Everyone knows Santa Clara, CA is a bustling town with a thriving food scene. Food from all over the world can be found at the many restaurants around town, however, it can sometimes be difficult to find a spot that is great for the whole family, especially if you have young children with you. Don’t worry though, as we’ve compiled this list of some of the best family restaurants in the area that accommodate even young kids.

Pier 76 Cafe

Situated at 4701 Great America Parkway, Pier 76 Cafe is a testament to classic American grub. The joint is fairly new, having only opened its doors back in 2021, however, that hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of the most popular places on South Bay Shores. Delicious meals include crispy beer-battered fish, fried shrimp, and juicy chicken tenders, so everyone in the family will find something they’ll love.

Mendocino Farms

For fresh, flavorsome food that uses only locally sourced, seasonal produce, Mendocino Farms is the place to go. Located at 2040 Wyatt Drive, Suite 110, this creative spot has made a name for itself with its delicious gourmet sandwiches, which include a Vietnamese-style vegan banh mi and a Peruvian steak sandwich. Kids also have a great choice of sandwiches, all of which are served with apple slices and a kid’s beverage.

Holder’s Mission City Grill

Whether you’re looking for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Holder’s Mission City Grill is a great choice. Located at 2000 El Camino Real, this diverse spot is famous for its diverse menu, which covers everything from Mexican-style breakfast burritos and Thai lettuce wraps to classic all-American grub such as burgers and jambalaya. For the young ones, there are some excellent kid’s meals too, including mac & cheese and corn dogs.

With its easygoing, family-friendly atmosphere, Mission City Grill is a great spot to hang out at for a few hours, however, all of its food is also available for take-out, should you need to get the kids home quickly. Thankfully, with the stain-resistant StarTex seats on the new Subaru Outback Onyx Edition XT, your kids can enjoy their food in the car on the way home without doing any serious damage to your upholstery.
