Kids can be very picky eaters. To make things a bit easier, why not choose a place where you don’t have to pay for the food? Many restaurants have a promo going on where if they order something, kids eat free – so both you and your kids get to eat while saving some money! What’s there not to like about that?
Bring them to a fast-food restaurant, a casual dining spot, or a fancy restaurant – no matter where you bring your children to eat, there’s still potential for an outburst of some sort, an extreme love of a certain food (that winds up in you being asked to go there for every meal, every single day), or just the too often heard, “I don’t want to eat that”.
Disclaimer: As always some deals vary depending on location (days, times, free or discounted meals), so make sure to call your local restaurant to make sure they still offer kids food promo. If you see an error from this list, we apologized but please let us know so we can make the correction.
