Katie’s Pizza
(9568 Manchester Road, KatiesPizzaAndPasta.com)
Adults love Katie’s for their fantastic pizza. And with a special kids’ menu, your littles can get in on the action, too, with their own tiny version of Katie’s pie.
Rockwell Beer Company
(multiple locations including 1320 South Vandeventer Avenue, RockwellBeer.com)
Not only is the menu at each location kid-friendly (grab Brasswell burgers and more at the Vandeventer spot, pizza at Francis Park), but the two locations serve as the perfect spots to let kids run around outside and burn off some energy.
Sugarwitch
(7726 Virginia Avenue, SugarwitchIC.com)
Opening for regular hours at the end of the month, Sugarwitch sells wildly popular ice cream treats. So popular, in fact, that it’s gone from a pop-up located in an Airstream on the patio of Olio to a business that needed a brick-and-mortar to keep up with demand. These ice cream sandwiches are adult-approved and the kids love them, too.
Hi-Pointe Drive-In
(multiple locations including 1033 McCausland Avenue, HiPointeDriveIn.com)
Spectacular burgers, fries and shakes? They’re serving every kid’s dream meal each day.
5 Star Burgers
(8125 Maryland Avenue, 5StarBurgersSTL.com)
Sometimes only a big, juicy burger will do. If you’re in need of a gourmet burger but don’t want to take your kid to somewhere too fancy, drop into 5 Star Burgers for a casual atmosphere combined with stellar food.
Gooseberries
(2754 Chippewa Street, GooseberriesSTL.com)
Serving up endless food options including savory sandwiches, fried items, hand pies and more, Gooseberries is the perfect spot to take a kid for lunch. Not only will they love the food, they’ll also love the casual atmosphere that includes dinosaur toys on every table and sometimes movies or games, too.
Gather
(1954 Russell Boulevard, GatherCafeSTL.com)
This place was designed to be kid-friendly. If you want to grab a coffee and good food with a friend but you’re on kid duty, Gather is the perfect spot to reconnect and give the kids some fun. Your littles have their own personal play area here that’s separated from the cafe area by a soundproof wall and you get some quiet time and fantastic eats. Win-win.
Taco Buddha
(7405 Pershing Avenue, TacoBuddha.com)
If you need to give your kid a proper introduction to Mexican food, Taco Buddha is the place to start. They love it.

For food that is as fast as it is delicious, take the kiddos to Mai Lee and watch them discover the magic that is Mai Lee's spring rolls.
J. Devoti

Serving some of the best Italian food on the Hill, J. Devoti also has one of the best kids’ menus in town. They’ll go crazy over the fresh kid-sized pizzas and the simple (yet delicious) pasta options.
