Kid’s Eat FREE Every Tuesday. Limit One FREE Kid’s Meal Per Adult Entr?e Purchase
Nights: Tues |
Applebee’s
Jennifer Flanders says
December 16, 2016 at 2:27 pmThanks 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. 🙁
Dansel Ross says
December 8, 2016 at 8:16 amLove this webpage… Thank you… I don’t have all the details, but Rounders Pizza has Tuesday night kids eat free…
Jennifer Flanders says
December 16, 2016 at 2:28 pmThanks 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.
LaCole says
September 6, 2016 at 11:44 amI 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.
Jennifer Flanders says
September 7, 2016 at 8:49 pmThanks for letting us know!
Andrew says
September 4, 2016 at 12:28 amYou guys should add military discounts for our veterans. Some do discounts with valid ID, some require in full uniform FYI.
Jennifer Flanders says
September 4, 2016 at 7:31 amThat’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!
