Restaurants, particularly chain restaurants, often offer free meals for children as a way to get families to dine there. Deals may be available on specific nights or throughout the week, but are subject to change so it's best to call ahead to check before going. Unless stated otherwise, the deals are applicable for children under the age of 12 and require ordering off the kid's menu. The purchase of an adult meal is usually required.
Monday
Kids can eat free at Applebee's on Mondays. The exact deal is one free kid's meal per purchased adult meal. If there are more children than adults, additional children eat for a dollar each. Children under the age of 10 eat free at Golden Corral from 5 to 9 p.m., limited to two kids per adult. Kids eat free all day Monday at some Jason's Deli locations (at others, it is all day Sunday). Children also eat free all day at Moe's Southwest Grill, with adult meal purchase.
Tuesday
Kids under 12 can eat free at Lonestar Steakhouse, with a limit of two children per adult meal purchased. Tony Roma's, Texas Roadhouse, Perkins Restaurant and Bakery and Friendly's offer free meals for kids all day on Tuesday. Chik-fil-A offers free meals from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. during Family Fun Night.
Wednesday
At Firehouse Subs, children under 12 eat free from 4 to 9 pm on Wednesday (and Sunday). Kids eat free all day at Marie Callender's, an offer that repeats on Saturday.
Thursday
Kids eat free after 4 pm at Backyard Burger. Captain D's has free meals all day and a seafood themed kid's menu. Caserta Vecchia offers free meals between the hours of 5 and 9 pm.
Friday
Friday is a good day to take advantage of restaurants that offer deals throughout the week, as this day tends to be lighter on specific offers. IHOP has free meals for kid's under 12 from the hours of 4 to 8 pm. O'Charley's has free meals all day. Children under 4 eat free at Shoney's and those under 3 eat free at Cici's Pizza.
Saturday
Steak n' Shake has free combo meals for kids with the purchase of an adult meal of $9 or more. Sasarita's Fresh Cantina offers free meals from its Mexican themed kid's menu all day on Saturday.
Sunday
Sunday deals include free meals all day at Hooter's, Villa Rosa Italian Restaurant & Grill, Tumbleweed Southwest Grill and Dickey's Barbeque Pit. Repeating deals from earlier in the week include Jason's Deli, Steak n' Shake and Firehouse Subs.
