Where do you go for Kids Eat Free or Other Family Dining Deals? Leave us a comment, so we can share with the community. Note: Many former family meal deals no longer exist. To do our best to avoid disappointment, we only share deals we can personally verify.
If you don’t have it on the list already, kids eat free on Tuesday nights at The Tipsy Steer’s Minneapolis and Blaine locations from 4pm-8:30pm with purchase of any regular menu priced meal.
Thank you, Chris! We will share this information in our list.
went to pinstripes for kids free eating on wednesday, but it’s changed to sundays
Thank you for letting us know, Noah. Pinstripes is great and so much fun, but they are inconsistent. I will edit this.
This list is a lifesaver! Finding affordable dining options for the whole family can be challenging, but I love how you’ve compiled all the “Kids Eat Free” spots in the Twin Cities. Can’t wait to try some of these places! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Smurf. Share your favorites!
Thanks for compiling this awesome list! It’s great to find places where the kids can eat for free or cheap. These options really help with family outings on a budget. Can’t wait to check them out!
Keep us updated as you explore these options, Vera. We would love to hear your favorites.
This is such a helpful list! I love finding new places to take my kids without breaking the bank. Thanks for sharing these awesome options for family outings in the Twin Cities!
We’re glad you find it helpful, Daman. Stop back and tell us about any restaurants you visit. We appreciate reader feedback.
Well thank you for sharing with us great information
I’m glad you found it useful, Darren. Stop back and share your reviews.
This list is a lifesaver! It’s great to see so many options for families in the Twin Cities. I can’t wait to take my kids out for some budget-friendly meals. Thanks for compiling this!
Thank you! We would love to hear about your outings. Let us know where you went and what worked and didn’t work for your family.
Love this post! As a local mom, I’m always looking for affordable and fun activities to do with my kids in the Twin Cities. The list of free and cheap places to eat is so helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Stay tuned! We’ll be adding reviews of some of these restaurants in the coming months.
Thank you for your sharing this resource. I am worried that I lack creative ideas for family dinners. It’s always the same, tacos, chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, sandwiches. These promotions give me a start.
I feel you, Bonnie. We do Taco Tuesday and Pizza Friday so often, I sometimes just want to do something different. Plus, there is the whole social aspect of going out for dinner. These free kid’s entrée deals really help when the kids are small. I admit that, now that mine are getting to be teens, it gets to be a little harder to feed us all cheaply. That’s why we’ve started doing Take-Out Deals, so we can supplement at home.
Ze’s Diner locations have kids eat free on Wednesdays!
Thank you, Alicia. We have verified and added this deal.
Wow this very good post, thanks for sharing your researching post.

Bloomington Fuddruckers doesn’t offer kids eat free or any combo deal in Wednesdays
Thank you for letting us know, Lauren. We will remove that from our list.
Good news. I have heard back from Fuddruckers and they DO still offer both deals.
“Good Morning Joy,
Yes we are still offering those deals. Both are valid after 4pm and are exactly as you stated. Please feel free to reach out to us with any further questions.
Delighted To Help,

Would you send me a update list of free family list?
Cathy Callaway @ cathycallaway@charter.net
Hi Cathy:
Are you looking for our Free Calendar or our monthly list Free Twin Cities August Events & Activities?
Is it possible to get an updated version of this listing?
For sure Old Country buffet is gone.
Thanks
Hi Lisa:
I called the Old Country Buffet in Burnsville (the one we list) and they are still open and still offer the same Thursday night deal. I know some others have gone out of business recently. We will verify these deals and add an updated verification date to the various entries.
HoneyBaked Ham- kids eat free with adult purchase (open for lunch)
Thank you, Jill.
We’re going to check this out.
I know that at the Lakeville Green Mill we often go for Sunday Buffet. Most of the time they let our kids eat free…once they did charge us. They said it was for kids 4 and up. I told them we had a 4 year old but they only charged us for the 6 year old. I can’t remember how much maybe $6?
Oh…and we get a senior’s discount as well.
