The critic
We sent Miles, 7, to serve up his review.
Monday Wahoo! Grill Order Grilled shrimp with fries Fine Print 12 and under; 5 to 6:30 p.m. Verdict “The shrimp would be better with just butter. I don’t like the brown stuff [mom translation: grill marks]. Next time I want fish.” 1042 West College Avenue, Decatur
Tuesday Revival Order Fried chicken, mac and cheese Fine Print 12 and under; one free kids meal per adult, $5 per additional child Verdict “I like the music they’re playing; it’s like rodeo music. The chicken was super crispy.” 129 Church Street, Decatur
Wednesday Ray’s Rio Bravo Order Tacos Fine Print 12 and under Verdict “The salsa is good because it’s not too hot. I’m happy that they have flour bread—I mean, flour tortillas—instead of the crunchy ones.” 6450 Powers Ferry Road
Thursday Flying Biscuit Cafe Order French toast Fine Print 4 to 8 p.m. Verdict “We’re having breakfast—at dinner! I like the sauce that came with the biscuit; it tastes like a [Starbucks vanilla] steamer.” 1655 McLendon Avenue
Friday Radial Cafe Order Chocolate chip pancakes Fine Print 10 and under; one free kids meal per adult purchase Verdict “The music here is better than at the Flying Biscuit. The pancakes need more chocolate chips, though.” 1530 DeKalb Avenue
Saturday Tin Drum Asiacafe Order Teriyaki stir-fry with crispy chicken Fine Print 10 and under Verdict “I don’t like the carrots that are in there. Next time I’d try the sesame stir-fry because I really like sesame sticks more than carrots.”10800 Alpharetta Highway, Roswell, 770-641-5082
Sunday Genki Noodles and Sushi Order Tempura fried shrimp Fine Print 12 and under; kids eat free with an adult entree purchase Verdict “The tempura shrimp was yummy! The dipping sauce is really good. Plus they have two fish tanks; I like fish.” Multiple locations
