It's one thing to hear that "plenty of places do kids eat free on thursdays". It's another to know which Chicago restaurants are actually running it this week. We call venues, check the details, and keep this list current so you're not relying on a Facebook post from 2019.
Most families save between $15 and $35 with kids eat free deals, and many families save hundreds of dollars each month — but only if you turn up on the right night. Filter by day in the Kids Eat Free Club app to see the rest of the week too.

Most thursday 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 thursday list once you're in the app.
We currently list 15 Chicago venues with an active kids eat free deal on thursdays. 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 thursdays; 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 thursdays), and a few ask you to mention the deal when you sit down. We spell that out per restaurant in the app.
