Taking your family out to eat isn’t always an easy task. If you end up at a place that isn’t as welcoming to families, you might feel uncomfortable, while pricier establishments make it feel like you’re spending a small fortune. But here in the Dickinson, Texas, area, you can find several restaurants that welcome your family and make the experience more affordable.
Gio’s Flying Pizza & Pasta
Most kids love pizza, so Gio’s Flying Pizza & Pasta is a great spot to take your family. It’s located on FM 517 W., just west of I-45 South, in Dickinson. Dine in for dinner and choose from a variety of pizza and pasta dishes, like Pizza Blanco, topped with creamy Alfredo sauce and three types of cheese, or the meat special, piled high with bacon, pepperoni, hamburger, Canadian bacon, and Italian sausage. If you’d rather eat at home, this restaurant offers takeout and pizza delivery within the area. The children’s menu includes two pasta options along with chicken tenders for pickier eaters.
Jimmy Changas
Located in League City, which is less than five miles from Dickinson, is Jimmy Changas. This Tex-Mex spot offers several tools that make dining with your family more enjoyable, like the free app that allows you to view the wait time and add your party to the list (for groups with six people or fewer). Younger kids often struggle with waiting for a table, so this will simplify the process.
The kid’s menu is available for those ages 12 and under and includes favorites like mini cheese quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas, chicken nuggets, and macaroni and cheese, served with a drink and soft-serve ice cream. The menu also includes tasty appetizers, soups and salads, grilled entrees, and Tex-Mex favorites. Gluten-free options also are available. Jimmy’s also has a full bar.
Red River Bar-B-Que & Grill
Another family-friendly dining spot in the area is Red River Bar-B-Que & Grill, where you can enjoy delicious and authentic Texas barbecue with the whole gang. Smoked meats on the menu include pulled pork, spicy sausage, brisket, ribs, and chicken. Each entrée comes with mouth-watering side dishes like potato salad, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, onion rings, French fries, baked beans, or pinto beans.
Kids ages 12 and under can try a meat plate or stick to the basics, such as a corn dog, hot dog, grilled cheese sandwich, burger, or chicken tenders, served with fries and a drink. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a slice of homemade coconut, chocolate, lemon, or pecan pie, or some peach cobbler served warm with ice cream.
Kelley’s Country Cookin’
Also in League City, Kelley’s Country Cookin’ offers classic Southern comfort food that your family will enjoy. Breakfast is available all day, so if your children love eggs, French toast, or pancakes, make sure to come here. The menu also includes lunch and dinner options for kids, such as a hot dog, grilled cheese sandwich, fish sticks, or strips of chicken or country-fried steak. You can also find heart-healthy menu options along with daily specials and promotions for seniors.
