Traveling with children takes a bit of extra planning. Going out for dinner can be a chore, or it can be enjoyable. A well planned outing can even be an adventure. Fortunately, family-friendly restaurants are plentiful in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

At the beginning of your visit, you might want to play it safe and take your family to one of the chain restaurants that you visit at home. There are a number of national chain kid friendly restaurants located in Gulf Shores.

After you've been in town a day or two, it's time to get to know the local family friendly restaurants. While there are dozens of local restaurants within a 15-30 minute drive, the true flavor of the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area can best be summed up by these family favorite restaurants near our Gulf Shores condos and Orange Beach rentals.

Located on the Beach, Papa Rocco's is the definition of a local pizza place. It's a fun place. How could it not be? The restaurant's motto is "the home of warm beer and lousy pizza." Attitude aside, the pizza is fantastic. Papa Rocco's is a winner of numerous "People's Choice Awards" for Best Pizza and Best Raw Oysters.

Some family friendly restaurants go out of their way to promote themselves as such. Papa Rocco's just is family friendly, no promotion needed. The food is genuine. The people are authentic. It's the "best pizza on the beach." Papa's has live music every night without a cover charge.

If you are staying at one of our Gulf Shores condos or Orange Beach rentals, a trip to Lulu's is practicaly mandatory. It's not just a place to stop and have a bite to eat after a day of adventures. A trip to Lulu's can be a day of adventure.

The LuLu's experience includes the "Fountain for Youth" to cool off kids in the summer, the Mountain of Youth, a three story rope climbing apparatus for the adventurous, a bar called the "Bama Breeze" and for quicker eats, the Sunset Grille which overlooks the Homeport Marina.

If that's not enough to convince you to include LuLu's on your Gulf Shores vacation, consider the food. In fact, some consider it reason enough to make the stop. From the Krispy Kreme bread pudding and the grass-fed Cheeseburger in Paradise to the Seafood Gumbo, or Gulf Wild Fresh Snapper, the menu pops with a Caribbean attitude. Generous portions, everything served fresh, hot and delicious.

Lulu's also takes special care of those with allergies. They have Gluten free menus and special menus for those with shellfish, seafood, soy and dairy allergies.
