Full deal terms and grown-up perks in the app
A friday dinner in Chicago used to mean leftovers or takeaway. Kids eat free nights flip that — one adult main, and the kids eat free, at pubs, bistros and family restaurants across town.
We frequently check in with venues to make sure deals are valid so look for a green tick or verified badge below and in the app. With Kids Eat Free Club you'll also find our exclusive 'Hot Deals' offering you the biggest savings at restaurants.
KIDS
KIDSFriday nights used to be the leftover-night of the week. Not anymore — 11 restaurants in Chicago currently run kids eat free on fridays. Pubs, casual dining and family bistros all use quieter fridays to fill tables, and a free kids meal is the offer that gets families through the door.
Most deals are one free kids meal with every adult main, usually for children 12 and under. Grown-up extras (a free drink, a free entree, or a slice off the bill) live in the app alongside each venue.

Most friday deals in Chicago are dine-in only, with one free kids meal per paying adult. Age limits are usually 12 and under, though some venues cap it at 10 and a few go to 14.
Times vary — some kick off from 5pm, others run all day. If a venue has a play area or kids amenities, we note that in the app after we've asked. Exclusive Hot Deals (the biggest savings we negotiate) sit alongside the regular friday list once you're in the app.
We currently list 11 Chicago venues with an active kids eat free deal on fridays. The list on this page is a sample — open the Kids Eat Free Club app to filter the full set by suburb, cuisine and time.
It depends on the venue. Some Chicago restaurants run kids eat free all day on fridays; others start from late afternoon. Each listing in the app includes hours and any cut-off time so you're not turning up after the kitchen has switched the deal off.
Some Chicago venues take walk-ins, some prefer a booking (especially popular fridays), and a few ask you to mention the deal when you sit down. We spell that out per restaurant in the app.
