Charlotte Kid Friendly Restaurants

Trying to find a new kid friendly restaurant in Charlotte? I’ve got the ultimate round-up of the family restaurants for ya!

All of these restaurants were recommended to me by local Charlotte mamas (so you know they are good). And they are all places you can expect to be packed with families, offer a great kids menu, and there’s minimal side-eye judgment if your kids can’t stay in their seats or are glued to a tablet so you can have a conversation with your partner.

We tend to frequent the same few places over and over and over again (Cowfish, Sundries & Eddie’s Place), so I am super excited to branch out and take the kids to some new places.

But to be honest, I am most excited to try Burtons — SO many rave reviews!

Charlotte Kid Friendly Restaurants

1. Burtons Grill & Bar: The #1 most recommended restaurant! And specifically because of the kid’s menu, which is also allergy-friendly!
2. Legion Brewing South Park: Came in right behind Burtons (with only one less vote!). I honestly never thought to bring my kids here until y’all recommended it!
3. Brixx Wood Fired Pizza (Foxcroft Location): Another place we never think to visit. Several mamas raved about the lightning-speed service and the great patio!
4. Cowfish: This restaurant actually tied with Brixx in terms of votes! This is hands down our favorite family restaurant in Charlotte. I’ve never had a meal I didn’t love there and cannot recommend the bento box enough!
