Kid-friendly restaurants in Scottsdale

A German beer garden with shade trees, long tables and cornhole and Jenga on the lawn, so kids play while you finish.

A lawn where kids can run around with a ball, plus fire-pit tables on the patio overlooking the golf course.

Crayons arrive as soon as you sit, and the kids' menu runs to wood-fired cheese pizza and meatball sliders.

Breakfast all day, with s'mores pancakes and chocolate-strawberry cakes, on an indoor-outdoor patio.

A pink ice cream parlor going since 1958, with banana splits, a mini arcade, and burgers and grilled cheese for the actual meal.

A gas station with a barbecue counter and a big fish tank kids head straight for, plus pulled-pork sliders sized for them.

Watch planes take off and land at the airport from your table, which keeps kids busy through the whole meal.
