Mellow Mushroom is THE pizza spot for hungry families. But the Roswell location on Woodstock Road is especially perfect for kids, with an expansive lawn where patrons can play games under the oak tree, sit under the mushroom canopies, and just run around. Plus, the interior, with bright colors and cool art installations, is another great thing to focus on.

Enjoy this lakeside restaurant with the family at Lake Lanier. Fish Tales has a giant sandbox for kids to play in, either while they wait to get their food or after while parents relax.

Atlanta food halls are popping up all over the place, and they make the perfect dining options for families. These food halls offer multiple stalls, so picky eaters will be satisfied with the options (including tasty desserts and sweets). Many of these food halls also feature awesome outdoor spaces to play and run.

Vintage Pizzeria - Dunwoody

Vintage Pizzeria has three locations, but we love the one in Dunwoody because of its size and two separate dining areas: one is family friendly and the other is reserved for adults seeking a quieter dining ambiance.
