With school back in session, it can be hard to plan meals between after-school activities and homework. Thankfully, these San Diego restaurants are here to help, offering kids menus perfect for a weeknight bite without the effort.
Wood Ranch
Wood Ranch in Mission Valley lends the perfect atmosphere for a family dinner, offering shareable plates and finger-licking barbecue, as well as a nationally recognized kids meal. The best part? If you show your server an online coupon on your phone (accessible via social media), you get a free kids meal with the purchase of an adult entrée! Kids meal options include Baby Back Ribs, BBQ Tri Tip Sandwiches, Fresh Atlantic Salmon and CAB Sliders, among other delicious specialties.
Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill
Take a load off after a long day at Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill where your kids can get their fill and you can refuel. Parents can sneak some extra veggies into the pizza experience with the location’s cauliflower crust option, and with so many shareable salads at your disposal, you’re sure to find something everyone will love. Looking for a way to involve your kids in the cooking process? Swing by one of the location’s for their take-home pizza kit, which comes with dough, sauce, basil and cheese, plus any additional toppings of your choice. Who says you have to do all the work?!
Farmer’s Table
Both family-friendly and brimming with delectable options, Farmer’s Table touts three locations in La Mesa, Bay Park and Little Italy, all offering kid-friendly options. Dig into their Calzone, packed with gooey mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, tomato sauce, organic spinach and natural ham, as well as a variety of their specialty woodfired pizzas. There’s something for everyone at this weeknight staple.
The Pioneer
For those families situated just outside of La Mesa, fear not! The Pioneer has no shortage of delicious barbecue dishes for both you and the kids. Share an order of Pioneer Smoked Chicken Wings, slathered in your choice of barbecue or buffalo sauces, or coated in a piquant dry-rub. Youngsters have the option of ordering from the Lil’ Piggies menu, featuring Mac ‘n’ Cheese, the Mini Porker, Hamburger and Chicken Tenders.
