Steak and Shake, kids eat free on weekends
FYI I just went to Applebees on Carpenter and was told kids do not eat free 🙁
Thanks. I’ll check with all the locations to see what the new promotion is. On Facebook, they last posted about Kids Eat Free on 9/26.
Hi! I ate at Pretzel Bell a few weeks ago (early April, 2018) with my two children and they only allowed one child’s meal per adult adult entree purchased.
Thanks. They must have changed the promotion. I will update the list.
Buffalo Wild Wings has $2 (I believe) kids meals on Wednesdays.
Thanks. I called all 3 A2/Ypsi BWW and added their details. They each have a different price – and State St offers it on Wednesday and Sunday, the others just on Wednesday.
Thanks. I called all 3 local BWW and added the details.
Kids eat free on Wednesdays at Jolly Pumpkin Kitchen in Dexter with the purchase of an adult sandwich or pizza.
Thank you. I have added it
Aubree’s Dexter said they are not participating in the kids eat free Tuesday
Thanks for the update. The main Aubrees page shared Kids Eat Free on Tuesday again today. It does say at participating locations but doesn’t exclude anyone. I’ll update the text to exclude them.
