One of the letters published in the November 11, 2005 Post-Gazette was a lament over the abundance of bars on the South Side. Specifically, the letter writer was disturbed that the owners of the old Mellon Bank building had applied for a liquor license.
To quote from her letter: “How odd that we have no King's or Bob Evans, or Denny's or Eat'n Park restaurants. Nothing for the family or senior citizens”.
The above four establishments have two things in common:
1.They don't sell alcohol.
2.They are chains (Although I'll cut Eat'n Park some slack because they are local).
I find it interesting that the letter writer could not come up with one family-friendly restaurant in the South Side. So for her sake, here is a list of establishments that I have frequented. All of them serve non-alcoholic beverages and many of the are actually family friendly. I will admit some of them are a little more expensive, but there are an ample number of inexpensive places to eat.
