family restaurant

When you take the family out to eat, you want a fun, family-friendly atmosphere, and food that’ll appeal to everyone. Family dining is very popular here in Howell, MI, and we have a great selection of restaurants to serve your needs. These are our top picks for the best family restaurants close to us.

Tomato Brothers

Tomato Brothers have been part of the local community for over 60 years. They’re family-owned and managed, and they focus on good food, generous portions, and great customer service. As soon as you sit down, you’re presented with a huge basket of hand-rolled breadsticks and dips before you order. Service is fast, and it seems like mere moments between when you order and your entrée arrives.

Their menu includes family favorites like pizza, salads, and lasagna, together with chicken piccata, fish and chips, and chick kabob. All their food is made from the freshest ingredients, and you can taste the difference in every bite. Tomato Brothers can be found at 3030 W Grand River Avenue, Howell, and they’re open from 11 am Monday to Saturday and from noon on Sunday.

Aubree’s Pizzeria and Grill

The first Aubree’s opened its doors in 1972 and has grown to seven restaurants across Michigan. This husband and wife-owned and operated chain believes in providing good food in a family-friendly atmosphere. Their rapid expansion and legions of happy customers have proved that their concept is a winner.

The menu isn’t extensive, but it’s full of choices that appeal to young and old alike. Their ever-popular pizzas are prominently on the menu, but they also offer burgers, handhelds, mac & cheese, and fish tacos. We like their sliders, available as pulled pork or beef and cheese, and served on brioche buns. Aubree’s is located at 4433 E Grand River Avenue, Howell.

Allen K Ryan’s

Chicken and ribs are always firm family favorites, and they’re Allen’s specialties. Their menu also includes salads, dinners, sandwiches, and seafood, but their chicken and ribs are certainly where it’s at. If you like ribs, you’ll love their succulent, meaty, pull-apart ribs marinated in their homemade barbecue sauce. The signature roasted chicken is so popular that they offer it in 30 and 50-piece buckets.

If you’re visiting for lunch, they offer daily specials between 11 am and 4 pm, Monday to Friday. Allen’s can be found at 2584 E Grand River, Howell.

Your 2023 Ford Explorer XLT is the perfect family-friendly vehicle for driving to these or any other restaurant.
