Family Dinner Night: Kids Eat Free in the South Sound

 

By Sonia Garza

It wasn’t until I had a child that I truly appreciated restaurants that offered free kids meals. Kids can be expensive, after all, especially if you have a big eater. And, with meals ranging from $2 to $7, it can add up quickly. I would see the dollars fly out of my wallet purchasing pricey kids meals for my son, only to have him pick it apart and eat only a fraction of it. So, what’s a parent to do?

This handy guide is your go-to source for free kid’s meals around the South Sound. Have fun feeding your kiddos for free!

*Make sure to call ahead of time to see if they are a participating restaurant as some are for certain locations only.

Every Thursday at McNamara’s Pub & Eatery in Dupont, kids can enjoy meals like chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese and mini corn dogs (just to name a few) for every $10 spent by a paying adult.
