DISCLOSURE: This is not a sponsored post, nor do we receive kickbacks from any of the restaurants listed (although that would certainly be nice!). We keep this list just to make sure that both we and our readers get the most bang for our dining-out dollar. 🙂
Wow thanks so much for the information (:
Oh yeah, kids eat free at Mercado’s on mondays.
Thanks for letting me know, Natalie. I’ve added that to the list!
Mr Gattis Pizza offers a kids eat free buffet on Wednesday night. I also heard Clear Springs Restaurant offers KEF on Tuesday night. Thank you for putting a list together. I refer to it often!
Thanks for those tips, Brandon. I’ll add them to the list ASAP.
Kids eat free at fuzzy tacos on Sunday with an purchase of an adult meal
Thanks so much for letting me know. I’ll add that to my list ASAP.
McAlisters has changed their kid’s meals to strictly $1.99 each. It’s still a great deal for an entree, a side, and a package of cookies. Thank you for this list. We use it often! God Bless!!
Thanks for letting me know, Melody. I really appreciate it, and I’ve updated my listing to reflect that change.
Shogun’s changed their free day to Sundays.
Thanks for letting me know, LaTresa. I’ve updated our list to reflect that change.
I wanted to let you know that Slim Chicken and Freebirds both have kids eat free on Sundays. Mercados has kids eat free on Mondays.
Thanks so much, Paula. I’m in the process of updating my list right now. I knew about the first two (thanks to other readers), but not about Mercados. I appreciate you passing that information along to me!
Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar in Tyler has kids eat free on Tuesday’s 5:00-100:00pm with adult meal purchase. I saw this advertised on the table there and also I just called to verify it. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for letting me know, Beth. I didn’t even know we had a Walk-On’s in town!
Went to Salsarita’s on Saturday and they notified us they recently changed their ‘kids eat free’ day to Mondays.
Thanks for letting me know, Kim. I’ll edit my list to reflect that change.
Kids eat free on Sundays at Slim’s Chicken on Broadway
That’s great, Mallory. Thanks so much for letting me know. Will add that to my list right away.
Steak and Shake on University is permanently closed.
Thanks for letting me know, Natalie. I’ll take it off the list.
Double Dave’s shut down, so they no longer are an option 🙁
Thanks for letting me know, Ryan. I’ll take them off the list. Sadly, my little boy just won a free dinner for four from Double Dave’s as a door prize at a Christmas party last week! I guess we should have used it right away, huh?

Kid’s Eat FREE Every Tuesday. Limit One FREE Kid’s Meal Per Adult Entr?e Purchase
Nights: Tues |
Applebee’s
Thanks for letting me know, Dansel. I called to verify that information and will add it to the list. You wrote me about free kids meals at The Diner, too, but that offer has expired. The Diner closes at 2:00 every day and kids who eat there have to pay for their meals, just like the adults. 🙁
Love this webpage… Thank you… I don’t have all the details, but Rounders Pizza has Tuesday night kids eat free…
Thanks for tipping me off about that one, Dansel. I’ll call to get the full scoop and add it to the list if the offer is ongoing. I appreciate your writing to let me know about it.
I just received an email that kids eat free all day on Wednesday at Clear Springs for the month of September. It’s one kid per adult entree with max of two children. Expires September 28.
Thanks for letting us know!
You guys should add military discounts for our veterans. Some do discounts with valid ID, some require in full uniform FYI.
That’s a great idea, Andrew, and I may someday do that. In the meantime, I found a pretty comprehensive list here. And I can tell you from the days that my husband was in the Army Reserves that many stores/ restaurants/ hotels that extend discounts to veterans and servicemen do not advertise that fact, so be sure to ask!
Posados has kids eat free on mondays 1 per adult entree
Thanks so much for letting me know, Shelley. I’ve added it to our list!
Just learned that Double Dave’s has Kids Eat Free on Wednesdays & Sundays for the buffet.
Thanks so much for letting me know. I’ll add that to our list!
Thanks for letting me know, Lindsey. They were still honoring it the last time I checked, but that was about 4 months ago. I’ve taken them off the list now.
I learned this evening that Applebee’s does not honor kids eat free on Tuesdays. The employee verified the change was recent with new management.
Corner Bakery Cafe on Troup has kids eat free on Tuesdays from 4-9
Thanks so much for letting me know, Natalie. I’ve added it to the list!
Went to Chick-fil-a on broadway last night and they are no longer doing kids eat free.
Thanks for letting me know, Natalie. I’ve changed the listing to reflect that fact. Just found out 3Z Azian Cuizine lets kids eat free on Tuesdays, though, so you’ll have to check that one out. Maybe we’ll see you there!
An employee at Fresh today told me they no longer honor kids eat free
Thanks so much for the heads up, Joe. I’ve taken them off the list accordingly.
I called them today and they told me it was only for the whitehouse location?
Thanks so much for letting me know. I’ll change the listing.
Steak and shake has a kids eat free for every $8 or so spent. I think its both Sunday and Saturday. Thank you for compiling this list, it was a huge help for us when we were moving and had to eat out.
Thanks so much for letting me know, Caitlin. Steak-n-Shake is within biking distance from our house. Maybe we’ll see you there! Glad you found our list helpful. I’ve updated now it to include this offer, too.
Kids eat free at Rib Masters Wednesday and Thursday. I just called to verify at the Tyler location.

You may want to check your listings and update them. I went to Applebee’s last night and they told me it was one child free per one adult. I showed them this and they honored it, thankfully. But they said it’s supposed to be one for one. Thanks!
Kids no longer eat free at Cheng’s.
We are planning a trip this coming week to look for property or places to rent. This list will be so helpful.
