Local favorite Nick & Jake's has a kid's menu made with picky eaters in mind, along with options for the more adventurous. If your crew likes burgers, Sickies Garage has 50 burger options on the menu and a relaxed, roadhouse atmosphere.
For fast, casual and delicious go to SPIN! Pizza where the kid’s meal includes an entrée, a drink, plus their favorite mini gelato.
Sweets & Treats
No foodie itinerary is complete without dessert. Visit I Am Frozen Dessert Cafe, named one of People Magazine's "Top 10 Ice-Cream shops in the U.S.," and try Thai inspired sweet treats.

To add some friendly competition to your itinerary, have dinner and drinks while you play a few rounds of your favorite games.
Craft Putt pairs local craft beer and classic bar food with indoor mini golf, or you can really practice your swing at Topgolf.
To get in on the pickleball action, Chicken N Pickle has pickleball courts and yard games, plus ice skating in the winter.
If board games are more your style, Cardboard Corner Cafe has hundreds of board games to choose from, and their waffle selection is almost as expansive.
