- To avoid the rush, consider eating earlier in the evening. 5:00 p.m. is usually less crowded than 7:00 p.m.
- Bring quiet games to entertain the kids or just a pad of paper and a pen!
- Many restaurants offer their menus online. Look it over before you leave the house so you’re ready to order when you get there.
- Bookmark our kids eat free guide in your phone! You can stretch your eating out budget a lot further if you plan ahead using our guide!
- For little ones, don’t forget the bib, sippy cup, toddler-sized silverware, small toys, crayons and wet wipes.
- Sign your children up for every birthday club at local restaurants. We have our kids signed up at Burger King, and Bob Evans, to name a few. They will get a certificate for a free Kids meal. Some of them have expiration dates; so be sure to take note.
