While eating out may be too expensive these days due to inflation and the rising prices of the ingredients, there are still plenty of restaurants across America where kids eat for free.
Parents, you might save a few bucks if you treat your kids to a popular eatery that offers the types of food that your children already love. This guarantees that there will be no food wasted, and you could continue to support the establishment that's likely still trying to recover from the pandemic lockdowns.
So, here are eight choices where you can bring your kids to eat for free:
1. Denny's
Denny's has maintained its promotion for kids to eat free every Tuesday, from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., as long as their adult companions buy an entree at the regular price. The offer is good for two children per adult meal, but it's limited to kids from 10 years old below. It's also offered for dine-in meals only. Denny's has hundreds of locations across the U.S.
2. Chili's
Parents need to enroll in Chili's rewards program to avail themselves of the free meal for kids. Once registered, they will regularly get a text or email alerts about the offers. There are no time restrictions to avail of this; the family can drop in at any time and use the rewards program's benefits. The kids' menu usually includes pizza, pasta, fried chicken, and burgers. Kids 12 years old and below are eligible for the free food with a purchase of an entree.
3. IHOP
If your kids love breakfast food for dinner, take them to IHOP, where the free food promo runs daily from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The options include pudding pancakes, a strip of bacon with pork sausage, a pile of banana pudding pancakes, some wafers and cookies, or a sausage-egg-bacon combo with donut holes cinnamon. The menu changes regularly depending on the promos.

Every first Wednesday of the month between 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. is Kid's Night at Red Robin. The food choices include burgers, mac and cheese, chicken fingers, corn dogs, grilled chicken, and some sides. However, some locations might not honor the offer, so better call before heading to the restaurant.
