We’re big fans of al fresco dining! My kids typically enjoy it more, and the open air tends to make their noise level not as intrusive to other people. There are a lot of Bucks County restaurants offering outdoor dining these days, but they’re not all necessarily places my picky eaters would enjoy. So here’s a list of kid-friendly Bucks County restaurants with outdoor dining during the warmer months. I’ve included menu summaries as well as a few bonus tips like if it’s near a playground or other local attraction.
NOTE: As restaurants usually start offering outdoor dining whenever the weather and staffing permits, you might want to check with the individual restaurant if it’s being offered yet if it’s early in the spring.
Bowman’s Tavern
1600 River Road, New Hope
Kid Food: One of my kids’ favorites for chicken and fries! They’ll also do grilled cheese, pasta with butter, and possibly a few other things. No actual kids’ menu – you need to ask.

TIP/ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS:
Even though my kids really love going out to eat, they can still get antsy waiting for their food. I always make sure I have a few things in my bag to occupy them. Personally, we don’t bring tablets to restaurants, but if that works for your family, go for it!
