With three active kids, I've scouted spots in Port St. Lucie where meals don't turn into battles. This list covers five favorites that have something unique to offer for kids.

Why These Spots Work for Families

Port St. Lucie is not exactly booming with kid-friendly places to eat, but we make the most of it! We're exciting for more businesses to cater to kids, but here are our recommendations are based on tried and true, personal experiences. Each of these places either has a play area, kid eat free night, or some way that caters to kids.
