Kid-friendly dinner in Morristown?

I'm visiting Morristown on Saturday and am looking for a place for dinner with my family, including a 4-year old. Any suggestions on kid-friendly places? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Thanks for the suggestions! We had an early dinner at the Famished Frog on Saturday, which worked out very well with a small child.

    Unfortunately, I didn't get to Raul's for an empanada on this trip. But we did get ice cream at South Street Creamery for dessert.

    On Sunday morning, we hit the road and had a good breakfast at the Union Plaza Diner in Union, since it was on the way to our final destination.

        Assuming you'll still be with child <grin>, you can go to Jersey Boys Bagels or Time for A Bagel (a block further east) on South Street just off the Green...or I'm betting Copeland @ the Westin (outside of 'downtown' Morristown proper) does brunch, but that'll be more upscale...and/or if you haven't been to Raul's yet, he has breakfast empanadas, iirc!

        Just don't go to the Morristown Diner. PLEASE. If you do want to go to a diner, you'll have to travel a bit--if you're willing to do so, there's the Brookside in Whippany.

          I'm not sure if the Morristown Deli - not Diner! on Elm St. is open on Sunday, but that would be a good bet. South St. Creamery also does breakfast.

          Thanks for the recs! I think the Famished Frog looks like a good choice. I may have to try Raul's Empanadas, too!

            Fwiw, I've found that the empanadas freeze VERY well... Just sayin'. :-)

            I agree that Famished Frog is probably your best bet. If you like old school Italian, Portofino on Mills St. is very family friendly.

              Famished Frog should work for you...it's just off the Green. Food is fine; think Houlihan's kind of stuff, but at least it's not coming out of a corporate factory.

              Another option would be Raul's Empanadas, which is down the hill from the Green--but there's no table service, and sometimes the wait is a bit long (they fry 'em fresh). They're GREAT, though.

              Steer clear of the Morristown Diner (or whatever it's now called). UGH.
