WEST SEATTLE DIM SUM MAC

(Pickier kids love the mac and cheese and cornbread.) 5016 Rainier Ave. N.Ī mother-daughter team presents soul food with stellar menu items like fish and cheese grits, hush puppies, black-eyed pea dip, oxtails with rice and a variety of po’ boy sandwiches. There are a few non-bovine standouts, namely the Buffalo chicken sandwich, quinoa bowls and the rockfish sandwich.

Highlights include all the burgers, with toppings ranging from plain to the usual lettuce-tomato-onion to the fancy, like blue cheese and caramelized onions. With shakes for kids and beers for grownups, it’s a burger place you won’t tire of quickly. (Noteworthy: the beet, feta and orange salad, and curbside cocktails to go.) Mioposto is doing a great job, both with feeding the kids and keeping the pizza real. My husband and I are East Coast transplants - and visited Naples last year - so we have all sorts of haughty assumptions about pizza.

(Mount Baker, Admiral District, Ravenna, Mercer Island) (Extra perk: In a brewpub, no one can hear your kid screech.)Ĭantonese dumplings hold a special place in many kids’ hearts, and House of Hong will give them a great sampling of the time-honored tradition of weekend dim sum, now available for takeout and delivery. The pub fare for grownups - rotating chili specials, the tempura fish and chips, and the burgers - is outstanding, and the kids’ menu is about as extensive as I’ve seen, including chicken tenders as well as the fancier grilled chicken with sautéed veggies.
