Let Someone Else Cook Tonight (and the Kids Eat Free!)

It’s Tuesday night.

As you pick up one child from school and hurry the second to gymnastics, you realize you forgot something important: dinner.

Your home fridge contains two apples, half a gallon of milk, and enough leftovers for maybe one person.

No matter how you do the culinary calculations, none add to a family dinner.

Should you order pizza? It’s a viable option, but this assumes everyone wants pizza. 

Sit-down restaurants provide the best variety- but how can you make it affordable?

Enter: kids eat free deals. These dine-in options offer tasty kids’ meals for free or cheap.

Read on for the best deals in Kalamazoo and the top-voted kids’ menus in town.
