Looking for a break from cooking duties but don’t want to break the bank with a family meal out? Fortunately, there are plenty of restaurant chains that offer deals where kids can eat free on certain days of the week. Most of these deals require kids to be under the age of 12 and require the purchase of an adult meal – but why not score some free kids’ food while you can right?
Note: These specials are subject to change at any time and may vary at your franchise location. Call to confirm these specials with the restaurant before you go.
