25 Especially Child-Friendly Restaurants in San Francisco

"A couple of piers along, this funky landmark is just right for after an Exploratorium visit. The kids’ menu offers fish ’n chips as well as the standard burger, hot dog, and grilled cheese. Mixing up regulars and tourists for decades, this popular spot has bay views from its huge suntrap patio in the rear, and complimentary cowboy hats come with the crayons in a Mason jar. Parental tip: Avoid happy hour, though the restaurant does make its own fruit punch and a special kid drink called the Gold Rush that has 7-Up, grenadine, OJ, and whipped cream. Importantly, ice cream sundaes and root beer floats anchor the dessert menu." - Laura Smith Borrman, Christine Gallary
