Kids Eat Free FAQs

Does TGI Fridays Offer Kids Eat Free Deals?

So here’s the thing: TGI Fridays definitely offers Kids Eat Free specials. But because every location we called offered it on a different night, we’d suggest contacting your nearest Fridays to find out which day they offer the promotion.

Every location we called told Krazy Coupon Lady the Kids Eat Free special is only available on dine-in orders, which is good to know. One TGI Fridays manager also shared that his location usually offers the promo every day during the month of September, so be on the lookout during back-to-school time.

Did O’Charley’s Stop Offering Kids Eat Free Every Day?

For decades, families flocked to O’Charley’s Restaurant + Bar for their Kids Eat Free deal. Under the long-running promotion, children 10 and under could eat free all day, every day with the purchase of an adult entree. But sometime during the pandemic, O’Charley’s cut the cord on the daily special. However, they do bring it back on occasion.

If you’re a fan of O’Charley’s, follow their official Facebook page because that’s where they usually announce when Kids Eat Free is coming back.
