As a mother to three little ones, we are always looking for places the kids can eat free or cheap when we decided to go out. My kids are still young so they are able to share with me or split a kid's meal but before we know it, we won't be able to get away with sharing.
I've seen several mother's posting on social media and in mommy groups asking the famous question, "Where do kid's eat free tonight?" so in hopes of helping fellow mommies save some time and money, I have put together a list of restaurants that offer free or cheap deals for kids.
Keep in mind that restaurant participation varies by location so make sure to call ahead and ask if your local restaurant is participating in the following deals. Also restaurants are always changing their deals depending on the time of year, holidays, tax days, etc... so they may have a different deal going on at the time.

Several other restaurants, local or chain, hold special deals such as Kid's Nights throughout the year so keep an eye out and remember that this list may not be accurate do to the always changing marketing plans of restaurants.
Hopefully this list helps you find a good deal and a place to take your family to eat for a discounted price and if you play it right, it may actually be cheaper for your family to eat out than staying in on certain nights. Also keep in mind that several restaurants that have buffets allow children 3 & under to eat FREE with a purchase of adult meal. Restaurant rules may vary by city and state so make sure to call and ask before you make the trip! Y
ou can also always check offers.com to see if the restaurant has any other offers going on and if you sign up for the restaurant's club they will send you special deals and discounts throughout the year and around your birthday but thats another blog for another day. Feel free to share any other restaurants that offer free or cheap kid's meals below as I'm sure I missed a few!
