Kid's Eat FREE/Cheap Guide

DEALS!

By Kelly Zaryk, Publisher Macaroni Kid Pittsford-SE Rochester, NY May 11, 2022

The only thing we like more than going out to eat, is saving money when we go out to eat!  A lot of websites have Kids Eat Free lists, but I wondered how accurate they were, and found that they were not very accurate at all.  Deals may change at the discretion of the individual restaurants at any time without notice - so, you may still want to confirm the deal before visiting the restaurant.

I have listed the deals by day first., following the Family Dining options.  In order to receive nearly all of these deals, an adult must purchase a meal - not just an appetizer, for example.  Often times, drinks may not be included with the kids' meals, so please plan accordingly. Just a friendly reminder, that when you tip, if should always be on the total BEFORE DISCOUNTS.  So, add those free meals onto the bill total before you figure out the tip! Your Server thanks you!
