If you’re wondering which places around Buffalo are safe to take your kids, you’ll appreciate this list of nine kid-friendly restaurants in Buffalo that the whole family will love.
- Pizza Plant: 125 Main Street, Buffalo
business owner - Yelp
Pizza Plant Italian Pub - Canalside - Facebook Pizza Plant has two locations, but our favorite is at Canalside.

- The Place: 229 Lexington Avenue
The Place - Facebook
The Place - Facebook The Place is a great place to take your kids, as they have a kids’ menu, great menu for the grown-ups, and very kid-friendly large booths so you can sit as close (or far away) from your kiddos as necessary.
- 716 Food and Sport: 716 Scott Street
Jane B. - Yelp
Pablo P. - Yelp You might not consider a sports bar kid-friendly at first glance, but 716 is definitely exciting for the younger fans with a great kids’ menu and TONS OF TV SCREENS! Because we all known that distraction saves the day when you’re waiting for your food to arrive.
- Ru’s Pierogi: 295 Niagara Street
John K. - Yelp
Alex L. - Yelp If your kiddo is a more adventurous eater, Ru’s Pierogi is a great place to switch up the usual dining routine. The whole atmosphere at Ru’s is totally casual, so you won’t feel judged by other patrons, and they even offer a “RUnts Menu” with kid-friendly, smaller portions. Use their dessert pierogis as the ultimate in bribery!
- Juicy Burger Bar: 1 Buffalo Street, Hamburg
Juicy Burger Bar - Facebook
Chris S. - Yelp Southtowns readers rejoice! Juicy Burger Bar is a Hamburg favorite, and they just opened up a new, bigger location next door to their original stomping grounds.
