[Since my first post of this blog item, I've been contacted by folks associated with a really cool site, Kids Eat For (http://kidseatfor.com/), which tracks similar information, uses a voting system to keep data fresh, and even offers related iPhone and Android apps! When last I checked, the site was lacking many of the deals listed here, but thanks to the way it is set up, that's a problem you or I can solve.

I like to save money. The businesses near my home like to make money. Some of those businesses are smart enough to realize that if they give a little, I give a little, and we all wind up happy. I'm hear to talk about businesses near Harrisburg, NC that offer "Kids Eat Free" or discounted kids meals on certain nights. If you own a restaurant and offer these types of programs, my family (and others, too) will patronize your business, and will do so in preference to others that don't woo us through our children's bellies.
But since I've failed to find a reliable source of organized information about such offering in my area, I've decided to try to collect as much right here on this blog post. So, what follows is what I've found. You should assume that the definition of "kids" used here is "humans 12 years of age or younger".

Do you have something to add to this list? A correction to offer? Leave a comment, and let me know about it. Cost-conscious Harrisburgian parents, unite!
Are you a business owner in the Harrisburg, NC area who is not on this list? Perhaps it's time to get with the program.
Here are some other sites with similar collections of information, though perhaps not focused specifically on the Harrisburg area:

DISCLAIMER: I assume no responsibility for this information being incomplete, misleading, or downright wrong. While I'll try to keep it fresh and accurate, the onus is on you, the Reader, to verify this information before packing up your Suburban-full of hungry little monsters and heading off to terrorize one of these fine local establishments with an eye on saving a few bucks. Ya dig?
NOTE: Some of the information in updated versions of this post has come via the comments associated with the post. So if you read a comment that appears to suggest something already present in my post, chances are pretty good that the comment was there before I made the change/addition. Not that you should care anyway — we're here to discuss free food, not reading comprehension.
Hey Mike, good info though my kids are too old now. :-( Anyways, Sonic has half priced slushes 2-5 at least on weekdays. I haven't been for a while. Also, they have 5 for $5.95 burgers on Tuesday night.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. Keep it up. I'm all about saving money and getting folks out of debt.
Try MyKidsEatFree.com. Great resource for kids eat free specials
ReplyDeleteEveryday after 4 TWO kids eat free with each adult at IHOP
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to organize this info! However I wanted to let you know that someone told me Little Dooey was no longer in business.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. Texas Land and Cattle Steakhouse offers "children eat free" on Saturdays from 11am-4pm.
ReplyDeleteIt's right next to BJ's at the Concord Mills area. The steaks are great! Susan Farley
