Williamsport and Surrounding Area Restaurants Our Kids Love

Where in Williamsport and Surrounding Area our kids love to eat ... and we do too

By Nicole Hickoff January 22, 2021

Don't feel like cooking? Can't say we blame you!

Luckily the Williamsport Area has AMAZING restaurants, many of which have pivoted to offer great meals for families at-home during the pandemic. Whether you want to dine-in or eat out, here are where the Williamsport Area kids love to EAT:


Basil Wood Fired Kitchen and Lounge

213 North Main Street, Muncy, PA 17756

(570) 757-7216

This is one of our favorite "Fancy" places to go as a family.  The food is AMAZING here-try their truffle fries, you won't be disappointed!  Their woodfired pizzas are to die for!  Plus they have great cocktails and top-notch service, not to mention the atmosphere is FANTASTIC.  By far, one of the best restaurants around Williamsport.  


Pier 87 Bar & Grill

5647 PA-87, Williamsport, PA 17701

(570) 435-0290

One of our families favorite destinations for eating in, but great for take out as well.  This is a beauty along the Loyalsock Creek.  Great all times of the year, but a must go place in the warmer months.  They have a sandy area for kids to enjoy and an outside bar to enjoy some adult beverages as the kids play.  Our favorite items to order are the fried banana peppers and popcorn chicken!  Great service and food!

**Note: Pier 87 is currently closed and should reopen around February 3rd.  Check their Facebook page for updates.**


Leo's Pizzeria

458 William St, Williamsport, PA 17701

(272) 202-3803

A great pizza shop and they have a heart of gold!  Great people and amazing food.  Definitely a go to spot for our family.  The kids favorite pizza is their cheese pizza, but us adults like their buffalo pizza!   Wings and pizza combined, a win, win!  


Pudgie's of Williamsport/Montoursville

2028 Lycoming Creek Rd #1243, Williamsport, PA 17701; (570) 322-0300

920 Plaza Dr Suite 1, Montoursville, PA 17754; (570) 980-9875

This is my kids all time favorite place to get pizza and let's be honest, mine too!  Having worked at a Pudgie's in my younger years, this is great pizza and wings.  They offer other great food besides pizza.  Try their cheesesteaks!  Always great service.  


The South Side Restaurant, Pizzeria, and Tavern

324 W Southern Ave, South Williamsport, PA 17702

(570) 323-4045

A family favorite to get lunch with our Grammy.  The kids love any restaurant that serves pizza.  Their pizza is great and fresh.  They have a variety of items on their menu to choose from if you are not hungry for pizza.  Great place to eat in or call for take outs!
