A Fresh List of Kid Friendly Dining

[flip-flop]

I see lots have been traveling with youngin's in tow lately so I thought I'd ask if there is any place I should add to my kid friendly eating options.

I have:

Cruz Bay area -

Compass Rose/Pastory Gardens
Cafe Roma

Coral Bay area -

Skinny's
Vie's
Donkey Diner
Island Blues
Shipwreck

I must be missing some places in Cruz Bay. Help! Thanks. Duffy's used to be a good choice. What's there now? Is it similar?

We took our son to Rhumb Lines last year and thought it was good. There was lots to look at and keep his attention. (I will need to give it some thought for the upcoming trip as the bar swings may be more trouble than it is worth for a 2.5 year old)

There were tons of families at the Fish Trap during the same trip. We did not enjoy our meal but it had nothing to due with the make-up of the customers.

What about the Beach Bar? You could sit down on the beach with your food and the kids could wade in the water when they are done eating.

[flip-flop]

Those are both great choices. Thanks. I knew there had to be more!

What about Morgan's Mango?

[Nic in KC]

Banana Deck comes to mind. You have the stairs to worry about, but as far as having a menu and room/atmosphere to handle kids I think it meets all of those. We saw several families with kids dining outside at Margarita Phils too. Have had great food/service there twice this year and horrible food/service once.

I forgot about Morgan's Mango. The bartender was feeding our son virgin frosty drinks last visit. I think I remember seeing the owners (or maybe the manager's) kids in the restaurant over the years.

Our kids loved JJ's. Kid-friendly food like nachos/tacos/etc, and they had a great time chasing the roosters in that area. Plus there's an air-conditioned store right next door (forgot the name). We gave em a couple dollars to look around the store while waiting for food. It was HOT the last time we were there, and they were getting a bit crabby. Mom and dad enjoyed their beer(s) in peace!

[flip-flop]

You guys are awesome, reminding me of some obvious ones!

And in Coral Bay, I would add Miss Lucy's to your list. Yummy food, and there are goats and roosters to divert the kids!

Also, I have not been there so can't comment on the food, but there is China Shack in the Starfish building. Most kids love Chinese food.

[Nic in KC]

To add on to liamsaunt. We've been very pleased with China Shack's food. However, the restaurant is very tiny and dark. No one was in there when we picked up our food, but it is more of a carry out or delivery place to me. We had delivery this last time and everything was hot and just as we ordered it. It's not the cheapest meal around, but it was very nice when we'd been on Jost all day and didn't feel like going anywhere!

I would add High Tide for the same reason as Beach Bar. Sit at a table on the rail and the kids can play in the sand direclty below. The food was OK for lunch.

The dining pavilion at Concordia is good. There's room to move and kids about. They have cheap wine prices.

Cheers, RickG

My daughter loves Uncle Joe's BBQ. I told her there is a new BBQ place and she wants to try both and compare! We'll report back in November when we have made an executive decision!

[Ksea]

My son liked Chilly Billys, The Beach Bar, JJ's, the Banana Deck and Skinny Legs. The staff at all of these places treated him very well!
