Modesto families looking to trim summertime meal costs can take advantage of several kids-eat-free offers at national chain restaurants with locations in the area. Each promotion has specific rules and eligibility requirements, so residents should confirm participation and any app or rewards enrollment before visiting.
What changes for residents
Some restaurants require membership in a rewards program or app to receive the free meal offer, while others require the purchase of an adult entrée. Participating locations vary, and not every restaurant in the region will honor the promotion.
"Dining out with the family can get expensive."
Key offers available in and around Modesto include:
- Habit Burger & Grill: For a limited time, CharClub rewards members can get one free Kids Favorite Meal with a purchase of $10 or more. The offer appears in My Offers wallets every Monday and is redeemable once per week.
- Chili’s Grill & Bar: Members of My Chili’s Rewards can get a free kids meal from the Pepper Pals menu for children 12 and younger with the purchase of a regular-priced adult meal at participating locations. Availability varies by restaurant.
- Denny’s: At participating Denny’s restaurants, children can eat free every Tuesday.
