The Wichita Eagle: Never pay for your kid to eat at a Wichita restaurant again

Published: 25 Sep 2017

View the full article here


If you plan carefully, you could eat out at a restaurant every night until your kids turn 12 and never, ever pay for their meals.


Free Picasso’s cheese pizza on Monday. Free District Taqueria quesadillas on Tuesday. Free Logan’s Roadhouse ribs on Wednesday. Free Riverside Cafe hamburgers on Thursday. Free IHOP pancakes on Friday. Free Twin Peaks mac and cheese on Saturday. Free Dickey’s barbecue sliders on Sunday.


Although this plan might not be cost efficient in the end – considering that an adult entree purchase is required for nearly every kids-eat-free deal in town – isn’t it exciting to know it’s possible?


Several restaurants in town like to court parents by offering free or extremely cheap children’s meals certain nights of the week. The most popular night is Tuesday. The least popular is Friday. But free and cheap food can be found every night of the week.


Here’s a guide to several of the deals available now. Keep in mind that restaurants periodically change their offers, so if you hold on to this article for a while, you might want to check before you go. Also, most of these deals are available for dine-in customers only.
