Many restaurants are advertising kids eat free offers as a way to get more business. Here are some tips and online tools you can use to find restaurants where kids eat free in your area:

Keep your eyes peeled. National chain restaurants may advertise current kids eat free offers through television commercials, ads in newspapers and other publications or on the restaurant's website. A few recent kids eat free offers nationwide include:

  • Denny's Kids 10 and under eat free Tuesday nights 4pm - 10pm (and Saturdays at some locations). Up to two free kids' entrées from the kid's menu per one regularly priced adult entrée purchase.
  • Marie Callender's Kids 12 and under eat free Tuesdays & Saturdays with the purchase of an adult entrée. Limit one free kid's meal per adult entrée purchased. Cannot be combined with other offers.
  • IHOP Available for a limited time at participating locations, IHOP's 'Kids Eat Free' dinner promotion runs nightly August 17 through September 13. Families who dine in at IHOP from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily will receive one free Kid's Meal with each adult entrée purchase. The free meal is valid for kids 12 and under on IHOP's "Just for Kids" menu items (drinks are not included unless otherwise specified on the "Just for Kids" menu). The offer is not valid with any other discounts, coupons or specials. Read more about this promotion here.
  • Holiday Inn Hotels Kids 12 and under eat free, dining in the hotel's restaurant from the Kid's menu and when accompanied by a family member dining from the regular menu. For registered guests only. Limit 4 kids per dining family.

Another great way to locate kids eat free offers is by using websites that allow you to search for deals in your area. Some of these sites include:

Some of the smaller independent restaurants may only advertise at their establishments, so check with places in your neighborhood. Many kids eat free promotions are only offered for a limited time and only at participating locations, so it's wise to verify the offers before you go.
