We could all use a little 'free' in our daily lives. Why not try one of these local restaurants in the DC metro area that are offering a kids eat free program? Generally you have to purchase an adult entree in order to qualify. Our Kids also has our Cheap Eats & Family Friendly Restaurants Guide. That guide lists restaurants that offer low-cost kids meals and are family-friendly.

Please call the restaurant location before going to ensure that their program is still valid.
