A family meal is easier to choose when you know what everyone wants to eat. The Goodyear House has a children’s menu alongside its seasonal menu, Little Mama’s brings fresh pasta and mozzarella, and Milkbread keeps things casual with sandwiches and sweets. These are three different ways to put a meal together without expecting every family to want the same outing.

A children’s menu in NoDa
The Goodyear House gives children their own menu while the adults choose from seasonal Southern cooking. Gardens and patios add other spaces around the restored mill house. Ask for the table and any equipment your family needs when arranging the visit.
Pasta and mozzarella in SouthPark
Little Mama’s makes fresh pasta and just-made mozzarella an easy place to begin a family order. The broiler section offers meat and seafood for anyone who would prefer those to pasta. Use the Sharon Road location’s booking and arrival information for this SouthPark visit.
Sandwiches and doughnuts at Milkbread
Milkbread’s Central Avenue cafe works for a family meal that stays casual and relatively small. Chicken sandwiches and breakfast biscuits provide savory choices, while doughnuts and beignets can become a treat afterward. Choose the food and timing that suit the ages and appetites at your table.
The Goodyear House’s kids’ selection gives younger diners an order of their own while adults explore the kitchen. Little Mama’s makes Italian-American food the common ground. If a smaller meal is enough, Milkbread’s sandwiches, biscuits and doughnuts let people choose according to appetite.
Include children in the headcount when making a reservation. If you need a high chair, room for a stroller or a particular table, ask before arriving. Outdoor seating can also be part of a plan at Goodyear House, so ask about patio availability when reserving.
