Grazing Here - Peachtree City



Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Kids' Menu: Yes
Proportions: Small
Noise Level: Typically, just right.  But as my mom put it, "It was chaotic when a couple families let their children run free and unsupervised on the patio while they dined inside in ignorant bliss."
Food:  
Ordered:   Wee Dare (burger, fries, cookie, & drink), Wee Dog (hot dog, fries, cookie, & drink), Lil Dare (single burger), The Cheater (bacon cheeseburger), Side Salad, & Sweeties (sweet potato fries)
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎

Comments:  Kids eat free here every Tuesday night with the purchase of a burger/fry/drink combo, and they have cool games to play.  The burgers are good and I like the fries.  The rest of my family likes the sweet potato fries.  My mom says that their sweet potato fries are the BEST EVER!  The kids' burgers are really small.  I think I'm ready for a grown-up meal.  They also play music here on the weekends, but we've never seen it. -The Blackwell Boys

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Krog Street Market


Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Kids' Menu: No (But they will give you a kid size scoop)
Food:  
Ordered:   Dark Chocolate Ice Cream, Chocolate Hazelnut Macaroon Ice Cream Sandwich
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎

Comments:  Everyone likes ice cream.  And this place has a lot of ice cream to choose from.  My parents really liked their ice cream sandwiches, and my brother and I liked our plain, old, regular chocolate ice cream.  But be careful when ordering here; some ice creams may look good but they have weird ingredients inside like the Yazoo Sue with Rosemary Bar Nuts.  I suggest you sample first. -The Blackwell Boys

Superica - Krog Street Market



Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Kids' Menu: Yes
Proportions: Huge!
Shirley Temple: N/A
Noise Level: Too Loud!  You had to shout to the person sitting next to you to be heard.
Food:  
Ordered:   Tortilla Chips, Kids' Chicken Soft Tacos, Kids' Crispy Beef Tacos
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎

Comments:  We had a 1hr 50min wait.  I don't think we've ever waited that long before.  Superica does not take reservations, so if you really want Tex-Mex you just have to wait.  We did walk around Krog Street Market, and had our dessert before dinner at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams.  By the time we sat down to eat at Superica it was almost past our bedtime!  Everyone really liked what they got to eat and a plate of rice and beans was served family style to the table.  The tortilla chips were good.  My parents liked both the green and red salsas, but they were too spicy for me.  They were even too spicy for my little brother, and he likes spicy things!  Our server was really nice.  I think if we had gone when it wasn't so busy we would have liked it better. -The Blackwell Boys

Meat 'N" Greet - Newnan



Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Kids' Menu: No
Proportions: N/A
Shirley Temple: N/A
Noise Level: Just Right.  We could talk and joke around and we weren't shushed by mom and dad.
Food:  
Ordered:   Sliders Platter: Pulled Pork minus the mojo slaw and Sloppy Joe; Dip-N-Dog (Corn Dog); Textbook Dog w/ fries
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎

Comments:  Normally no Kids' Menu is a good thing cause I get to eat an adult sized meal, but that wasn't the case here.  The hot dog I had was really good, but it was not enough for me.  They gave me a ton of fries, but they weren't the greatest.  And as much as I love fries, I don't want to eat a whole plate full of them.  Our family had ordered an extra meal (a corn dog!) because my dad had to try it.  Luckily, he let me split it with him!  It tasted awesome.  (Beware- the ketchup that comes with the corn dog is super spicy!) -The Blackwell Boys

Il Localino - Inman Park


Can't wait to go back and have more good food and lots of fun at Il Localino!  It's been a while since we've been, but I'm pretty sure they don't have a kids' menu.  I don't remember what I ate, but it was good and it was Italian.  And the hats and the singing waiters were so cool. -The Blackwell Boys

Grub Burger Bar - Cobb Galleria


Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Kids' Menu: Yes
Proportions: Small, but they do make up for what's lacking with the plentiful side item of your choice.
Shirley Temple: N/A
Noise Level: Just Right.  We could talk and joke around and we weren't shushed by mom and dad.
Food:  
Ordered:   Kids Cheeseburger, Chicken Fingers, You're My Boy Blue w/ Side Salad
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎

Comments:  I'm not so sure about this place.  My mom and brother loved what they got (both burgers and my brother got fruit while my mom got a side salad).  My mom loved hers so much she's been wanting blue cheese burgers wherever we go.  Gross!  I did not like the chicken fingers.  They were tough to eat and they didn't have a lot of chicken in them.  My dad really liked the chicken fingers and finished them off.  The fries didn't taste like anything but oil and whatever junk they put on top of them.  I couldn't eat them; my mom's oven cooked fries from the freezer taste better.  Next time I will order something else. -The Blackwell Boys

Zoës - Peachtree City



Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Kids' Menu: Yes
Proportions: It depends on what you order.
Shirley Temple: N/A
Noise Level: Just Right.  We could talk and joke around and we weren't shushed by mom and dad.
Food:  
Ordered:   Kids Grilled Chicken Fingers, Kids Roll Up
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎



Comments:  This is the best fast food place in this area.  The roll ups are kind of small, but they do come with chips or your choice of a side.  They have the best limeade and give you free refills.  I like coming here in the summer cause you can sit outside.  If you come with lots of friends, you can sit in a private room and be as loud as you want! -The Blackwell Boys

Antico Pizza - Westside


Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Kids' Menu: No
Proportions: N/A
Shirley Temple: N/A
Noise Level: Just Right.  We could talk and joke around and we weren't shushed by mom and dad.
Food:  
Ordered:   Lasagna Pizza, Margherita Pizza
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎

Comments:  It was really cool watching the guys make the pizza.  You could see them from your seat.  They threw the dough up super-high in the air.  When you got your pizza, you didn't get forks or plates!  You had to eat off a napkin.  It was awesome!  The pizza was really good, too.  This place might be my all-time favorite if my parents could order something normal like cheese or pepperoni. -The Blackwell Boys

Veni Vidi Vici - Midtown

Charles and the fish that didn't get away!

Overall Score:  ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Kids' Menu: No
Proportions: N/A
Shirley Temple: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Noise Level: On the Quiet side.  We had to use our best inside voices.
Food:  
Ordered:   Smoked octopus, Branzino, Ricotta and spinach ravioli, Lasagna
Taste: ☺︎☺︎☺︎
Temp: ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎
Looks: ☺︎☺︎

Comments:  The Shirley Temples were awesome, but they only gave you one cherry.  And they didn't give you kid cups, so my mom had to help my little brother hold his drink so he didn't spill.  I was a little nervous to try octopus, but I think it kind of tastes like shrimp.  I like calamari a lot better.  My dad and I shared the Branzino.  They bring the whole cooked fish out to you (with its head still on!) before they take the bones out!  My brother had the Lasagna; he seemed to like it.  I know my dad did; he ate most of it!    My mom had the Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli.  She said it was drowning in a sea of butter.  I tried some and liked it, but I liked the fish better.  I will definitely come back for the fish. -The Blackwell Boys
