Ms Cheezious is a sandwich shop that is good for kids, and will make you feel like a kid yourself! The barbeque pulled pork is a popular go-to, served on crispy Texas toast with a really good sauce. It is simply perfect! The patty melt with bacon and croqueta monsieur with Swiss cheese is also delicious. You will drool just thinking about this place, so track down the food truck and you are sure to become a fan. This is definitely a great place for some great grilled cheese sandwiches and you could also try the delicious house turkey.

Who else is excited for brunch tomorrow?

Posted by 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant Miami on Saturday, 23 March 2019

This place has a patio so your kids will be able to play outside. A kid’s menu Jr Pilot is available, with complimentary Nestle Frozen Novelty from the management to all kids! You can come to this restaurant for events as the food here is amazing, or go during the week to have their buffet or Sunday brunch as well! You simply have to try the Argentinean Skirt steak with chimichurri sauce that is highly recommended. You will see your kids exclaiming with excitement every time a plane takes off or lands because you can sit by the window and put on headsets to listen to the air traffic control tower chatter and watch the planes. You don’t even have to be a kid to be excited about this restaurant.

This place serves kids burgers with fries. It is of a good size, and you can add toppings according to your child’s liking! It is a really nice and big place with plenty of seating and flat-screen TVs around. You and your kid will love the vibe here as it is extremely clean and has nice modern decorations. Just come in, get a number, and they will bring your order to the table once it is ready! It is slightly on the higher end but it is definitely worth the visit! Their blue cheese fries and brussels sprouts are simply amazing as well.

Miami Tour Guide

Alexander Gorn

Alexander Gorn

I was born in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, in the Soviet Union, and left for the USA when I was 23 years old, just out of college. Leningrad was and still is a city with great cultural traditions. I fell in love with its world-famous museums, art galleries, theaters, and other attractions. I have been guiding tours for most of my life and began while still in high school. During the summer, Leningrad was visited by numerous youth groups from the UK and USA and English-speaking students were recruited to show them around. That is how I got my first taste of being a tour guide. I continued guiding through college and often worked with young adults. After leaving the USSR, I settled in New York City, went to graduate school, and started my own travel company in 1985. We primarily worked with international visitors showing them famous places of interest all over the country, from coast to coast. Though I had other tour guides working at my company, I continued to guide because it was rewarding and enjoyable. I traveled extensively throughout the country and that's how I first became acquainted with South Florida. I instantly fell in love with this beautiful place and eventually moved to the Miami Beach area. I love South Florida and want my tourists to feel the same way. I am exhilarated by its nature and history and I promise to get you excited as well. See you in Miami!

Try the kid’s pizza for your entree, or check out other things on the kid’s menu like the cheeseburger! Do try to get a reservation here if you can. The food and service here is amazing, so bring your entire family and have a fabulous meal! You will be blown away by how delicious the food is, and do try the short rib radiatori. This is an amazing place to get pasta, so you will love this dish. The pasta is light and fluffy and balances the short rib, parmesan cream and arugula well.

Versailles Restaurant is also good for kids, and their imperial rice is incredible. Mostly families come here! Do note that there is walk-in only for bigger parties. This restaurant even serves breakfast, or you could visit the bakery if you’re looking for something faster. You have to try this icon of Cuban food, especially the Cuban pork chunks! It is incredibly tender and delicious. You can buy Cuban pastries, and the guava and cheese are recommended along with it. The cheese will mute the sweetness of the guava jam, making it taste heavenly.

8. The Sugar Factory

The burgers are fantastic, the wings are good, and for the price, the experience is totally worth it. So come with your kids to The Sugar Factory! Overall the service is really good, and for the appetisers, the macaroni and cheese pops have an amazing sauce, the rainbow sliders are delicious, and the watermelon goblet is great! The desserts like the red velvet cake, fried ice cream with fried Oreos and the signature chocolate fondue for two have massive portions and are definitely worth it. The buns for the sliders are soft and delicious as they are made fresh from Sugar Factory’s bakery that is right down the street.
