Where Kids Eat Free in Orlando
A Deal for Every Day of the Week

Jaleo by José Andrés

Kids Eat Free Mon–Thu · Through September 3, 2026

Read that again: kids eat free at a José Andrés restaurant inside Disney Springs. Monday through Thursday from June 16 through September 3, 2026, each paying adult spending $30 or more gets one kids' meal free — and these are $14 meals that include grilled flat iron steak, seared salmon and a smashburger, not just nuggets. Weekends excluded, can't combine with other offers, and adult entrées clear the $30 bar easily. Stated on Jaleo's own site and Disney Springs' official page. Free parking at Disney Springs seals it.

BurgerFi

Kids Eat Free Monday Family Night

Monday is family night at Central Florida BurgerFi locations: a free kids' meal with purchase, confirmed on the brand's own social this summer. All-natural angus burgers for the grown-ups, and the kids' meal comes with fries and a drink. Participation is by location, so glance at your nearest store's page before loading the car.

TJ's Seafood Shack

Kids Eat Free Mondays — the Local Pick

The east-side local option: this family seafood shack on East Colonial states it right on their own website — kids eat free Monday with an adult entrée. Fish tacos and seafood platters for the adults, and the kind of non-chain Monday deal that most kids-eat-free lists never find.

4 Rivers Smokehouse

Free Lil' Bites Meal Mondays

Orlando's homegrown barbecue empire — Southern Living's Best BBQ in the Southeast — runs Kids Eat Free Mondays: one free Lil' Bites meal (brisket, pork or chicken slider, nuggets or a hot dog, with a side, cookie and drink) per adult entrée, kids 12 and under, dine-in only. Reported consistently across Central Florida parenting guides this year; confirm your location participates.

Sonny's BBQ

Kids Eat Free Tuesdays & Thursdays, 3–7pm

The Florida barbecue institution (smokin' since 1968) feeds kids free twice a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 7pm with an adult purchase. Pulled pork, ribs and sweet tea for the table, and enough Central Florida locations that one is almost certainly near you. Hours window is the catch — arrive before 7.

Gator's Dockside

Family Fun Night — Kids Free 5:30–8:30pm

Tuesday is Family Fun Night at participating Gator's Dockside locations: kids eat free from 5:30 to 8:30pm with a paying adult — wings, mac and cheese, tenders, pasta, cheese pizza or mini burgers off the kids' menu, plus a designated family zone with games. Participating spots include Baldwin Park, SODO, Hunter's Creek and Waterford Lakes; check yours.

Miller's Ale House

One Free Kids' Meal with $10 Purchase

The Florida-born sports grill runs kids-eat-free Tuesdays: one free kids' meal (12 and under) with a $10-plus food purchase, limit two per table, dine-in only. Zingers for the adults, and TVs enough to keep everyone entertained on a school night.

Bob Evans

Free Kids' Meal Tuesdays — App Only

The farmhouse chain's Tuesday deal comes with a gotcha worth knowing before you order: the free kids' meal with an adult entrée is only valid on orders placed through the Bob Evans app — walk-in orders don't count. Max three kids' meals per three entrées. Download the app in the parking lot and you're fine.

Fazoli's (E Colonial)

$0.99 Kids' Meals Tuesdays

Not free, but 99 cents is close enough to earn a spot: the East Colonial Fazoli's does kids' pasta or pizza for $0.99 with a regular entrée purchase on Tuesdays — and the unlimited breadsticks come regardless. Ninety-percent of a free meal at a fraction of the fuss.

Pig Floyd's Urban Barbakoa

Kids Eat Free Wednesdays from 5pm

Mills 50's beloved fire-and-smoke barbakoa — where Latin and Caribbean flavors meet a Texas pit — feeds kids free every Wednesday starting at 5pm. It's the coolest kids-eat-free room in Orlando, and it sits one block from the Mills 50 spots on our Orlando cheap-eats list, so the adults are covered either way.

NYPD Pizza

Kids Night — Free Personal Pizza + Make-Your-Own

Wednesday is Kids Night at NYPD Pizza locations: kids 12 and under get a free personal 10-inch pizza or pasta with a $10 adult purchase — and they get to make their own pizza, which buys parents twenty minutes of peace. One free kid per qualifying adult purchase.

Smashburger

Kids Eat Free Wednesdays

Free kids' meal every Wednesday with the purchase of an adult meal (entrée, side and drink) at participating locations — smashed-to-order burgers, tots and shakes. Quick, cheap, done.

Sonny's BBQ (Again!)

Kids Eat Free Thursdays, 3–7pm

Sonny's runs its kids-eat-free window twice a week, and Thursday is the second helping: kids eat free from 3 to 7pm with an adult purchase, same deal as Tuesday. If the week's gotten long, barbecue and a free kids' plate is a strong way to limp into Friday. Full details under Tuesday above.

No Friday-only deals confirmed — but Orlando's daily plays don't take weekends off: Brother Jimmy's at ICON Park feeds kids 10 & under free every day, Fogo de Chão seats 6-and-unders free, and Melao's $3.95 kids' breakfast runs daily — all in the Every Day section below. Know a Friday spot? Hit ⚡ Flag / Add a Deal above.

Saturday is the thinnest kids-eat-free day everywhere, Orlando included — lean on the Every Day deals below (Brother Jimmy's, Fogo de Chão, Melao), or make it a cheap family night instead: two adults eat under $20 all over town on our Orlando cheap-eats list, and kids' meals at those spots run $4–7.

Moe's Southwest Grill

Kids Eat Free Sundays

Welcome to Moe's — and to free kids' meals every Sunday: a kid-sized burrito, quesadilla or taco with a cookie and drink, free with an adult entrée, at more than ten Central Florida locations. The classic end-of-weekend reset.

Firehouse Subs

Up to 2 Free Kids' Combos Sundays

Most Firehouse locations run all-day-Sunday kids deals: up to two free kids' combos with the purchase of one medium or large combo. Deals vary shop to shop — the classic participation caveat applies double here.

Dickey's Barbecue Pit

Kids Eat Free Sundays ($12 Minimum)

Free kids' meal every Sunday with a $12 minimum purchase at the Orlando and Lake Nona locations — a low-effort barbecue Sunday when the smoker itch strikes and Sonny's feels far.

Beef O'Brady's

$1.99 Kids' Combos All Day Sunday

Not free but firmly in the spirit: kids' combos — meal, side, drink and a treat — for $1.99 all day Sunday, dine-in with an adult entrée, at participating locations.

Brother Jimmy's BBQ (ICON Park)

Kids 10 & Under Eat Free — Every Single Day

The tourist-corridor anchor: Brother Jimmy's slow-smoked North Carolina barbecue at ICON Park feeds kids 10 and under free every day with an adult purchase — stated right on their own homepage. Staying on I-Drive? This is walkable from a dozen hotels, sits under the Orlando Eye, and it works on the Friday and Saturday nights when every other deal on this page is dark. Note the age limit: 10, not the 12 most lists claim.

Fogo de Chão (I-Drive)

Kids 6 & Under Free · 7–12 Half Price · Daily

The Brazilian steakhouse's national policy is the quiet hero of family fine dining: children 6 and under dine free every day, and ages 7 to 12 are half price. The I-Drive churrascaria makes a legitimately special family night where the youngest eat free — confirm the location's participation when you book.

Melao Bakery

$3.95 Kids' Breakfast — the Cheapest Kids' Meal in Orlando

Not free, but the cheapest verified kids' meal in the city: Melao's own menu prices the kids' breakfast at $3.95 and the full kids' menu at $3.95–4.95, daily from 6am — while the adults eat $8.95 tripletas and $1.37 café con leche. The whole family eats Puerto Rican for about what two theme-park churros cost.

Chili's

Free Kids' Meal Rewards for Members

My Chili's Rewards members receive free kids' meal rewards — a free Pepper Pals meal (12 and under) with a regular entrée purchase. With 20 Orlando-area locations including International Drive, there's always one close; the rewards signup is free and takes a minute.

Denny's

Kids Eat Free Nights — Days Vary

Denny's runs rewards-based kids-eat-free nights that vary by location — commonly Tuesdays 4–10pm, with two free kids' entrées per $6-plus adult entrée, dine-in. Because every location sets its own night, this one is strictly call-first.
