Where is the Best Independent Family-Friendly Restaurant in Massachusetts?

You might guess that this family-friendly spot would be over on the east coast and you would be exactly right. While this franchise has seven different location in the Bay State, there was one that was singled out as the best family-friendly restaurant in the state. In Boston's Back Bay, you will find a great eatery known as The Friendly Toast.

The food looks pretty amazing no matter what you're craving (especially if you like breakfast food). Here's why 'Love Food' said this is the best independent family-friendly restaurant in Massachusetts:

People rave about The Friendly Toast’s excellent brunch dishes, like pancakes and Benedicts, which make both kids and adults very happy. There’s sometimes a wait to be seated, though there’s no need to stand in line, and there’s a playground outside to keep children occupied if you do hang around. The kitschy décor and soda fountain drinks bring a fun, retro feel, too.

 

Massachusetts has other locations for The Friendly Toast are in Burlington Mall, Cambridge, Chestnut Hill, Danvers, Dedham, and North Andover, but the Boston spot in Back Bay is known as the most family-friendly spot in the Bay State. Perhaps that's one more must-try stop for your next road trip this year.
