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

"Serving Central Texas-style wood-smoked meats, this sprawling indoor and outdoor barbecue joint is a kid’s paradise. There’s lots of room to play, afternoon live music, and a laid-back vibe in the East County establishment, and there’s a more urban location with outdoor seating in North Park. The kids’ menu has chicken strips and a pulled pork sandwich, but the general menu has wood-smoked meat options for carnivores of all ages, like tri-tip, brisket, and barbecue spareribs. On Sunday afternoons from noon to 6 p.m., the barbecue switches up to asado style, an Argentinian tradition centered on skirt steak and short ribs." - Helen I. Hwang
