Kid's at Boma

[chris7]

I would really like to try Boma but don't know what they have for kids. Have you gone with kids, mine are 3 and 6, and what did they like? Mine are not adventurous eaters. Thanks

I'd like to add my name to the list of people who would like to hear about kids at Boma. I've got a seven-year-old vegetarian son and want to make sure he'll have some choices.

We just ate there last week. My 9 year old son had a hard time finding anything he liked until we discovered the pasta. They had plain cooked noodles (rigatoni, I think), and you could add marinara sauce, and also meatballs. He says it was the best food of the week.

Of course he enjoyed the desserts, too. (Cookies)

Thanks. If they have mac n chz and chicken tenders my kids will be good to go.

We did breakfast at Boma, and my 3 kids were unimpressed. My dh said for that money there needs to be characters.

I'm a vegetarian and let me say, Boma is an awesome choice for vegetarians, especially if they're adventurous. We always encourage (okay, force) my 8yo dd to try some new and different things, but even if they're not her cup of tea, there's always the mac and cheese, fresh fruit (one of the benefits to a buffet over a regular restaurant--kid friendly foods that aren't all deep fried) and, if all else fails, kids that young (7 or 8) can always "top off" at the end with desserts. At least I won't have to listen to "I'm hungry" ten minutes after paying the $50 bill!
