The Best Kid-Friendly Family Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"The hopping restaurant in the Gaslamp Quarter oozes ’70s and ’80s vibes. The big draw here are the TVs showing sports games, a photo booth, ping pong, Skee-Ball lanes, and old-school arcade games, including a 4-person giant Pac-Man challenge in the back. Kids should stop back at the table for the barbecue chicken dinner, wings, chimichurri wagyu skewers, or brisket flautas, but they’ll definitely be back for the skillet-baked chocolate chip cookie. With the purchase of an entrée during Padres season, kids get a free meal (chicken nuggets, burgers, mac and cheese) until 10 p.m. on Wednesdays when the paying adults mention “Kids Night.”" - Helen I.
