of classic American and international fare with unique twists, and feature daily lunch and dinner specials.
Their kids menu has several enticing options, including a turkey dinner, mozzarella sticks, mac & cheese, pasta, hamburgers, and several kinds of chicken, all of which come with a drink and dessert. And if they've never tried poutine, this is the place!
"They brought us crayons and paper kids menus - there were a lot of activities on it (more than we usually see at other restaurants). They also brought our kids cups with lids and straws," said one patron.
Get Kid (and Adult!) Friendly Comfort Food at Beer Wine Pizza
With a menu full of delicious favorites, like hand-tossed pizzas, angus burgers, mac-and-cheese, and tacos, Beer Wine Pizza (BWP) in Saratoga is sure to be a hit with both the kids and grown-ups.
You'll find cheese pizza, mini cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, chicken fingers, and a side salad with grilled chicken on the kids menu. Bonus tip: Get a free kids meal with the purchase of an adult meal on Thursdays!
"The outdoor dining this time of year is great with the kiddos, because they have their cornhole and KamJam games out," said one reviewer. "Always nice and friendly with kids," said another.
Enjoy Breakfast or Indulge in a Sweet Treat
Sweet Mimi's Café and Bakery is just as it sounds - a satisfying cafe menu of breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, French toast, and omelettes, along with a cafe of delicious goodies to go. The menu leans more sweet than savory, which the kiddos will love.
Help your children customize the perfect breakfast for them, and make sure to try the famous Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, as seen on Beat Bobby Flay!
"Great and friendly servers, and excellent food! The hot cocoa is to die for," said one patron.
Savor Some Fantastically Good-for-You Barbecue
Dizzy Chicken Woodfired Rotisserie is of course known for their chicken, but they have a robust menu that includes burgers, paninis, cold sandwiches, meatloaf, ribs, and plenty of sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, corn bread, sweet potato fries, and more that kids will love. Get the Dizzy Bites (like chicken nuggets) for an appetizer!
"This is a great find off the beaten path in Saratoga. It is definitely worth a visit," said one reviewer.
Treat Everyone to Family-Style Italian Cuisine
Go out for a dinner of comfort food that everyone will love. Augie's Family Style Italian Restaurant serves large portions that are meant to be shared or taken home for a second meal. Entrées are enough to feed at least two people, so you can select a couple and split them among the whole family.
"You get so much food and it's amazing!" as one visitor puts it.
Go Out for an Authentic Mexican Meal Together
Choose from a wide selection of locally-sourced, authentic Mexican food at Cantina on Broadway. Their dining room embraces southwestern style in a simple, modern, and warm manner. Adults will love their drink options.
The kids menu includes Mexican favorites like burritos, quesadillas, and make-your-own tacos, as well as tried-and-true staples like chicken tenders and hot dogs. Try their churros or deep-fried ice cream for dessert.
"The kids meals (we ordered the build your own tacos) are a great size and also perfect for picky toddlers because it's basically all taco ingredients on the side and they can pick only what they like," said one customer.
Sample Unique Locally-Grown Fare
Comfort Kitchen, located on Broadway, offers plenty of interesting and innovative dishes made with products from local farms.
Although they don't have a kids menu, they make kid-friendly dishes like mac & cheese, grilled cheese, and burgers. They also have an array of fun sides, like sweet potato chips and their signature tater tots.
"This is a great hidden gem. It's in the Saratoga Marketplace on the first floor, and the food is absolutely delightful," said one reviewer.
Taste Some Award-Winning Mac & Cheese and More Pub Fare
Druthers is more than just a well-known local brewing company - it's also a great place for the whole family to enjoy. They specialize in classic comfort food and pub fare, and their menu changes seasonally.
They offer unique twists on their mac & cheese (they've won the local Mac-n-Cheese Bowl twice), as well as wood-fired pizza and a variety of sandwiches, burgers, and salads.
With so many options from which to choose, you don't need to sacrifice trying unique local restaurants in the name of finding cuisine the whole family will love.
