With tightening family budgets, eating out has become a luxury that many families struggle to afford.
Some restaurants in Alabama understand that families still want to enjoy a meal out on occasion and offer a Kids Eat Free special to make a meal out more affordable.
There are also some restaurants that offer 99 cent kid's meals on specific nights.
Most often the restaurants require an adult meal purchase to qualify for the free kid's meals.
Some restaurants allow two children to eat free with each qualifying adult meal purchase.
I have compiled a list of several Alabama restaurants offering a Kids Eat Free special or reduced price kid's meal.
These specials were verified in October 2008 but it is always a good idea to call and be sure the specials are still in effect.
They are subject to change or end at any time.
All Lone Star Steakhouse restaurants offer a Kids Eat Free special on Tuesdays.
They allow two kids to eat free with each paying adult.
Most Piccadilly restaurants have 99 cent kid's meals on Thursdays and Saturday mornings.
Fazoli's locations offer 99 cent kid's meals on Tuesdays from 5 pm - 8 pm.
Also try Denny's restaurants which usually have a Kids Eat Free special on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Most Applebee's locations have a special on Wednesdays after 5 pm.
Here are some other locations to try while in Alabama: Daphne: Beef O'Brady's (Tuesdays from 4 pm to 8 pm) Huntsville: Moe's Southwest Grill's and Swamp John's both have specials on Tuesdays.
Madison: Buffalo's Café (Sunday- 99 cents), Chick-Fil-A (Tuesday night), Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant (Sunday) Mobile: Beef O' Brady's (Tuesdays from 4 pm - 8 pm)
