Al's Diner -- This may be the perfect antidote for restless teenagers who are threatening mutiny if they don't see any "real food" soon. It's located in Central's nightlife district (which might perk your teenager's interest) and offers burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, sundaes, ice-cream floats, and banana splits. The tableside jukeboxes are a good diversion, too, but make sure you come during the day or early evening, since the house specialty, vodka jelly shots, attracts a wild crowd at night that may provide a bit more excitement than you want for your teenager.
Dan Ryan's Chicago Grill -- These two restaurant/bars serve the best burgers in town, as well as huge deli sandwiches. There are plenty of other American dishes as well, and the setting looks just like home.
Spaghetti House -- Locations all over town and low prices make this family chain a winner. There are more than a half-dozen different kinds of spaghetti, as well as a wide range of pizza. Just like pizza parlors back home.
Top Deck, at the Jumbo -- A short shuttle by boat through Aberdeen harbor should catch any child's attention, but this alfresco seafood restaurant on top of a huge floating restaurant follows through with a children's menu and a play corner, allowing parents to relax as they soak in the views and feast on everything from salmon and sushi to steaks and curries.
