Dining
Traveling with kids? Here are the best spots in Lawrence that offer great food and a welcoming atmosphere for all ages.
Big Mill
Detroit-style pizza and burgers in a cool, converted space. Loud enough that nobody will notice if your toddler drops a spoon.
Editor's Pick
"The perfect spot where parents can eat well and kids can be kids."
Biemer's BBQ
Fast, casual, and incredibly good BBQ. The kids will love the fries, you'll love the brisket.
Auntie Em's Deli
A Lawrence classic. Massive sandwiches, great soups, and an atmosphere that feels like a warm hug.
Aunt Netter's Cafe
A cozy, small-town diner vibe where the kids can be kids and the adults can eat incredible pie.
Big Biscuit
Massive portions of breakfast comfort food. If your family leaves here hungry, that's on you.
Biggs Barbecue
A West Lawrence BBQ staple. Great family packs and an easy-going vibe.
Burgers By Biggs
The burger-focused sibling of Biggs BBQ. Fantastic smash burgers and shakes that the whole family will fight over.
Cascada La Golondrina
Excellent Mexican food with a massive menu. Something for the picky eaters, and great margaritas for the parents.
Clinton Marina
Eat right on the water! A super fun, unique experience for the kids, especially during the summer months.
Cold Stone Creamery
Dinner is great, but ice cream is mandatory. The perfect bribe for good behavior during dinner.
Culver's
Butterburgers and fresh frozen custard. It's a chain, but it's a midwestern institution for a reason.
El Mezcal
Fast, friendly, and chips hit the table before you even sit down. A lifesaver when the kids are starving.
Space for the Whole Family
Our properties offer spacious living areas and full kitchens, perfect for family travel.
