Whether you just want to take the kids out somewhere you’ll receive understanding smiles for their goofy behavior or you’re hungry after some vacation fun, Santa Cruz is a great place for family dining. With reasonable and friendly options ranging from Italian to seafood, burgers and even Hawaiian, don’t ever worry about glares from snooty waiters again. Plus, these spots offer dishes that adults will enjoy as well. Gone are the days of sacrificing your taste-buds to satisfy the picky palate of the little one. Just because your three-year old will only eat grilled cheese doesn’t mean you have to! By all means, order it if that’s what you want to eat – but you do have options here. All of these spots have a fun atmosphere and plenty of tasty treats for the whole family. So take a break after visiting the Boardwalk or refuel after hiking in the redwoods at one of our favorite family-friendly restaurants.
