Atlanta's Best Kid-Friendly Restaurants - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"The 57th Fighter Group Restaurant is a twofer for kids—part WWII aviation museum, part prime plane-watching spot. Sandbags are stacked to the ceiling, and you’ll walk through dramatic archways to find black-and-white soldier photos. Further inside, massive dining room windows give front-row views of planes taking off and landing at Peachtree-Dekalb Airport. If you want to be closer to the action, grab a patio seat. There’s more space for kids to stretch out and go wide-eyed at the runway while digging into bourbon-glazed wings or crispy shrimp. On weekends, hit the breakfast or brunch buffet ($45 adults, $20 kids)—it’s a solid deal, especially since plane-watching is an unexpectedly great meltdown deterrent." - demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
