Crescent Moon Eatery

  What’s on the menu: You’ll find an organic twist on home-style favorites at Crescent Moon, which serves breakfast (all day), lunch and dinner. Whole-wheat pancakes are a stand out (even the kid’s serving is the size of a dinner plate), as is the Fried Green Tomatoes sandwich. The child’s menu runs the gamut from french toast to burgers to grilled salmon. Be sure to save room for dessert, whether you choose a slice of cake or a frozen treat from the Northlake location’s soda fountain.

  Why your kids will like it: The decor has a sort of nouveau diner feel, complete with a counter and stools, that just screams “fun.” It’s definitely a laid-back dining experience, and kids are welcomed from the moment they walk through the door. The kid’s menu actually comes on a coloring sheet featuring the restaurant’s signature moon and stars, and you can admire the handiwork of past patrons, hung up near the host station.

  Why parents will like it: Crescent Moon loves kids, and it shows in the menu offerings and how the wait staff deals with kids. Blessed with a picky eater? It’s no problem to swap bread on a sandwich or get mac and cheese instead of fries on the side. There’s enough variety on the menu to appeal to everyone in the family, too.
