One of my favorite family activities is to go out for a meal. I love it. Yes, I do have to tell my kids to settle down from time to time, but that does not sour the experience for me. What does put a bad taste in my mouth is how expensive it can get, especially when most of the time my kids don't even finish their meals. That's why I got so excited when I came across a list of places where kids eat free. Score!

Now don't go getting all whackadoodle and thinking you can show up with 20 kids to feed for free, there are of course restrictions and you will have to check with your local restaurant to see how your kid can get a free lunch.
