One of the things that blew me away when our children were old enough to enjoy their own kid’s meal at a restaurant, was how much their meals drove the bill up! To help keep your dining bill down, NJ Mom has compiled a list of more than forty of the best restaurants throughout the state of New Jersey where kids eat free every day of the week. Bon Appetit!

I live in Monmouth county, in Keyport nj can you tell me where in my area where the kids eat free. There is an ihop, an Applebee’s, TGI FRIDAYS, Perkins, but they don’t offer the kids eat free even if you buy a meal.
Hi Gail! I actually made some phone calls and it looks like the TGI Fridays has free kids nights on Monday & Tuesdays! IHOP is on Fridays. Appelbees usually does it on holidays and the next one is Easter.
What do most restaurants consider a child? 10 and under??
I think it probably depends on the location. I have seen some places 10 and some as old as 12.
Tuesday is character night at the red oak in Hazlet. Kids eat free with a purchase of an adult meal
