Family-Friendly Halloween Dining in Florida
Sparkman Wharf
- Location: 615 Channelside Drive, Tampa
Downtown Tampa’s riverside dining and entertainment complex transforms into Haunted Wharf — a haunted pirate shipwreck full of whimsical decorations, photo ops, roving entertainment and festive food offerings. Be on the lookout for special Halloween-themed events like movies on the lawn and even a Howl-O-Ween party for your four-legged friends.
The Sail Pavilion
- Location: 333 S. Franklin Street, Tampa
The Sail Pavilion gets a spooky makeover each Halloween with sculptures that come to life! It's a fun spot to dine al fresco with downtown Tampa and the Riverwalk as your view. We recommend this as an easy spot to grab a quick bite to eat before or after setting sail on The Lost Pearl's Pirate Halloween Cruise!
Jack’s London Grill

Grab your best mates and get into the spirit with an autumnal menu, plus the opportunity for discounts and prizes when you show up in a costume.
Nueva Cantina
- Locations: St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Palm Harbor
Taco-bout a good time. Costumed servers dish up authentic Mexican food with a spooky twist, like haunted birria. Wash it down with cocktails and mocktails like the Witch Pitcher, Dracula’s Sangria, Vampire’s Blood and more.
Sugar Factory
- Locations: 8371 International Drive at ICON Park, Orlando, and inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, 5223 Orient Road, Tampa
Have a fa-boo-lous time digging into the Halloween-themed menu, which includes savory dishes like Swamp Monster Loaded Fries, Bat Wings and the Frankenstein Burger. And of course you’ll want to save room for dessert. In addition to Sugar Factory’s usual sweet treats, you’ll find wickedly good seasonal options like the Skull Island Sundae.

Leave it to Disney Springs to offer themed foods around every corner, from Halloween pastries at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew to the All Hallow’s Eve Sushi Roll at Splitsville. Special shout-out to Jock Lindsey’s, Disney’s aviation-themed restaurant that goes all out with exterior and interior decorations and fun menu items like Candelabra Eggs, Skull of the Dead Dip, the Temple of Doom Margarita, and much more.
Colorado Fondue Company
- Location: 1016 Semoran Blvd., Casselberry
You’ll melt for this restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling decorations, spook-tacular lighting and even Halloween music wafting through the speakers. The fall theme carries over to the menu, with seasonal offerings like butternut squash soup and ghost pepper fondue. Parents can enjoy an adult beverage from the extensive Halloween cocktail menu. How about a Black Magic Mule or Caramel Appletini?
