Geno's Steaks - 1219 South 9th St Philadelphia PA, 19147

Yum! Recently, my family and I were on the way to a Philadelphia 76ers game, when my parents wanted me to have a kid friendly, Authentic Philly Cheese Steak. So, we drove to Geno’s Steaks. I must mention that it took close to an hour to find a parking spot remotely close. That part was frustrating. When we finally got there, I decided on a cheese steak with cheese wiz (steak with wiz)Genos, and my Mom and I sat down at a table. My dad waited in line for a while, payed, and returned with our cheese steaks. Gino’s steaks are no ordinary cheese steaks, though. They are sliced thick, but they are still to die for! The cheese wiz is surprisingly delicious on a cheese steak! I had nothing to drink, (I was too busy eating my delicious cheese steak to drink, and I wasn’t thirsty). There is a small menu, but all of the choices are savory with great quality. There is no indoor seating at Geno’s, but there are many things to look at at their seating outside. There is a roof over the outdoor seating, so a great place to come if it rains.


Hey Kids! There is no kid’s menu, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy their messy, but delicious cheese steaks. Be patient, because it can take some time to get your food if the line is long.


Hey Parents! The line takes little time to wait in, if it’s not very crowded. But it is worth the wait!


I can’t say much for kid friendly service, because you HAVE to know what you want, or they get frustrated.


WARNING: DO NOT GO TO PAT’S ACROSS THE STREET AND ORDER SOMETHING THEN COME TO GENO’S. THEY WILL MAKE YOU THROW OUT ANYTHING FROM PAT’S THERE, BUT NOT IN THEIR GARBAGE CANS, OR THEY WILL KICK YOU OUT.


I give Geno’s 1 1/2 thumbs out of two because of the not- really kid friendly service, otherwise, everything else was splendid!

Happy Eating!

El Limon - 38 E Butler Ave, Ambler, PA 19002

If you’re looking for authentic kid friendly Mexican restaurant food, this is the place! I had enchiladas with mole (pronounced- moh-ley) and carnitas. el limonWow! That dish was so delectable, I wanted more! (If I wasn’t full by the end. :) ) Mole is sweet and takes a bout three days to make with about 20 ingredients, this sauce adds a little kid friendly pizzazz to any dish! The entree also came with re-fried beans and Spanish rice, which I LOVE! For a drink, I had thirst-quenching lemonade, (my usual). For a side, my parents and I had HOMEMADE salsa, chips, and guacamole! Yum! what a delicious side, I would definitely recommend this. This place had a small amount of decorations when I first arrived, but they started putting up a big colorful banner and giving the employees new, vibrant uniforms. The service was definitely kid friendly. They checked on us often, gave us extra napkins (much needed!), and refilled our drinks.


Hey Parents! This is a great place for a date night, or to bring your kids. Also, they have free margaritas available, minus the tequila. You have to bring your own : ). It is also BYOB. Hope you enjoy! The restaurant is located on the main road into Ambler, Pa.. It’s not too far from the Ambler Theater.


Hey Kids! There is no kids menu, but I’m sure you’ll find the dish I ate delicious and kid friendly. I hope you enjoy what you get!


I rate this place two thumbs up out of two. The service is wonderful, the food is delectable, and the atmosphere is kid friendly.


El Limon has no website, but you can view their menu at: http://philadelphia.menupages.com/restaurants/el-limon/menu . This is from their other location in Conshohocken, but it is the same. I’m looking forward to going back and trying their tacos!


Happy eating!


Thanks!

Pudge's Steaks & Hoagies - 1510 Dekalb Pike Blue Bell, PA 19422

Cheese steaks! Hoagies! Get them all here at kid friendly Pudges! Pudge’s has many divine choices on their menu-which is molded into the tables! I decided on one item-”Make your own grilled cheese”! pudges grilled cheeseMy concoction happened to be white bread with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, and bacon! It was savory, and the BEST GRILLED CHEESE  ever!!!! Yum! I definitely recommend getting this. For a side, I had cheese fries. pudges cheese friesThey were like normal hoagie restaurant cheese fries- nicely done french fries with LOADS of gooey cheese. For a drink, I had my usual-lemonade. It was sweet and a bit tart.  Pudge’s has many awards hanging in their restaurant-for cheese steaks, hoagies. and much more. They also have a big picture of Pudge’s mascot. Finally, the staff are very kid-friendly.


Hey kids! There is a kid’s menu, but I did not order off of it. I suggest that you get a kid friendly cheese steak or other menu item, though.


Hey parents! This place is a great kid friendly restaurant to take your kids to. Though, I must warn you, the cheese steaks/hoagies are HUGE! Anyways, it’s a great place to visit. :)


This place would get a two thumbs up out of two, but the service  was quite slow. Therefore, This awesome, kid friendly restaurant gets 1 1/2 thumbs up out of 2. visit the website at: http://www.pudgescheesesteaks.com


Try this place out, if you have a bit of patience. Although, it was quite crowded when we went there.


Happy eating!


Thanks!
