Kids Eat Free Seacoast! Your Guide to Affordable Eating With Your Kids

I can’t think of a parent on this planet who doesn’t love saving money, especially when it comes to eating out. Which is why I hounded the seacoast’s restaurant scene and local mom’s groups to find ways that as a family of five, we could enjoy a meal out…without breaking the bank. I know that I’m not alone in quests like this. So, after discovering this surprisingly-lengthy list, I knew I just had to share it with our SMB community.

Broken down by day, I give you our guide to affordable and kid-friendly dining in the seacoast. Please keep in mind that most restaurants expect the purchase of at least one adult entree to validate these discounts and nearly all establishments cap their kids menu at 12 years old. In addition, I always recommend calling the restaurant before arriving to confirm that they are still participating in these specials.
