Kid-friendly restaurants in Livermore

A burger-and-shake spot built around kids from the name down: smash burgers, kid-sized everything, and shakes that count as dinner entertainment. Fast-casual, meltdown-tolerant.

Downtown Livermore BBQ with a kids menu, a big patio on First Street, and a come-as-you-are noise level. The Visit Tri-Valley pairing for a family day in wine country.

A special-occasion dinner kids remember: cheese fondue, chocolate fondue, and a Sunday family deal where kids 12 and under eat free with each adult Fondue Feast.

Known for its sourdough and croissants, and now a full dining room serving seasonal sourdough pizzas at dinner and a play area for kids.
