Have you ever planned to eat out and wondered whether the restaurant you were interested in visiting offers free Kid’s Meals or discounts? We’re excited to have put together The Master List of Kids Eat Free Place for the Capital District (Upstate), New York
Kids Eat Free Place – Capital District New York
Everybody’s trying to save a buck these days. But hey, sometimes you want to treat yourself to a decent meal at a restaurant.
Kids Eat Free specials have been around for years, traditionally used by sit down type restaurants to bring in customers. Lately, we are seeing more deals in some untraditional areas.
I have spent the last few days calling local restaurants for FREE and/or Inexpensive meal deals. This is the list I have started thus far. If you know of any local restaurants that participate in a program like this please let us know and I will update accordingly. As a side note, based on your regions FREE nights may vary, so please call ahead to confirm.
This list has been cultivated for Upstate New York.

I see that these comments are pretty old so I’m not sure how up to date this list is.
Hi DJ, You are correct. This list has not been maintained well. I am sorry for the outdated information. I honestly thought I pulled this page down. I am not able to keep it up to date.
Kids eat free at most Moe’s on Tuesdays with an adult meal purchase
Thanks Kim!! Will Update
