As a mom, I know that life can get hectic and you don’t have time to make dinner for your family. Going out can get expensive especially if you have a large family. Luckily, there are quite a few restaurants where kids eat free.
This can help save your sanity on those busy nights and still help you stick to a budget.
I have compiled a kids eat free list list of all of the national restaurants that offer promotions. I highly recommend that you check out the website or call ahead to make sure that your location offers the deal before you go.
Some will vary by state/location so make sure to check before you drive all the way there. I have categorized the list by day of the week so you can easily look up your options.
I have also included some restaurants that offer very cheap kid’s meals because they are still a great bargain even if they aren’t free.
