IHOP is bringing back a December favorite this year: Kids Eat Free. If you’re a Wichita family trying to save a little during the Holiday Season like my girls and I are, this deal can stretch your dining budget in a big way. But there’s a catch this year, so here’s what Wichita parents need to know before heading out for pancakes.

Kids 12 and under can eat free with the purchase of an adult entrée from December 1 through December 21. The offer runs daily from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., making it a great option for an easy dinner before evening activities or after a long day of holiday errands. For families like mine, it’s a simple way to enjoy a night out without blowing the budget.
However, some IHOP franchise owners nationwide are pushing back against the mandatory promotion. Because of that, not every location is participating. Wichita locations have offered Kids Eat Free in the past, but availability can vary, especially during this year’s franchisee revolt. Before loading the kids into the car, it’s smart to call ahead and make sure your local IHOP is honoring the deal.
If your location is participating, this can be one of the better December dining deals for Wichita families. An early dinner, a free kids meal, and an easy night out always feel like a win when you’re trying to save during the holidays.
