Family/Kid-Friendly Restaurants

Here are my suggestions for places to eat with your kids in the Orland-area:

Buffalo Wild Wings
15888 S. LaGrange Rd., Orland Park; (708) 364-9464.
Order at the counter and dine-in or take-out. Carries wide variety of food, specializing in buffalo wings, spiciness to your liking. Large-screen TV's are all around showing mostly sporting events. Families can play along with video trivia game--ask your server for a keypad device.
Buca Di Beppo
15350 94th Ave., Orland Park, (708) 349-6262.
Order these great Italian dishes family-style. The portions are HUGE and one entree could easlity feed a family of four. Ask your server about the entree sizes so you don't order too much (unless you like alot of left-overs!). Great atmosphere--each room has smaller seperated areas and booths to give you a more "homey" atmosphere. You can sit at their "Kitchen Table" where you are seated in a booth in the kitchen area--each time someone's entree is prepared the server shows it to you. This booth is both fun and somewhat annoying because each diner is taken through the kitchen and right past you, where they are instructed to say "hi" to you!
Sam Maguire's Irish Pub & Restaurant
39 Orland Square Dr., Orland Park, (708) 460-1771.
Serving both traditional Irish fare (i.e. fish 'n chips & shepherd's pie) and American fare, this full-service restaurant has great food and atmosphere. Lots of Irish artifacts and memorabilia hung from the ceilings and walls--plenty to keep the kids occupied. Dine early here as this is also a very popular drinking hole
Fuji Japanese Steak House
15132 S. LaGrange Rd., Orland Park, (708) 403-1580.
Food is served and prepared on large hibachi stove/tables in front of you. This is usually a lot of fun for adults and kids alike as the chefs deliver a little showmanship as they slice and dice your meal in front of your eyes. Reservations are recommended here.
