Kid-friendly restaurants in Alameda (6)

Dim sum on Webster Street where carts keep food arriving faster than any toddler can lose patience - and the pineapple buns at the end are the bribe that works. Big round tables fit the whole crew.

Piadine, pizzas, and pasta at South Shore Center with a kids menu and a Thursday kids-eat-free deal after 4pm - then walk the Alameda waterfront to settle dinner.

The most deliberately kid-friendly brewery in the East Bay: outdoor seating, sandboxes, arcade games, slushies, and food trucks on rotation at Alameda Point. Parents get a real beer list; kids get a playground with beer attached.

Former Navy base brewery that's kid-friendly with pinball machines and food trucks.

A big, loud restaurant in Alameda good for large family groups.

A takeout spot known for excellent BBQ pork wonton soup.
