Important Reminder:The Foursquare City Guide app officially sunset on December 15, 2024, with the web version following in early 2025. However, your check-in journey doesn’t end here! Join us on Swarm, where new adventures await.
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.
Burger Joint · North Center · 200 tips and reviews
venessa tarbell: Family factor: the room in the back has games for kids to play. Bring your quarters! My kids recommend the kids burger or grilled cheese. For parents, you can't go wrong with burgers and beer.
venessa tarbell: A friendly restaurant by the Rockwell brown line stop. I loooove the fish tacos. Good beer selection and they are friendly to kids. The patio is great and allows dogs.
Beer Garden · Roscoe Village · 48 tips and reviews
venessa tarbell: 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!
venessa tarbell: Family factor: entry to the play area is not cheap and is geared towards the new walkers or younger. The staff will supervise while you chat. Great coffee and ice cream selection.
Hot Dog Joint · Northwest Side · 236 tips and reviews
venessa tarbell: Family factor: Avoid the busy times, or you'll be waiting in line forever and you're kids will be very unhappy. Go at 10:30 or after 2. They close for almost every holiday so check hours.
venessa tarbell: 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.
New American Restaurant · Edgewater · 78 tips and reviews
venessa tarbell: 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.
Lebanese Restaurant · Andersonville · 62 tips and reviews
venessa tarbell: 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!
4018 N Western Ave (at W Irving Park Rd), Chicago, IL
Thai Restaurant · Horner Park · 52 tips and reviews
venessa tarbell: 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.
German Restaurant · Ravenswood · 53 tips and reviews
venessa tarbell: I don't care much for the food, but I haven't sampled much of it so take that with a grain of salt. I come for the beer, the music, and the atmosphere.
4647 N Lincoln Ave (btwn Eastwood & Leland), Chicago, IL
Sandwich Spot · Ravenswood · 21 tips and reviews
venessa tarbell: Delicious! My favorite is the Spicy Roscoe. This location has much more ample seating than the Roscoe Village spot. They often have live music.
