If you have special seniors in your life, you’ve likely asked yourself the sometimes challenging question, “Where should I take them out to eat?”

Luckily, Soda City has plenty of older adult-friendly restaurants to choose from. Here are some of our favorites, all of which have dedicated parking and are single-story:

  • Basil | Ideal for the travel bugs, this Thai restaurant will appeal to anyone’s adventurous side in an approachable (and tasty) way.
  • California Dreaming | Located in the historic Union Station, this eatery serves classic American fare in an inviting atmosphere, perfect for stories that start with “back in my day...”
  • Lizard’s Thicket | This local staple boasts a classic Southern vibe with its nostalgic cooking.

Sometimes, it’s nice to dine at home. If your loved one lives in a community like Still Hopes, why not let them take you to dinner at one of their five dining venues?
