Family-Friendly Chicago Spots for Fall
via Yolk
In a city full of tequila bars, wine rooms, clubs and endless spots for a boozy brunch, it can sometimes be hard to find spots that are catered to a younger crowd while still serving up amazing cuisine. If you’re in town visiting, have family coming in from out of town, or just want a spot you can bring your kiddos, we have you covered! There are plenty of Chicago spots that are both foodie and family-friendly! Check out our favorite family-friendly spots right now…
Yolk {Multiple Locations}
In 2019, Yolk was voted “The Best Chicago Family Friendly Restaurant” by Chicago Reader, and it’s for good reason! Since they opened, and from 2019 on, they’ve always been a spot for the whole family, with a full menu of tasty items like French Toast Sticks, S’mores pPancakes and more for your mini me’s! The best part? You can get BOGO dishes when you use your Dine-It-4ward Culinary Guide!
Stax Cafe {Multiple Locations}
Stax Cafe is a fan favorite for breakfast lovers of ALL ages. Not only do they have menu items like Mini Egg Tacos, Green Chili Chilaquiles and the Braised Beef Brisket Benedict for the grown ups but they also have a kids menu too! Cheesy Eggs with house potatoes and Pancakes in fun shapes are just a few of the items on the menu for your kiddos. Use your Dine-It-4ward Culinary Guide to get BOGO on dishes and spend your Sunday Funday with breakfast for the whole family 🥞
via Roots Pizza
Roots Pizza {Multiple Locations}
We love Roots Pizza for several reasons. Number one, they have homemade Mozzarella Sticks, made completely from scratch with housemade and hand-stretched mozzarella, as well as a ton of other delicious menu items. Two, they have pizza kits you can make at home when you want something fun to do with the whole family right in your own kitchen. And three, when you dine-in, you can use the Culinary Guide to get $12 off when you spend $30 or more. At home or in one of their locations, you’ll find fun for everyone :)
