Sweet and plump, little Junior is the light of your life--until he's demanding chicken nuggets and nothing but. Eating out as a parent means finding a delicate balance between your adult needs and the kid's nugget-centric wants. We scouted out a few places that do just that and might even provide alcohol to boot.

Despite being a European bakery in River Oaks, Epicure is actually very welcoming to kiddos?at least during daytime hours. Neighborhood mamas bring their offspring here for a Saturday afternoon eclair or slice of Princess Torte instead of the usual ice cream cone.
With plenty of space and even more food choices, Fadi's is a sure crowd pleaser. Everything from freshly squeezed juice and chicken kebabs to fried cauliflower and lamb is delicious, no matter your age.
It's no secret that this counter service spot from Michael Cordua is good for kids (the place is crammed with them and for good reason). S?mores keep the kiddos amused and plantain chips with chimichurri please the adult palate
Between the in-house magician and the graduation parties, this laid-back Italian restaurant is an archetype for family-friendly. Look to the specials like bistecca cippola, ribeye with spicy gorgonzola butter, or snapper with roasted fennel for a grown-up meal.
