The menu features quintessential American menu items such as the club sandwich (pictured), cheeseburgers, New York steaks, breakfast fare, and much more. Portions are large and service is terrific. Oh, and don't forget the donuts.

Down-home family fare is the order of the day, or every day, for that matter. And the kiddos love the desserts-with extra whipped cream, of course.

How can you hear the word "Pinocchio" and not think kid-friendly? Well, you can't. Pinocchio's is located at 4820 Vista Blvd. This local, family-owned restaurant has another location in Reno at 5995 S. Virginia Street.

Despite being a "bar and grill," Pinocchio's atmosphere is very family-friendly and kids enjoy playing "I Spy" with the thousands of wall and ceiling decorations.

Located in the Jailhouse Casino at 211 5th Street, the Cell Block Steakhouse lets guests dine in jail cells.

Each "booth" is set up like a jail cell with historical jail-themed items throughout.

Delicious steaks are the featured items; however, there are other entrees with chicken, seafood, and pork. While there is no kids' menu per se, the portions are large so sharing is definitely an option. And if the kids misbehave, you can always threaten to feed them bread and water (seriously, this is a menu item) or leave them locked up.

8. Rainforest Cafe, Las Vegas

Located inside the MGM Grand at 3717 Las Vegas Blvd. South, the Rainforest Cafe is a great kid-friendly place.

In addition to animatronic animals in a rainforest setting, other decor certainly captures the kids' attention.
