Kids Eat Free

Restaurants where kids eat FREE or at a discount all or some days/evenings a week are a foolproof way to stretch a family restaurant budget. Also, check out our friend Deb “Debbie’s Deals” Stanley’s recently updated Kids Eat Free list on The Denver Channel’s website. If you stumble across any kids meal deals or find a deal is no longer available, be sure to send us an e-mail. When it comes to chains, where kids-free offers frequently reside, the caveat is generally “at participating locations.”  The basic list was accurate as of January 11, 2012.
