Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Downtown / North Loop

Absolutely love that they welcome fur babies on the heater and covered patio all year long! I travel with my dog anytime I can and like to include her as much as possible.

Lola is the best pizza anywhere, my husband and I eat there on average twice a month.

Loved everything about Cadillac Ranch! Our waitress Dev was amazing!

Amazing meal - we make it a point to come to Patrick’s every time we come to Minneapolis. We didn’t want to miss out on the delicious desserts - so each of us selected one to go to enjoy later at home.

If you're going to Punchbowl for the food, expect to be disappointed. If you're going because there's an arcade and activities and they just happen to have food too, then it's not too bad. The staff were amazing at being responsive and helpful. 10/10 staff! Chicken & Waffle was pretty unappetizing. Large slab of chicken that was tough and chewy, difficult to cut even with the provided steak knife, waffle was as bland as a two star hotel waffle, and the "hot honey" drizzle was meh. Strawberries weren't too bad but being out of season there were plenty of tough bitter ones. The Hot honey & syrup helped. Burgers were OK. Nothing to write home about, but inoffensive. It's pretty hard to screw up a burger but I've absolutely found places that can do it. Thankfully not here. Fries were thin, crispy but not in the good way, but plenty of them. Think McDonalds fries if they somehow overcooked them significantly. The Pork Belly BLT sandwich was difficult to eat as a sandwich, as the number of toppings inside the sandwich caused all the fillings to just spill out of the somewhat soggy bun. Eating with a fork and knife was the only way to make it through. Decent combo of flavors though. The appetizers were good though. Pretzel bites were very enjoyable. Go for the games, get some appetizers to snack on while playing the arcade cabinets, claw machines, and bowling, and find a better meal elsewhere.
