When you’re ready for a night out with the family, you want to visit a restaurant that is not only tasty, but also family-friendly. Restaurants with a loud atmosphere or fancy restaurants can be challenging for a family with kids of all ages to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Since there are several options in Jacksonville, FL, we’ve made a list of our favorite family restaurants, so you can have a great experience out with your kids.

Get the Kids in the VW and Check out These 5 Family Restaurants in Jacksonville, FL

1. The Bearded Pig BBQ

While the Bearded Pig can be a little loud, it is still a very family-friendly atmosphere. With outdoor seating for nice weather and plenty of indoor seating when it’s not, there is space for your kids to run and wiggle and be themselves. Another great thing about this restaurant is we all know that BBQ is super messy, so if your toddler accidentally drops some pork on the floor, no worries, it’s just part of the experience!

2. Metro Diner

When we think of a diner, we think of a greasy quick restaurant where the food is delicious but not prepared with a lot of care. Metro might surprise you because it is not what we described. This quaint diner has delicious food with a lot of healthy options. If you want to take your family out to this stylish joint, our 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0T SE FWD is the perfect option: your whole family can fit in its spacious interior!

3. Clark’s Fish Camp Seafood Restaurant

This is a truly unique find and your family will love it here. The restaurant is decorated with mounted animals. Lions leaping across the ceiling and fish mounted to the walls. Your kids won’t have any idea what they ate because they will be so busy staring at the animals. You might as well load their plates up with veggies, this restaurant is truly an experience to remember!

4. Carmines Pie House

This local pizza joint is just so good that you’ll want to come back before you even drive away. If your family is split on which type of pizza they like, this is the place to go. In the ever-running battle between New York-style thin crust and deep-dish Chicago pizza, this restaurant has both.

5. Jumpin’ Jax House of Food

Very family-friendly, this restaurant is the perfect spot to fill up a family. With delicious juicy burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches, and gourmet salads on the menu, there is something at this place for everyone.

After you and your family have filled up, come visit us at Tom Bush Volkswagen. We have some great new and used vehicles for you to look over. You can take your favorites on a test drive with your whole family. Then, have a family meeting, decide what the favorite is, and you can drive away today with a nicer vehicle for your next family outing!
