Kid-Friendly Restaurants in Phoenix

Parents of restless children and picky eaters, rejoice! We've rounded up the top spots in Phoenix to grab a bite with the whole family. Say goodbye to your typical chicken fingers and coloring pages—These six restaurants are reinventing the way kids (and their families) dine.

Rustler's Rooste

With a live longhorn at the entrance, cotton candy in a bucket and an indoor slide, kids may find it hard to believe Rustler's Rooste is a restaurant and not a Western playground. Don’t forget to register for the Slide Riders club: For just $6, kids eat free for a year with the purchase of an entree.

Chelsea's Kitchen

Chelsea’s Kitchen takes kids meals to a new level with six rotating options served as a gourmet TV dinners. Trade in your typical coloring pages for Wikki Sticks to play with at the table, and hit the road with a complimentary salted chocolate chip cookie.

The Duce

While The Duce attracts a nighttime crowd of playful grownups, by day it's a great spot for kids of all ages. Hang out on the indoor bleachers while waiting for your chance to play ping pong, corn hole, shuffleboard, or foosball. Don’t miss the milkshake parlor with sweet treats like a homemade vanilla soda, orange creamsicle float or a butterscotch shake.

Luci's at the Orchard

No pool? No problem. Head to the outdoor splash pad at Luci’s at the Orchard for a chance to keep kids cool before or after a meal. Grab a fresh pressed juice or treat the family to all natural ice cream, with flavors like Bohemian Raspberry and Chocolate Brownie, at nearby Splurge.

The Parlor

Order a ball of dough to the table to keep kids entertained at The Parlor, a popular spot often praised as one of the state's best pizzerias. Parents can try their award winning Fungi pizza while kids are served up saucer-sized pepperoni pies.
