There’s something for everyone – vegans, vegetarians and carnivorous brunchers of all ages – at A Full Plate Café, two years new in Northern Liberties. Revel in the “down-home” menu with fried green tomato salad or catfish fingers and be sure to try the award-winning chicken and waffles entrée. Vegan meatloaf and other veggie options are also available, and brunch specialties include unique treats like Mexican breakfast pizza. The “Lil Plates” options (think Mac and cheese, smashed sweet potatoes and green beans) are perfect for kids and double as tasty sides for grown-ups. Younger patrons can peek through the big, open window into the kitchen, trace the colorful hand-painted swirls on the tables and enjoy the fun decorations, including Christmas lights, children’s toys, umbrellas, flowerpots and vibrant artwork hung against a popping lime and blue background. Even the spacious bathroom features a chalkboard perfect for drawings and knobs on the walls for little ones to twirl. Staffers are sure to adore your kids, too; their fun “about me” board proclamations include, “I love babies” and “I’m a dad.” With roomy indoor and outdoor seating, the vibe is comfortable and laid-back, like eating at home – but with more kid-happy décor.
