If you have little ones, the costs of going out for dinner can add up pretty quickly, so it’s always a great idea to consider visiting restaurants where kids eat free.
You may be surprised to learn there are a handful of nationwide restaurants where kids eat free, including some well-known locations you’re likely already familiar with.
While pretty much all restaurants offer children’s meals at a lower price than that of an adult meal, choosing restaurants where kids eat free can save you a lot of money if you go out to eat often. As a bonus, it also means no cooking or clean-up!
Take a look at some of the most popular restaurants where kids eat free either all the time or on special occasions. We have only included restaurants who advertise the free meals on their website, so if you have another one in mind, give them a call and ask about their deals for children.
Denny’s
Kids eat free at Denny’s restaurants with any adult entrée purchase of $6 or more. To get the deal, simply sign-up for their free rewards program, which also includes perks like 20% off your first visit, birthday gifts and other deals.
Days and participation vary by location and restrictions may apply, so you’ll want to ask your local location for details.
Moe’s Southwest Grill
Kids under 12 can pick a burrito, taco or quesadilla (plus a cookie) for no charge with the purchase of an adult entree at Moe’s Southwest Grill on Sundays.
The deal is valid only at participating locations, so you will want to call your location and ask before heading out to dinner.
Chili’s
Simply enroll in the My Chili’s Rewards program and you’ll receive personalized rewards based on what you eat at Chili’s, which includes a free kids’ meal with the purchase of a regular entree.
While Chili’s doesn’t say how often you’ll receive the reward for a free kids’ meal, if you eat there often, you’re more likely to get more rewards.
Red Lobster
Kids eat free on Tuesdays (up to a $9.99 value) at Red Lobster with the purchase of an adult entree. If ordering in-restaurant, be sure to mention the deal, or if ordering online, use code LOBSTER 91.
The deal does have some exclusions — like the Kids’ Petite Maine Lobster Tail entree — that cannot be combined with any other offer.
Ruby Tuesday
Kids eat free every Tuesday at Ruby Tuesday from 5 p.m.-close. The deal includes one free kids’ entree per adult entree.
The kids’ menu includes cheese pizza, cheeseburger sliders, mini corn dogs or chicken tenders, all served with one side.
Dickey’s BBQ Pit
While not nationwide, if you have a Dickey’s BBQ Pit near you, your kids can eat there for free every Sunday with a minimum $10 purchase.
The deal is only available for delivery or carryout for a limited time, and you will need to use code KEFOLO if ordering online. It is only for kids 12 and under and not valid with any other coupons, offers, discounts or promotions.
Texas de Brazil
Children 2 years of age and under are always free at Texas de Brazil, while children 3-5 years are $5 and 6-12 years old are half price.
While it appears the deal is valid at every location, it wouldn’t hurt to call your local restaurant and ask just in case.
Kids Eat Free on Their Birthday
There are also a handful of restaurants that give kids a free meal on their birthday. While these restaurants don’t offer free food year-round, the birthday deals are usually good for their entire birthday month, or at least a week, so you can sign-up for all of them and celebrate at multiple restaurants.
Firehouse Subs
Just sign up with your email address for any child or children under 15 and they’ll get a special offer on their birthday. The deal is valid for all children in your family and includes a free Kids’ Combo or medium sub with the purchase of a medium or large sub, chips and drink.
The offer is valid on your child’s birthday or within the following six days.
Red Robin
Anyone who signs up for the Red Robin Royalty rewards program can get a free meal on their birthday, including children. Simply add any child under age 17 to your profile and they’ll get a free meal on their birthday.
The reward will be activated on your account the first day of their birthday month and can be redeemed once during that month by applying the reward to a purchase. It is good for dine-in only and your child must be present to redeem the reward.
Baskin Robbins
Kids can get a free scoop of ice cream on their birthday at Baskin Robbins at multiple locations nationwide.
