Looking for a place go to out to dinner tonight? Why not try a location where your kids will cost you ZERO!?! Below you will find the ultimate list of restaurants where kids may score a free meal!
Dining out is not cheap. Even if you are using a restaurant coupon, the cost for dinner out with your family can still be costly. That is why you want to find places where your kids eat free!
Our list includes the more popular restaurants throughout the country. Hopefully one of these happens to be at a location near you! Make sure you check with the local restaurants in your are. Some of them also offer fantastic discounts for their younger patrons as well!
One word of caution I need to mention is about franchises. Some of these locations fall into this category. That means those owners may or may not participate in these promotions. The promotions below have been passed along to us by many readers who have these offers where they visit. Make sure you always ask before you place your order.
**Please inquire before ordering as offers vary by location.
It may even be best to call ahead and confirm before you head out.**
