Kids eat free every day at restaurants around the United States! With five kids myself, I know how expensive it can be to take your crew out for a decent meal… but sometimes, it’s just nice to splurge! Now, you can save money on your next restaurant trip with this handy guide. Find out where your kids eat free tonight!
Please note: Restaurant policies can change any time and details may vary by location. Please call ahead and confirm that your location participates. I call ahead every time, even though we usually visit the same locations. 🙂

I would love to, Lanea! Unfortunately, it might be a while before I'm able to develop that list. I did find a helpful list for Denver and Colorado Springs on citymomsblog.com. Until I'm able to get your list together, I'd recommend checking there. :)
