Nothing tastes better than free! If you’re going out to eat with kids, why not go somewhere that has Kids Eat Free deals. You’ll save some money, and also feel way less frustrated if picky kids won’t eat much of their meal!
(This is the playground at Kerbey Lane in Round Rock!)
See below for all the deals arranged by day of the week. Happy saving!
