Choosing a place to eat, especially when we have little ones, can prove quite challenging sometimes. We have to find just the right place, one that’s got a chill vibe, maybe has a reputation for its family-friendliness and, perhaps most importantly to the youngest diners, has a kid-approved menu. That’s just what you’ll find at Family Ties Restaurant, a family-friendly restaurant in Tiverton, Rhode Island, that will win the whole family over.
If you've never been to this family-friendly restaurant, keep an eye out for the large sign that alerts you that you've arrived. The restaurant's exterior is cute yet unassuming, making it easy to miss.
If you're Gen X like I am or even just a fan of the 80s, the restaurant's name probably brings up a few feelings of nostalgia like, say, Alex P. Keaton, Leland University, and sit Ubu, sit, good dog. Ruff.
Sat right off of Main Street, Family Ties Restaurant offers plenty of parking.
Guests tend to rave about the welcoming ambiance, the attentive service, and the food. (Family Ties serves breakfast and lunch.) If you're bringing the kids, they're in for a treat too.
Fuel up for a new day with a hearty breakfast. The kids will have a fun choice, if they choose the pancakes. Will they ask for the bunny, shark, or Mickey Mouse pancake?
If you prefer to start your day off on a sweeter note, you'll have to decide between Belgian waffles, pancakes, and French toast. Add whipped cream to your pancakes or French toast for an extra kick.
Lunchtime at Family Ties Restaurant is just as delicious. The kiddos have half a dozen lunch dishes - hot dogs, cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, and mac and cheese - on the kids' menu.
This adorable family-friendly restaurant is perhaps best known, alongside its breakfast menu, for its homemade mac and cheese, available in seven flavors. Will you have the plain, lobster, or buffalo chicken mac and cheese?
