Imagine, your kids getting free meals every time you dine in at a restaurant!
How much money could you save by not having to pay for your kids’ meal?
Dining out can be expensive, especially if you have kids to feed.
According to a survey by Gallup, Americans spend $151 on food per week on average. Some go as high as $300 a week!
Unfortunately, a big portion of that money is spent on eating out.
But, treating your family to dinner out doesn’t have to be a budget buster!

What Restaurants Have Kids Eat Free Today?
We’ve compiled a list of restaurants where your kids can eat for free, (or almost free) and a few that offer extra freebies just for kids.
Please be aware that many restaurant locations are franchised, and participation may vary by location.
A quick note: While researching for this post, I came across a few places that have amazing deals. While these places don’t offer free food, they do offer very cheap meals for kids that I thought some of you might still find helpful, so I decided to add those to the list as well. They offer kids meals for (mainly) under $2.

– FRIDAY
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any confirmed deals just for Friday.
I suspect it has to do with the fact that Fridays are one of the busiest days for most restaurants so they don’t need to really entice customers with special offers for kids.
That said, there are places that give free food to kids every day of the week, including Fridays.
You can see a list of ’em under the “Every Day” section below.
