If you’re looking to stretch your dining dollars, restaurants where kids eat FREE or at a discount is a foolproof way to keep your family budget in check. We contacted every one of these restaurants verify the deals, but keep in mind that they can change their offers at any time. Also, in many cases there were several locations of a restaurant, and when we called them we got varying information. And finally, it’s possible that the person who gave us the information wasn’t 100% sure of the details.

Friendly Reminder: Double-Check Beforehand
Mile High On The Cheap thoroughly vets every item published and strives for 100% accuracy. However, details may change without notice or errors may occur.
As always, prices, hours and participating locations may vary.
Some events and activities may be canceled or postponed with little to no notice.
Please verify all deals and events with the business or venue, before ordering or making plans.
However, here are some basic guidelines to follow:
Promos are valid at participating locations on respective day of the week.
Most are only valid for dine-in. However, some are available for online orders.
Many have time restrictions, so be sure to check your phone before sitting down.
Most (if not, all) free kids’ meals must be ordered from a children’s or select menu.
Most offers are limited to kids 12 and under. However, a few have younger age restrictions.
Each free kid’s meal requires the purchase of an adult entrée at regular price.
Limit one FREE kid’s meal per full-paid adult entrée — some, but not many, allow more than one.
Discount cannot be combined with other offers, coupons or promos.
Children must be present.
If you’re in doubt about any requirements or restrictions, ask first and before ordering. Or, even better yet, call ahead. Parents know an unexpected large tab can be quite frustrating, so don’t be shy about asking for details.
