Family-Friendly Eats
34 places updated April 19, 2012
Think outside of the chain restaurants when dining with kids! Most of these places have wider aisles, a kids menu, and most important: waitstaff that don't roll their eyes when they see your kids.

    "Nice little seating area in front for kids. Good coffee and excellent deserts. I love the red velvet cupcakes."

    "My favorite thing about this place is it's wide delivery area! The best Thai place on the North side. Lots of stuff I haven't had the nerve to try plus the standard pad thai and thai curry dishes."

    "This place is best for take-out, but they do have a small amount of seating. We like stopping here on our way to or from Foster beach. Great chicken shwarma and falafel. Cash only!"

    "A bit pricey but the good is local and organic. Kids meals are $5-6, which is pretty average. Plentiful seating that isn't too cramped. The interior is really pretty. Service is spotty."

    "This place gets super crowded. Be prepared to wait or come at off-times if you want a seat. Otherwise, take your ice cream cones to go."

    "Family factor: The only good place to sit is in the beer garden. They have a pint-sized picnic table. My kids like their grilled cheese and I highly recommend the cajun veggie burger!"
