The Best Kid-Friendly Family Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Pies are a great way to pack in protein and veggies for kids, especially when they’re hidden in an all-butter crust that even picky eaters will probably be open to. For the best pies in the area, head to San Diego’s own Pop Pie, which has five locations from Carlsbad to South Park. The restaurant serves classic pies with chicken and creamy herb sauce or steak and ale that will be a hit with kids and grown-ups alike, alongside signature flavors like green hog and cheese and roasted veggies in yellow curry pies. End with the tasty “Piescream” — a salted caramel apple crumble with Stella Jean’s Madagascar vanilla ice cream, finished with house-made caramel sauce. If kids are hankering for more Stella Jean’s ice cream, which is owned by the Pop Pie team, scoops are available onsite." - Helen I. Hwang
