Kids Eat Free (or Cheap) at These 14 Central MN Restaurants
Eating out can be a pricey ordeal, especially for families with kids.
Growing up, money was tight in our house. My parents worked hard, and -- now that I'm an adult responsible for my own budget -- I understand just what a treat it was when they took the family for a meal out. Despite tight finances, some of my favorite childhood memories include food -- breakfasts with my dad at the diner before school, Sunday lunches after church at Culvers and dinners with our grandpa at the local steakhouse.
I saw a list recently of restaurants in Rochester, MN where kids can eat for free or for cheap on certain days or with certain deals. Finding inspiration, I thought it would be neat to put together a list of local restaurants around Central Minnesota that offer the same. Below are restaurants found at KidsMealDeals.com and submitted by listeners; inclusion of these restaurants does not guarantee free or discounted meals, and we suggest confirming at each restaurant for yourself.
