If you have kids you know how important it is to pick a restaurant where they can have fun while stuffing your face! If you don’t know, I’m a big foodie! If the food isn’t good I don’t want to go.

That being said, I wanted to make a quick list for parents explaining where they can grab some yummy food while the kids can run around while not spending too much.

Here’s a list of my favorite kid-friendly restaurants in Tampa Bay that has a kids menu under $10.

• Sparkman Wharf in Tampa

  Parents! If you haven’t been to Sparkman’s Warf you’re definitely missing out. You can easily grab an adult beverage from the beer garden as the kids burn off some energy running on AstroTurf and playing cornhole. There’s a lot of different restaurants you can chose from whether you want a popsicle at Whatever Pops or other yummy places located in one spot.

• St. Pete Pier in St. Pete

  Driftwood Cafe at the Pier is delicious and a fabulous place for a quick bite where you can find plenty of food like pizza and salads for only $10! You can eat as the kids run around on the new playground or splash pad.

• Big Ray's Fish Camp In South Tampa

  This is a hidden gem located in South Tampa on Interbay Blvd. by MacDill AFB and they truly have the most delicious grouper sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life! Although, there’s no water view there’s plenty of room for the kids to run around while you enjoy a delicious drink and some yummy food.

• Salt Shack On The Bay In South Tampa

  This is definitely one of my favorite places to go to with friends or even business meetings. It’s right on the water, spread out so the kids can run around and the food is truly delicious! My favorite thing to order is the grouper or crab cake sandwich but if you’re looking for an affordable meal with the kids all their dishes are $7.95.

• Armature Works In Tampa Heights

  What isn’t to love about Armature Works? There’s tons of room for the kids to run around while you can go around and taste test all the different restaurants inside. You can play with the gigantic chess game, checkers and a million other fun things. It’s right on the water so perfect for photos and extremely kid friendly with plenty of space. Plus there’s two restaurants inside, a rooftop bar or little spots to grab a quick bite.
