Kids Eat For Free

FacebookXPinterestEmailEmailEmailShare

When my girls were younger, tracking down restaurants who offered kids eat free (or almost free) promotions was an important part of my restaurant food strategy.  Unfortunately, we've outgrown that phase of our lives, but many of you can still benefit from these promotions.

While many chains offer days or evenings where kids eat free, this can be very local or regional.  I recommend you make a quick cheat sheet and spend 15 or 20 minutes verifying what is available in your area.  I used to do this when we'd travel, since that was when we did the majority of our restaurant eating. You can do an interest search on "name of restaurant location and kids eat free," check their Facebook page, or give them a call. Also, include local restaurants that you enjoy!

Don't forget that there ALWAYS exceptions to these deals, so check ahead if your budget truly depends on the child(ren) eating free.
