Kids eat free in Illinois: what to expect
Illinois has 529 kids meal deals across 529 restaurants in our directory. Tuesday is the busiest night, with 216 deals, followed by Sunday.
529 of the 529 deals are dine-in only, so plan on sitting down rather than ordering to go.
Good to know before you go
- Do I have to buy an adult meal?
- Almost always. "Kids eat free" nearly always means one free kids meal per paying adult entrée, and some restaurants set a minimum adult spend. Each listing shows the purchase requirement when the restaurant has one.
- What counts as a kid?
- It varies by restaurant. Twelve and under is the most common cutoff, but some stop at 10 and a few go to 14. When the limit is listed we show it on the deal; when it is not, assume the restaurant's kids menu age applies.
- Should I call ahead?
- Yes, especially for a special trip. Deals change, locations opt out, and holidays are often excluded. A 30-second call saves a disappointed table. If a deal has changed, tap "Not anymore" on the listing so other families know.
