Put down those dirty dishes. You deserve to take a break from kitchen duties, to get out of the house and go out to eat with the family. But as we know that eating out can quickly eat up your food budget for the month, we’ve got a resource here you’ll want to bookmark: a day-by-day guide of kids meal deals throughout Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant Counties, offering either free or inexpensive ($8 or less before tax) bargains—and often both—depending on the day.
This guide is a mix of national chains and local eateries across Dallas-Fort Worth that are worth working into your weekly routine. Prefer a play area too? Check out these kid-friendly restaurants—or our calendar for more family fun events and activities while you’re out of the house. Look for our *editors’ picks with the asterisk.
Please note: All offers are subject to change and restrictions may apply; please call ahead for details. If you know of a great kid’s meal deal that should be included, or if you know of a special that has ended, please email us at [email protected].

The Bottom Line
Best Days for Variety: You’ll find the most overall options for meal deals earlier in the week—on Mondays and Tuesdays—and fewer as you get closer to the weekend.
Know Before You Go: Whether you’re out for breakfast, lunch or dinner—be sure to confirm with the wait staff that they’re still running that specific deal at the specific restaurant. The restaurant industry is a rapidly shifting one, and menus and prices may change.
