Wildflower Park West

9824 W Northern Ave., Peoria and 17530 N 75th Ave., Arrowhead | WildflowerBread.com

Wildflower is a local, Arizona-owned company founded 25 years ago. It loves being a neighborhood eatery serving up fast-casual, good food. Customers can enjoy free wi-fi while they eat. And don't forget the dessert! The kids' menu features pancakes for breakfast. Lunch and dinner options include sandwiches, salads and mac & cheese served with a drink, fresh fruit and a cookie. 

Portillo's Hot Dogs

Portillo's Hot Dogs serves up Chicago street food in a fun, diner atmosphere. The eatery offers flavorful Chicago-style hot dogs, Polish sausages, Italian beef sandwiches, chopped salad, cheese fries, pasta and more. Kids love the classic chicken tenders, burgers, fries and onion rings. The shakes are a big hit for kids of all ages, and be sure to save room for chocolate cake!

Jet's Pizza

20229 N. 67th Avenue, #C-10, Arrowhead | JetsPizza.com

Jet's Pizza brought its Detroit-style pizza to the West Valley in April 2022. The Michigan-based company has been serving up pizzas since 1978. The famous Detroit-style pizza blends two different types of dough, creating a light, airy center rather than the dense, deep-dish-style pizza. This is cooked in a square so that every piece has a crispy, golden outside crust. You can also get cauliflower and gluten-free crusts. 

Haymaker Restaurant Co.

24762 N. Lake Pleasant Pkwy., Peoria | HaymakerAZ.com

Haymaker serves a delicious breakfast, then tops off the rest of the day with burgers, BBQ and fries. The kids' menu features pancakes and French toast sticks for breakfast, with mini cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, grilled cheese and Kraft Mac n Cheese offered for lunch and dinner. The big kids might want to end the meal with Mama's Bread Pudding.
