Tri-Cities Kids Eat Free (or Cheap!)

Need a Break from the Kitchen

By Amanda Hollifield, Publisher Mom, tricities.macaronikid.com January 17, 2018
I was updating our local kids eat free (or cheap) list, and it was sad to delete so many restaurants from our list who have closed their doors the last few months or changed their options for kids eating free.   I would love your help in updating our list.  Let me know. If you are comfortable eating out (or getting it to-go) please consider ordering from some of our local restaurants and supporting them during this time (and always!). If you know of an update to the list, please message me and let me know!

We're a busy family on the go--two working parents, two Mini Macaronis with activities... some nights we just don't have time for a home-cooked meal or I need a break from the kitchen!

Thankfully there are several Tri-Cities' restaurants that offer kids meal deals with free or inexpensive kids meals. If you know one we're missing, just leave a note in the comments!  May want to call ahead to make sure the restaurant still honors their kid special.


Let them know you saw it on Macaroni Kid Tri-Cities!
