    1. Oh no! I just paid someone to update this list. They didn’t have a kids’ deal at all?

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

  1. IHOP on Ridge, S. Washington, and Maize Rd offer Kids Eat Free EVERY NIGHT! Along with Senior Buy One Get One Free *with purchase of a beverage* EVERY DAY (3-6pm)

  2. I just called Golden Corral on Ridge Road and they are no longer offering 99 cent kids meals.

  3. Called Red Robin on 13th St today, they said they don’t offer $1.99 kids entree. Person on phone didn’t sound sure however…. Someone should follow up to confirm.

    1. Thanks for letting us know Katie. I called this morning and confirmed that none of the Red Robin’s in Wichita are participating in this offer.

  4. 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.

    1. 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!

    2. 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!

  5. 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.

    1. 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!

  6. Keep seeing an ad that says kids eat free on mondays at Slim chickens (Greenwich and k-96).

  7. Reuben’s Mexican Grill has free meals for kids on Tuesday with an adult meal purchase. LImit is 1 free kid meal with adult meal.

  8. Old Chicago West has kids eat free every Tuesday after 5 pm with the purchase of an adult entree… not sure about the other locations.

  9. Kids meals for .99 cents at Livingston’s diner 21 and Webb location. 2-8 Tuesday-Saturday. February 2018 only.

  10. 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.

  11. Dang, I was hoping to take advantage of the Applebees kids deal by ordering car-side, but it’s only good for dine-in.

    1. Darn. Sorry it didn’t work for carside. But thanks for letting us know. Now we can update the info so everyone will know that the deal is for dine-in only.

  12. Pure Entertainment offers a free kids meal with the purchase of one adult meal, Tues-Thurs, 10am-7pm

    1. Hey, Angela, thanks for the tip. I went to the website and it looks like the Kid’s Meals are still $1.99, after 4 p.m. Thanks!

    1. 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 🙂

      1. 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.
