The best Houston restaurants to take kids: The Full Menu

In this month's installment of The Full Menu, food writers discuss some of their favorite places to take kids to eat (and play) in Greater Houston. In the audio above, we hear from David Leftwich of Edible Houston and Houston Food Finder and Timothy Malcolm of Chron.com.

Their first bit of advice: plan ahead. Go early when your kids aren't tired. Bring activities to keep them busy while they wait for their food. If they're fussy or acting up, you might not want to go somewhere that's quiet. And patios are your best friend.
