A good friend visited recently from Southern California and after a fun time in Old Sacramento with our kids, we decided to hop over to Denny’s instead of going home to cook. Luckily it was Kids Eat Free Day and we only had to pay for the two of us “grown-ups”! It got me thinking that I should start working on a list of all the restaurants in Sacramento that offer Kids Eat Free Days.
Whether you want to go out because you do not feel like cooking or simply to have fun…it sure makes it more affordable to go out as a family! I have called each place on the list to verify the information but it’s always a good idea to call before going to double check. Most of the restaurants offer one Kid’s Meal per Adult Meal.
Now I’m hungry! Hmmmm…which one will I try first? I hope you find a restaurant on the list that you’d like to take your kids to. Bon apetit!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
