Where To Eat With Kids in El Cajon?
The good news is: you can find almost anything you’d like in El Cajon. If your kid has a craving, odds are there will be a place where they serve it. Check out these recommendations and give them a try. They’re in no particular order, so read the list carefully until you find a place you want to visit.
Buckboard’s Barbecue & Brew
If you also had the option to start this list off with a place where you can get an amazing barbecue, why wouldn’t you take it? Presenting Buckboard’s Barbecue & Brew. You can’t tell us your kid won’t like this menu.
Does your kid love burgers? Chances are they do. Why not treat them to a collection of burgers and sandwiches. There are even some vegan options for those who prefer them. Still, do yourself a favor and treat your family to one of their signature platters. Beef, chicken, and lots of ribs.
We should also talk about the sides you can get. Please try the BBQ Baked Beans or the Mac & Cheese. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the options, but you should definitely try those.
Find them at 975 Greenfield, Suite A, El Cajon, CA 92021, and give them a call (619) 334-4400. You can also order food online, but there’s nothing like eating there. Keep in mind they only open during the weekends, so make arrangements to go with your family on a weekend trip.
Funky Fries and Burgers
A true El Cajon staple. The best part is they’re open every day from 10am to 10pm. If your kid has a late-night craving, you might get away with getting them some fries from this place. And that’s what’s so great about this place. 12 different options for burgers plus some chicken sandwich alternatives. What’s even better; they carry the Impossible Burger. So any vegan kids out there hoping to get a burger this weekend won’t be disappointed.
Let’s talk about the other start of their menu: fries. There are 15 options to choose from, and you should try them all. Breakfast fries, pizza fries, BBQ bacon chicken fries, Philly cheesesteak fries, and so much more. If you want it, they’ll probably have it for you. Technically, these are all kid options, but if you want to get the kids’ menu options, they have you covered with cheeseburgers, chicken strips, and Mac & Cheese.
Drive to 101 W Washington Ave. El Cajon, CA 92020 for an awesome afternoon of burgers and fries. You can also call them at (619) 328-2929 for more information.
Black Bear Diner
This is another great place to think of when wondering where to eat with kids in El Cajon. Let’s talk about hearty meals.

If you want to treat your kid to a hearty meal on a weekend out with the whole family, you’ll want to go to Black Bear Diner.

Are they coming from a big game Saturday morning? Were you all out hiking? Are you all just craving a big meal? Try out Black Bear Diner’s signature “BIGFOOT Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs.”
How about a sweeter option? You might want to check this one out: Cinnamon Roll French Toast. You’re more of a sweet and savory person? Try “The Volcano,” a mix of decadent pancakes, bacon, and eggs. A truly American icon. This is just scratching the surface.
