Weeknights are busy and sometimes, it’s nice to be able to eat at a restaurant as a family without spending a fortune. As we all know, the cost of food has skyrocketed in the last few years, and when the cost of food is so high, everyone feels the pinch, and finding restaurants that offer FREE or cheap meals is like finding a unicorn. However, some places still help families stay within their budget and get out of the house for a nice family meal.
Boston Pizza- MyBP Card Deal
Boston Pizza frequently has family deals and kids-eat-free (or cheap) events throughout the year, particularly around school holidays and breaks. But there’s another way to save as well! If you have registered for a MyBP, add your child or children to your account so they can start collecting rewards as well. The 6th kid’s meal is FREE!
Denny’s – Tuesdays from 4pm – 10pm
For every one adult entree ordered from the general menu up to two (2) kids’ entrees are free. At participating locations only; ask your server for details.
Home – any day any time
The 10 and under crowd can pick from a wide variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options for only $6.49. Lunch and dinner meals also come with jello or ice cream for dessert. Yum!
IHop – every day 4pm-10pm
IHop is more than just breakfast (although their pancakes are incredible!) and the best part? Kids eat FREE every day from 4pm-10pm. Guess we know where you’re heading for dinner!
IKEA – Wednesdays
Kids eat FREE at IKEA on Wednesdays when you sign up for an IKEA Family card (also free)! For every adult meal purchased, get one FREE kid’s meal. Dining at IKEA is already super reasonable, so this is truly a great deal!
Red Robins- Wednesdays
Red Robins is the ultimate family restaurant because they offer so many options, and they have ‘bottomless’ options on everything from fries to drinks, which is perfect for hungry kids! Additionally, every Wednesday, Kids Meals (which include an entree, side and drink) are 50% off!
Ricky’s All Day Grill – daily
Kids under 2 can select 2 pancakes, mashed potatoes & gravy for FREE, or a fruit cup. Kids under 10 can select affordable options off the kids menu ranging in price from $7.99-$10.99
The Pantry – Wednesdays
Wednesday is Family Day at The Pantry! Adult meals are just $10.99 and consist of an entree, soup or salad to start, and fruit crumble with ice cream for dessert. Kids (12 and under) can choose any item from the Family Day menu for just $2.99, which includes milk, juice or pop and a dessert!
