The Best Kid-Friendly Houston Restaurants

"Ben Berg’s playful rendition of the vintage soda fountain shop makes diners feel like a kid in a candy shop. Buttermilk Baby’s eye-catching interior boasts vibrant hues, a life-sized carousel horse, an oversized sundae statue, and a charming ice cream bar with a sprinkle-filled center. Not only are buttermilk biscuits available, but the entire menu is kid-friendly with options like chicken sandwiches, burgers, chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, and grilled cheese. The true draw here is the dessert — Buttermilk Baby is the first Texas purveyor of Carvel ice cream. Choose from indulgent ice cream sandwiches, cakes, and soft serve, or an adult-only boozy milkshake." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley
