Kid-Friendly Restaurants

Andes, Delaware County

If you need a low-key stop with room for kids to spread out while parents catch a breather, this is it! There's a big outdoor picnic area in the front and you can order right at the counter window.  Andes General Store has classic counter fare that's actually worth stopping for: we tried the grilled chicken sandwich, chicken cutlet, and the Cuban, and all three were delicious. The donuts are exceptional, and don't skip the ice cream—they scoop it right from the same window! It's also genuinely convenient: stock up on household essentials while you're there, or grab one of their grain bowls (also delicious!) if you need something premade and easy.

💡 Best donuts around!

Bovina, Delaware County

Brushland Eating House is a favorite among locals, weekenders and travelers alike. The food here is fantastic, featuring local, seasonal fare and a menu that changes weekly. On Thursday and Fridays you can order from their a la carte menu but on Saturdays they offer one seating and serve a three course, family-style meal. Tickets for Saturday seatings need to be purchased in advance (beer & wine is served a la carte). Doors open at 6 pm and dinner begins promptly at 7 pm.

💡 While they don't offer a kids menu, coloring pages or toys like other restaurants on our list, they are very accommodating and welcoming to kids and parents with children of all ages in-tow!

Hamden, Delaware County

Delicious food, a staple kids menu, activities corner with books and toys and an outdoor seating area with picnic tables under string lights make Hamden Inn a great kid-friendly restaurant in the Catskills.

Arkville, Delaware County

One of the best kid-friendly restaurants in the Catskills. With a dedicated kids room filled with toys off the main seating area, kids can roam and play while parents enjoy a delicious meal just a few feet away. Located in the heart of Arkville, Cafe Mornings is a cozy, family-run Korean café where kids can enjoy a playful corner all their own, pups are greeted with treats, and their in-house market is stocked with unique pantry staples, Asian spices, and thoughtful gifts to take home.
