I come from a family of five kids, and my parents took advantage of every "Kids Eat Free" promotion they could find. I don't have proof, but I believe we're the real reason Ponderosa Steakhouse went out of business.
Given the cost of dining out nowadays, I thought the days of children getting free meals were long gone. But I was wrong! There are still many family-friendly restaurants around Monroe County that will gladly feed your kids for free.
I will do my best to keep this list updated, and I would love to hear from you at ShaneAllen@kw.com if you know of any "Kids Eat Free" nights that I may have missed!
