Family Restaurants near El Cerrito, CA

“Always comfortable with good food and friendly staff. The main problem with Fat Apples is that you have to walk past huge pastry cases loaded with house-made pastries, cookies and pies. The specials are great. My favorite specials are the chicken schnitzel with their sublime spaetzel ( I've yet to encounter other such delicate spaetzel in the area) and anything with their salsa verde. You'll walk out satisfied and probably carrying a bag of those insidiously displayed cookies. Or a pastry. Or a pie.Vegetarian options: There's vegetarian pizza if you get there early enough. All salads can be made vegetarian and vegan, on request. Breakfast selections include a great garden scramble, which can be made vegan if you request no cheese.Parking: Parking can be difficult on a weekend morning. Popular place.Kid-friendliness: This is a favorite place with families. The menu is easy and inviting for kids. It's not unusual to see big family groups of multiple generations. People bring their kids for meals after they finish their kung fu lessons across the street. You just have to get the kids past the cookies.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible with ramps, flat surfaces, large restrooms with safety rails.“

“I had an amazing time at this restaurant for iftaar/dinner! Our favorites were the chicken tikka masala with Naan (they have the finest Naans!) and the beef/chicken seekh kababs. The cleanliness was excellent, which was a major benefit.I'll be recommending my friends and family about this place without a doubt! Our entire experience was made better by the owner's warm welcome and her kids. We had a great time eating at a Pakistani/Indian restaurant back home because of the atmosphere!“

“I got the club sandwich and it was surprisingly really good! The waitress also suggested a cup of peaches, i had no idea i wanted that and it was good as well. Sadly i wanted the french dip or the American dip but they were out of french rolls but that just means i can come back and enjoy it another time. Cool American diner.“

“Soooo good! Nothing here is bad. The tri-tip is to die for!“

“Everything was smackin except for the Mac n Cheese it was like greasy & too much seasoning for me. But I guess bcuz its 6 cheeses in it..Yeah I just like the Sharp Cheddar in mines I'm thinking. The Oxtail,Rice n Gravy,Yams & Cornbread was on point .But I am going back to try different things like the Prawns & Chicken “
