Folks who suggest the upper valley are spot on. Hanover is out of the way, though, and sort of impossible, parking-wise. West Lebanon has chain places (chili’s, Applebees), but also 110 Grill, which is pretty good, and Ziggy’s pizza (lots of different things there other than pizza). White River Jct has wicked awesome bbq right off 89/91, and further into downtown Tuckerbox is very good, as is Big Fatty’s bbq. These places are all pretty kid-friendly and easy to access from the interstate. Going further north there isn’t a lot that’s easy to access from 89.

Hanover parking’s been much more manageable lately, FWIW. If someone’s reference point is Boston or Burlington, it’s a breeze. Don’t disagree with the rest, though.

I was in Hanover today and I found parking after circling a bit. But a Saturday is going to be hard, and if they’re hungry and with a potentially cranky toddler, a place with a parking lot may be more palatable.

Second Ziggys. It's big and loud enough (but not too loud) that an infant won't make a dent.

That’s what I was thinking. And the food is pretty good.

Yeah the Calzones are my favorite

110 Grill is absolutely another chain place (and technically Ziggy's is too).
