Kids Eat Free
Go easy on the cook and on the checkbook by taking advantage of these local kids-eat-free (or kids-eat-cheap) restaurant deals!

You can browse by day of the week, or scroll down to see entire list. Since programs may end without notice, it’s a good idea to call first to verify that kids (still) eat free.

We do our best to keep this list up to date. If you discover that one of the restaurants listed is no longer offering kids-eat-free, or if you know of a restaurant we’ve left out, please let us know by sending us an e-mail.

Don’t live in Tyler? Don’t get left out. Click on restaurant links below to see whether they offer the same deal in your neck of the woods, or click here to view other kids-eat-free offers.

Special Events

Cow Appreciation Day
Adults as well as kids can eat free on “Cow Appreciation Day”. Just show up at any Chick-fil-A restaurant on the second Tuesday of July fully dressed as a cow to receive a free combo meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). Partial cow attire will earn you one free entree. So strap on those horns and udders and mooooove on out!

  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!

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!
