It's really good for just about everyone. Kids usually love it, the food's awesome, and it's not too expensive. I actually worked at a Baton Rouge location some time back. I didn't realize there was a Mandeville location now! You should certainly try it. I'd recommend the Isabella salad, garlic mozzarella bread, fried calamari, a calzone, and the tiramisu. Those are the best in my opinion. The sensation salad's good, too. Yeah, I would definitely recommend DeAngelo’s. It’s really good for just about everyone.

Here some kid friendly resonably priced places to eat that I compiled from the MOMS Club. Hope this helps! I personally really like the Greek restaurant on 190 just before Big Lots...don't know the name but the food is great and atmosphere is beautiful. There's a new Thai Restaurant on 190 in Covington - a bit north of Walmart on the right hand side (not in a strip mall) that was really good - wish I could remember the name. Thai Pot in downtown Covington is also yummy. The moms club ate once at The Vineyard on Columbia St. in downtown covington, and that was yummy. My husband just ate at a new place that's right where 190 merges with the causeway approach to become Florida St... It's frech cajun cuisine and he said it was really good. If you like Chinese Sesame Inn which is on the right hand side just before you get on the causeway is also good. We just ate there last night- it's called Thai Chili and it is excellent. The people (appear to be husband and wife) that run it are so accomodating and welcoming. The food was excellent and the kids loved one of the rice noodle dishes. You can order the food at different levels of spicyness, too, which was nice. I liked the "hot." The kids did fine with "medium" (but my kids also love to eat raw onions and salsa straight up.) I highly recommend this place, and it wasn't busy at all, which I find very nice. As you drive up to Covington it is just past the St. Tammany News building (which is just past Chick Fil A) in a little strip mall. Petunia's, and I would second that for yummy food in a casual atmosphere...great po boys, jambalaya, etc... AND they have coloring pages and stickers and such out for the kids. Very kid friendly. Everytime my parents visit they have to go there for a BBQ Po Boy. We also like Casa Garcia for Mexican food. at the base of West Causeway Approach in the strip mall with Prudential Gardner (although as a former resident of California being served Mexican food by someone with blond hair kinda weirds me out, the food is pretty tasty. Highly recommend the turkey fajitas, and the burritos. Abby loves the bean dip) I vote for DeAngelo's. It is a great place to go on Friday or Saturday nights because it isn't loud and crowded. We can always get a table, it has a nice varied menu and is reasonably priced. Triple Nickel Grill on Florida have yummy hamburgers with sweet potatoe fries. I also like Petunia's on Hwy 59 Abita Brew Pub – It is appropriate for kids too. Hi Greta. Here some kid friendly resonably priced places to eat that I compiled from the MOMS Club. Hope this helps!
