Kids Eat Free

Fairfax – Centreville – Chantilly

 

What this Internet needs is a good web site where you can locate restaurants that offer free or cheap kids' meals.  Unfortunately, we don't have one.  A couple of sites have tried, but those sites aren't well maintained or particularly thorough.  So I've started my own, primarily covering my home turf of Fairfax, Centreville, and Chantilly, Virginia, and branching out into neighboring communities.

 

Got any additions, corrections, or further info?  E-mail them to carl at bigfool dot com (and please put "Kids Eat Free" in your subject line).

·        Joe's Crab Shack, 12831 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax.  $2, plus free ice cream if you're wearing a Joe's T-shirt, according to an e-mail I received on July 1.  Indoor playground.

·        Moe's, 5005 Westone Plaza, Suite A, Chantilly.

·        Pacino Ristorante, 5653 Stone Road, Centreville.  We got their take-out menu in the mail, and it has a coupon for KEF Tuesday.  You may be able to snag more menus/coupons at their register so as to make this a fairly reliable deal.

·        Silver Diner, 12250 Fair Lakes Pkwy, Fairfax.  Free kids' milkshakes; if you get a coupon for a free meal from their kids' club, it's good Tuesdays only. (The "free meal for your birthday" coupon is good any time, however.)

·        Texas Road House, 4993 Westone Plaza, Chantilly.  When you buy a kid's meal, you get a token good for a free kid's meal on your next visit, so it's basically a free one every other time you go.

 

Wednesday

·        California Tortilla, 12239 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax.

·        Los Toltecos, locations in Fairfax Station, Sterling, and Winchester.  The menu on their web site says KEF Wednesdays, but when we went to the Sterling restaurant on a Sunday, we saw no mention thereof.  If anyone can confirm or deny, please send an e-mail.
