Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
The planning question for a family meal is usually the same: what does it cost for the kids, and is there a deal that covers everyone? This page covers five places in Hoppers Crossing, four of them on Old Geelong Road and one on Pannam Drive, and it sticks to the kids’ prices, family packs and family tags that the venues and listings themselves print.
We did not record high-chair, pram-access or toilet details for any of these places, so ask the venue about those before you go. Where we have not recorded a deal’s conditions, the entry says so.

Okami Japanese Restaurant — 3/428 Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing VIC 3029
Okami’s own page prices its all-you-can-eat menu by age. It prints Adult all-you-can-eat at $42.80/person, Child (9-12 years) all-you-can-eat at $25.80/person and Child (4-8 years) all-you-can-eat at $20.80/person, and lists Child (0-3 years) as Free. The page describes “an extremely generous all-you-can-eat menu with lots of hot and cold Japanese dishes including seafood, tofu, noodles, sushi, salads and more”.
Drinks are not included in those prices. The page says it cannot accommodate completely coeliac, gluten-free or vegan dishes, and it prints a time limit for each sitting and a charge for uneaten food, so read those terms before you book.
Okami’s own page lists it as closed on Monday, open for dinner from 5:30 pm on Tuesday to Thursday and from 5:00 pm on Friday to Sunday, with Sunday lunch from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm.
On the menu (copied from okamirestaurant.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Adult all-you-can-eat: $42.80/person
- Child (9-12 years) all-you-can-eat: $25.80/person
- Child (4-8 years) all-you-can-eat: $20.80/person
- Child (0-3 years): Free
Pack: your child’s age, because the price bands run by age, and a read of the sitting-time and uneaten-food terms on the page.
Hoppers Club — 180-200 Pannam Drive, Hoppers Crossing VIC 3029
The club’s site describes its bistro as somewhere “where family-friendly dining meets warm hospitality and excellent value”. It carries the headline “KIDS EAT FREE | EVERY FRIDAY”. We have not recorded the conditions behind that headline, so read the offer’s terms on the club’s site before you plan a Friday around it.
The June 2026 winter menu prints All Kids Meals at $16.00 and says they include a free softdrink and icecream. The same menu prints a Margherita pizza at $15.00 with a Napoli base, fresh tomato, oregano and mozzarella. The site also lists a bar, sport and live music alongside the bistro, so it is more than a restaurant.
We have not recorded a source for the club’s opening hours, and the menu is the June 2026 winter menu, so check both before you go.
On the menu (copied from hoppersclub.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Chicken Schnitzel: $27.00
- Margherita pizza: $15.00
- Southern Style Chicken Burger: $26.00
- Soup of the day: $9.00
Pack: the terms of the Friday kids-eat-free offer, read on the club’s site first, because we have not recorded them.
Elio Italian Family Bistro — 39 Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing VIC 3029
AGFG tags Elio as “Child Friendly” and “Takeaway”. Its own ordering page lists a Fridays Lunch Combo of 1 Large Traditional Pizza + Garlic Bread + Can of Soft Drink at $24.00, and a Pizza Deal - Garlic Bread of 2x Large Traditional Pizza and 1x Garlic Bread at $49.50.
It also lists a Pizza + Pasta Deal of 1 Large Traditional Pizza and 1 Pasta at $45.00. The Tradie Deal - Pizza is Friday lunch pickup only, at $18.00.
AGFG and the ordering page list different opening hours, so confirm with the restaurant before you go. We read the ordering page on 2 October 2026.
On the menu (copied from eliobistro.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Fridays Lunch Combo: $24.00
- Pizza Deal - Garlic Bread: $49.50
- Pizza + Pasta Deal: $45.00
- Tradie Deal - Pizza: $18.00
Pack: the phone number, (03) 9748 3132, because the listings disagree on hours.
Hoppers Charcoal Chicken — 33 Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing VIC 3029
The venue’s site calls it “a family-friendly destination where we serve the best charcoal chicken in the west”, which is its own claim and not ours. Its menu page prints a Kids Pack at AU$14 (6 Chicken Nuggets, Chips & Can) and a Family Pack at AU$49 (Whole Chicken, Large Chips, Medium Gravy, 1.25 Litre Drink).
Single items include a 1/4 Charcoal Chicken at AU$8 and a Chicken Burger at AU$12. The site says “order online”. The venue’s own contact page lists Monday and Tuesday as closed, Wednesday to Friday as 11 am–8:30 pm, and Saturday and Sunday as 12–8:30 pm.
On the menu (copied from hopperscharcoalchicken.com on 3 October 2026):
- 1/4 Charcoal Chicken: AU$ 8
- Whole Charcoal Chicken: AU$ 25
- Chicken Burger: AU$ 12
- Hot Chips N Gravy Roll: AU$ 9.50
Pack: a look at the online menu first, since the site says “order online” and the Family Pack lists a 1.25 Litre Drink.
Jock & Mack — 31 Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing VIC 3029
Jock & Mack’s own site describes “a modern Australian cafe serving breakfast, brunch and lunch all day”, and says it offers Melbourne roaster Axil Coffee. Visit Werribee lists its facilities as “Alfresco/Outdoor Dining Carpark Family Friendly Delivery available Takeaway Available”.
We could not read a menu for this cafe, because the site holds it as an image or PDF, so there are no kids’ items or prices here. The cafe’s own site and Visit Werribee disagree about Sunday, so confirm opening days before you plan around it.
Pack: a read of the menu before you go, since the site mentions “all the cakes, slices, donuts, cinnamon scrolls, biscuits, brownies”.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026: the places’ own websites, the Australian Good Food Guide, sushi.hey-australia.com, OpenStreetMap and visitwerribee.com. Every price is copied exactly as printed on the page linked under Sources, between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, the date given beside each menu. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of food or place, not the places on this page.
