That’s so disappointing, Katie. I’m sorry if we got it wrong. They change things so frequently. 🙁

Kara, thanks for letting us know! I’ll update the listing.
You may want to verify this, but my son is two and I have had to pay 50 cents per year for him to eat at Tallianos, so about a buck. I have never taken him there and had him eat for free.
Thank you for letting us know, Anaidy. We do verify everything before we share it, but maybe there was some miscommunication. I’m going to err on the side of caution and change it now, then we’ll double-check it with the restaurant. Thanks again!
Thanks for the update. I think a buck is still pretty cheap for a kids meal, but its good to know when you’re on a budget, and have more than one kid! Thanks again!
I may have overlooked this one, but McAllister’s offers kids meals for .99 if you dine in. And 2.49 for take out. We feed a family of 5 for under $30 at McAllister’s.
That is such a good deal! Yes, we have McAlister’s in the “Every Day” section of the article, but it’s all the way at the bottom and there are so many restaurants in here that it’s easy to miss. Thanks for the tip!
Keep seeing an ad that says kids eat free on mondays at Slim chickens (Greenwich and k-96).
Thanks, Patricia! I don’t think I’ve heard of that place, but I’ll look into it! Appreciate the heads-up.

Most the Middle Eastern Buffets have 5 and under free for the buffet. Some of them don’t start charging till age 7!
May want to call and confirm ages for them, but the ones I have been to that are 5 and under free have been Passage to India, Kabobs, and Zaytun.
Thank you for the tip! I will try calling some of them and see what I can find out!

Awesome, Ryan! Thanks for the tip. I never thought about checking them.
Just want to clarify on here about Ihop . Not all the locations do the kids eat free like it says . It’s only the E Kellogg location that does .
Just fyi ! Before you go to the Rock Rd one with all your kids and eat thinking it’s free for them to find out it’s not and have an 80 dollar tab like we did 🙂
Thanks for the update. As I mention at the top of the post, when we put this list together all the listings were verified and checked by calling and speaking to restaurant management. But restaurants change their deals frequently. Please always call to verify first.
It’s probably time for another update. It’s just so time-intensive calling all the places. I appreciate the information.
