Kid-friendly restaurants in Sunnyvale (8)

The Peninsula breakfast-and-lunch institution (since 1974) where the kids' menu doubles as a coloring sheet and the coffee cake is famous. Breakfast and lunch only - doors close mid-afternoon.

50s-themed diner with jukebox vibes, milkshakes, and burgers: the nostalgia place where kids get a kick out of the decor and everyone leaves full.

Old-school Sunnyvale pizza parlor: big-screen sports for parents, casual counter pizza for kids, and zero pretension - the post-soccer-game institution.

Family-owned since 1986: healthy-ish American food, counter order, table delivery, and a pace that doesn't rush families. Breakfast and lunch only, closed Mondays.

Fast-casual Middle Eastern that kids actually eat: chicken shawarma, falafel, and rice plates at counter speed - the healthy weeknight answer on Mathilda.

The Murphy Avenue Middle Eastern favorite - grills, mezze, fresh bread - that handles families and big groups well. It's busy and buzzy, which works in your favor with kids.

Bombay-street-food fun in a space with an actual bus and car built INSIDE the restaurant for kids to climb in - dinner plus built-in entertainment.

Premium Korean BBQ where kids are mesmerized by the tabletop grill and staff actively help families cook - the special-occasion K-BBQ that kidsbayarea recommends for families.
