Correction: Backyard Burger (at least the Louisville location) does NOT currently have a Kids eat free day. We went there based on this website only to discover the error after we ordered. The employee said they might add one in the future though.
Sorry, but that’s why it says right there at the top: “Please call the restaurant location you plan on attending to get your free kids meal before you pack the kids in the car to go. Some of the individual restaurants may choose to opt out of the promotion or have slight differences.”
Thanks for the correction…it’s been deleted!
FYI…The free kid’s meal at Shoney’s is actually kids under 4 eating from the buffet for free when an adult purchase. Just thought I would add that.
McAllister’s has kids eat free on Weds
Shiraz on Shelbyville road has free meals for kids on Tuesdays.
Applebees does not have a free kids meal day. Even though it says Monday’s at the top. Went there tonite just because it said kids eat free but found out that was not the case. I guess you shouldn’t believe everything you read.
One thing you *should* believe when you read it is this part, Sandy:
“Please call the restaurant location you plan on attending to get your free kids meal before you pack the kids in the car to go. ”
It’s that big bold type at the beginning of this page!
Now, don’t stop believin’!!!
