If you have children, you know that dining out can be a touch-and-go situation. Hangry kids, long waits, and fancy food are not a good combination. I always appreciate a restaurant that offers something to keep the kids busy while we wait for our table to be ready or our food to be prepared. Luckily there is a great little family-friendly restaurant not too far from me that does just that. The FARM Bar and Grille in Essex, MA has fantastic food and a backyard full of games to keep everyone happy. 

The FARM Bar and Grille specializes in American comfort food. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting with a large wooden fireplace, wood-paneled ceilings, and fun decor.

The restaurant has a children’s menu with favorites like pizza, chicken fingers, and mac and cheese. There are also lots of kid-friendly food options on the regular menu.

Flatbreads, burgers, nachos, and quesadillas are all popular choices.
And, of course, there are many great food and drink items for adults.
