Vanish and Flying Ace both have playgrounds and a food menu (I wouldn’t say the food is amazing, but Vanish’s pork BBQ nachos are actually good for bar food). Stone Tower Winery is popular and had a family-friendly outdoor section where you can let her run around. All three of these are open on Thursdays by noon.

This is your best bet.

We're taking our only child out to lunch tomorrow after kindergarten promotion, and I am looking for somewhere he'll enjoy with also good food and drinks/beers for my husband and me.

Must have: Good food, tables that oversee a play area or attached playground where kids can come and go from the table to play and back again.

I can think of several places like what I'm looking for in Mexico and Central America, but nothing here. Chuck-e-Cheese and Dave and Busters are too intense and not navigated independently by a 6 year old.
