Kids Eat Free
Below you will find a list of over 50 places where kids eat free or for very cheap!
While the majority of the listings are places where kids eat free some of the restaurants charge a small amount – in most occasions $.99 so they are not actually “free” but a very good deal nonetheless. You will also find that some of the restaurants where kids eat free have certain restrictions whether it be limited hours on a certain day, the number of kids eating free per purchasing adult or age restrictions.
I can’t stress enough to please call the restaurant location you plan on attending to get your free kids meal before you pack the kids in the car to go. Some of the individual restaurants may choose to opt out of the promotion or have slight differences. Some of these are also user submitted and have not been verified.
Please leave a comment below if you know a restaurant where kids eat free that I don’t have listed. Please comment on your kids eat free experiences you get from the list as well!

oh wow. awesome collection. thanks.
WOW – Thanks for the information! Another great resource for kids eat free locations is http://www.KidsMealDeals.com as it allows you to search by zip code. Really pretty neat! [edited by admin to fix link]
great list!
kids don’t eat free at any of the IHOP’s that I go to in California. And believe me, their meals aren’t cheap either. The “funny face” pancake will set you back a cool $4.99. (We live in San Diego County).
Tumbleweed Southwest Grill (KY area) Sundays – One free kids meal (regularly $3.99) per every adult entree purchased. Kids 12 and under only. Not valid with any other offer, promo or discount.
@Crystal
Check the hours (4pm to 8pm).I have never been at IHOP at that time to find this deal
IHOPs in Northern Virginia don’t have kids eat free any day. I can’t imagine how much money I would have saved it that were true.
Qdoba Mexican Grill near us (Fredericksburg, VA) has kids eat free on Sundays.
As this is a national list, I’d recommend calling the restaurant before going. You never know if your local place is going to support national promotions.
I’ve made a note on the IHOP listing to call before you go – my local IHOP does follow this listing. Thanks for the info that this one really varies!
Eris – I’ve added Tumbleweed. Nathan – I’ve added Qdoba – my Qdoba does it on Wednesday so they may not have a standard day. Thanks for the additions – keep ‘em coming!
TC Hooligan’s has kids eat free Mondays…
The Texas Roadhouse near me does free kids meals on Mondays (not Tuesdays as listed).
My sister’s family will be driving across the country this summer. What a great resource for her. I’m sending it now!!
Piccadilly – Also, kids 6 and under eat for free Monday – Saturday. Great deal for a delicious and well-balaced meal!
Applebee’s in Rocky River, OH does not have a free kids meals at all.
Not all Golden Corrals have KIDS EAT FREE on Mondays… found out after going there that it was only corporate offices… or so they said… but they did give us the free meal for our child since this website told us that kids ate free on Mondays.
Not all Fudruckers offer the free meal. I have a corporate location near me that doesn’t offer it.
Friendly’s restaurant feeds kids free on tuesdays. Big kid meals are discounted alot as well
I’ve added and/or made notes about TC Hooligan’s, Texas Roadhouse, Piccadilly, Applebee’s, Golden Corral, Fudruckers and Friendly’s.
Thanks for keeping me updated with your additions and experiences!
At O’Charley’s kids also eat free everyday. I am not sure about weekends though. I tried looking online but didn’t see anything about it. I am in St. Louis.
Not all Friendly’s have free meals on Tuesdays. Buyer beware on the list… A lot of these deals are only certain locations.
In Highland Village…Add Capt. D’s with Kids eat Free with purchase of adult meal on Tuesdays. Great food and tons of side items (not just fies for the parents who want kids to get something other than fried food). Best Chicken and Fish I have ever had and the bread is addictive. Love it for a HEALTHY MEAL for the family!
I found a new place for the kids that’s really great! Adam’s Rib BBQ in Overland Park, KS has some outstanding barbeque and the kids can eat free on Monday nights. The kids meals also come with a toy to keep them occupied.
You for got to add WADE’S. The best deal in Spartanburg!!
Red Robin (not sure if company-wide or only the Amarillo, Texas location) currently let’s kids under 12 eat free with any adult purchase.
They say the promotion is indefinite but may be stopped at any time.
JB Dawson’s on Highway 1 in Drexel Hill (?) has kids eat free on Sundays.
Garfields: on Sundays kids eat for .99 or free not sure which. South Carolina for sure! No free kids meals at O’Charley’s in SC.
We are sitting in Red Robin right now and found out after we ordered no free meals for kids. Should have probably called.
We went to Red Robin and they do not offer free kids meals. Ever!
I went to their website and they say they never offer this at any of their restaurants. Take them off the list.
I know I should have called first. I still love their food and they offer free refills on some of the food items.
Thanks so much for the updates everybody! I’ve added O’Charley’s, Adam’s Rib and JB Dawson’s. Kelli, if you let me know which day kids eat free at Wade’s I’d be happy to add that to the list. Garfields website is down at the moment so when it is back up I’ll get that posted.
I’ve added notes for Friendly’s, Captain D’s and Red Robin. Red Robin’s website states that company operated stores do not have a kids eat free promotion but franchises may do so. My local Red Robin does offer the kids eat free promotion!
As stated at the top of the list, please do call your local restaurant before you expect to get these deals!
Recently ate at S&S Cafeteria, which offers 99-cent children’s meals (up to two per each adult entree). The kids’ meals include a meat, two veggies, a roll, jello and a beverage. Also, they were very helpful and accommodating with the children, carrying their trays to the table, bringing extra silverware and napkins, refilling drinks, etc.
Here’s the link: http://www.sscafeterias.com/kidsclub.htm.
Thanks for providing this much-needed list.
Great Listing! If you sign up for kids clubs at all of your favorite restaurants, you get emails with special events like family nights/events and free meals on birthdays. This works out great for both the restaurant and customer.
The Applebee’s in Orange City, FL does not do free/discounted kid’s meals on any day of the week.
This is a good list! I don’t have kids yet so I’ll pass the link on my sister who has three.
Garfield’s lets kids eat free all day on Sunday. For each adult entree ordered, you get 2 free kid’s meals which is nice because many places only give you one per adult.
No Applebees, TGIFridays or Ihop that I called in my South FL area had kids eating free on any days.
The Applebees restaurants in the Dallas area have switched from Monday to Tuesday. I have not found any other restaurant in our area doing a kids eat free night any more. I always check the listing and call no matter what the corprate web site says. Thanks for the site.
Perkins Restaurant & Bakery have free kids meals on Wednesdays and SATURDAYS, from 4-9pm, with a purchase of an adult meal. They also have added a tast of Italy, Italian Icecream, known as Gelato is FABULOUS. It sure is nice to know that some restaurants are becoming more health consious. 93% fat free is the best way to enjoy a great dish of summer!!!
Not all Jason’s Deli’s have kids eat free on Sundays, in fact the one’s in Illinois where I live have it on Monday nights. Combine that with the free ice cream and its the best deal around.
