Heaven on earth !!!

This place is truly heaven on earth for me and my kids. Thank you ! Thank you !Thank You. If you have kids that are 6 or younger do not go anywhere ells but Giggles N Hugs. You will never feel out of place when you go out to eat with your kids.

I have two kids. A 3 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. We had heard about Giggles N Hugs from a friend who could not stop talking about this place who was insisting that we go and try it. so i called my best friend and her kids and we all went.

Let me start by saying that they have the best and most nutritious food for kids of any restaurant i have been to. You can even sneak veggies into your child's favorite food. They have daily entertainment for kids. Last Sunday they had a group called TWINKLE TIME who is very similar to Doodle bops that performed for an hour as all the kids sang and danced and were mesmerized by the show.

The play area is huge and extremely clean. They had everything a kid could imagine in the play area and more. The staff was genuinely nice and welcoming. I had gone on a play date with my best friend and her kids and i swear we did not speak to any of our kids for two hours as they played, sang, danced, got their faces painted while we enjoyed each others company and gossiped. It was like being out for a ladies night without the kids. To top it all off out of the blue, a beautiful Cinderella came out and took pictures with all the kids and played the parachute game as everyone went into a frenzy.

As i said before, eating out with my kids will never be the same. You must try this incredible Restaurant/play center and see for yourself what Giggles N Hugs is all about. You will thank me later.

• Pros: Clean , safe , beautiful decor , Great food , WIFI
• Cons: There is only one in town

The BEST Restaurant for parents with kids

by Mink1 at Citysearch

I am a mother 4 year old twins. I had been looking for a place like giggles N Hugs since my kids turned 1. This place is truly magical. There is no where in town where i can go with my kids and eat some of the best food i have ever tasted and have my kids play at the same time. I go and turn on my laptop as they have WIFI and get my work done while my kids have the time of there life. As i said the food is great and healthy as they sneak veggies into kids favorite foods. I had a Beet Salad that was as good as if not better than the one i got at Spagos. The staff is unbelievably friendly and the entire place is so beautiful with murals of Mermaids, Tigers and Dinosaurs all over the walls. The play area was filled with all kinds of toys , rides and video games for kids including a Nintendo WII. We got there around 2pm on Friday with only about 10 families there. The Beautiful girls in the play area did some face painting (for FREE i might add) and played games with my twins and the other kids. At about 3pm they asked all the kids to come out of the play area for 20 minutes while they sanitized and cleaned the entire play area. Once they allowed everyone back in we got a chance to meet and take pictures with A few characters in costume ( Mickey and Minnie surprised us). It was magical. We had so much fun that my twins decided that they wanted to stay for Disco night which is every Friday night at 6pm. I have never written a review before but we had so much fun and this place is so great that i had to take the time to let you all know on this and other sites. I also wrote the same review on Yelp to let all the parents know about this incredible oasis for parents with toddlers.

• Pros: Friendly staff, Clean , fun for all , eat while kids play
• Cons: There is only 1

My little girl LOVES this place!

My daughter first came here with her dad and his gf and it must have made a great impression because she was very clear she wanted to "go to Giggles 'N' Hugs" for her birthday. Our family went on a weeknight in rush hour traffic and made it there with a little under a hour to spare. The awesome staff took our order over the phone and had a table with balloons and a placecard with her name on it waiting for us. They didn't seem to mind that we came close to closing time and were very gracious. They also have a cool "free play" weeknight special. The food was good enough (I especially liked my daughter's mac 'n' cheese) and the whole place reminds you of what it was like to be a kid. Not a lot of bells and whistles (I wouldn't recommend for a child over 7) and I could see how it could get ridiculously crowded on a weekend, but overall I was pleased. Again, my daughter LOVES the place, so we'll be back!

• Pros: kid-friendly, happy-happy joy-joy environment
• Cons: none I could see (on a weeknight)
