Park City is a family-friendly town. Many of our restaurants have kids’ menus and welcome little ones. Having raised two kids in Park City, I am pleased that some of my kids’ favorites are still around. Here are 14 family-friendly restaurants, sorted by location. I’ve indicated those that have special kids’ menus.
Deer Valley
Glitretind at Stein Eriksen Lodge
One of my favorite places to dine outdoors in the summer and fall, the Glitretind consistently offers great food and service in a beautiful setting. Valet park your car and head down to this iconic restaurant where you will find a kids’ menu. The kids’ menu offers the usual kid meals in addition to a few with a Bavarian twist, like “Smoked Salmon and Lefse,” for those kiddos with a more sophisticated palate.
Deer Valley Café
There is no kids’ menu here, but plenty of options for breakfast and lunch, plus the infamous Deer Valley chocolate chip cookies. The Deer Valley Café is also a great grocery store, so grab some of Deer Valley’s finest frozen food for an additional low-prep option. In the summer, the kids can wander over to the Deer Valley ponds to wade and watch the stand up paddle boarders.
Old Town
Bridge Café
The Bridge Café, located at the Town Lift, serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the bottom of Main Street and includes a kids’ menu.
Eating Establishment
A Main Street staple for years, the Eating Establishment is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and has a kids’ menu. Kids will find typical kid-friendly items like burgers, chicken fingers, grilled cheese, and noodles, and can also order breakfast for dinner.
Java Cow
When my kids were little, we would park on Lower Main Street and take the free trolley up to Java Cow for their artisan ice cream. There is also a fabulous bakery, with breakfast and lunch options. Kids will enjoy watching the TVs, which play footage from the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, and shopping for knickknacks.
Park City Limits
Grub Steak
Open only for dinner, Grub Steak has an amazing kids’ menu that includes salmon, steak, and baby back ribs.
Park City Roadhouse Grill
This restaurant is a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Their kids’ menu even has photos, so your little ones can pick what they want to eat even if they are not yet able to read. Expect the usual kid favorites, like chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese, pizza, burgers, and pasta.
Silver Star Café
While Silver Star Café does not have a kids’ menu, the outdoor patio allows your little ones to wander around safely while waiting for food. The pizza is always a popular choice for kids.
Windy Ridge Café
Windy Ridge has a great outdoor patio in the summer and a great kid’ menu with options like macaroni and cheese, pizza, pasta and grilled cheese.
Versante Hearth + Bar
Located at the Park City Peaks Hotel, parking is free and easy. This restaurant doesn’t have a kids’ menu but features wood-fired pizza and pasta, two dishes sure to please most kids. Check Versante’s website for October specials!
Twisted Fern
This restaurant describes itself as providing “New American Cuisine,” but for the little ones, there is a kids’ menu featuring burgers, chicken fingers, pasta, and for the more adventurous kiddos, trout.
Kimball Junction
Café Zupas
Zupas is a “fast fresh” restaurant where you order at the counter and bring your food to a table. Their kids’ combo includes grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, or pasta, plus veggies.
Café Rio
Another fast fresh option, Café Rio’s kids’ menu consists of quesadillas – either in a “meal” or a la carte. There are two sizes so that even the tiniest eaters can order just the right amount. You can’t beat their homemade flour tortillas.
Billy Blanco’s
No kids’ menu here, but you can order appetizers like wings and ribs for kids. Any kid will enjoy the interior of this restaurant with its vintage automobiles hanging from the ceiling and the booths that resemble car seats. In the summer, there is an outdoor patio.
These are some of my favorite family-friendly restaurants in Park City. Did I miss one of your favorites? If so, please add to the comments.
