It's always a WIN when kids eat free, especially with so many San Diego County restaurants offering great deals throughout the week! Here’s a breakdown of where to go each day to make family dining affordable and fun. Please note that this list is current as of October 2024, many of these offers are dine-in only, and most require that the child is present to receive the free meal. Free ages are typically 10 and under, though some may allow 12 and under! Please contact your local restaurants to confirm before you go!
