The Best Kids Eat Free Deals in OKC Right Now

If you have got kids and a budget, Tuesday night in Oklahoma City is basically a goldmine. But so is Monday. And Wednesday. And honestly Sunday too, if you know where to look. The OKC metro has a surprisingly strong kids eat free scene, spread across local favorites and family-friendly chains that have made a point of welcoming families with real savings — not just a discounted side of fries.

Here is our current roundup of the best verified deals, organized by day so you can plan ahead. Every restaurant listed here has been verified by our team.

Every Day of the Week

A handful of restaurants in OKC run kids deals every single day, which makes them perfect for spontaneous weeknight dinners or weekend lunches.

IHOP offers kids 12 and under a free meal from their Just Kids menu from 4pm to 10pm daily with an adult meal purchase. This is one of the most flexible deals in the city given that it runs every day of the week. Confirm with your local IHOP that they participate, as it varies by location.

Golden Corral on W Memorial Rd lets kids 3 and under eat free from the buffet every day with the purchase of an adult buffet. For families with toddlers and younger kids, this is an excellent option. The variety of the buffet means even the pickiest eaters find something they like.

Monday: The Hidden Gem Night

Monday is underrated for family dining in OKC. Several of the city's best local restaurants run their kids eat free nights on Monday, and because it is not as popular as Tuesday or Wednesday, you will generally get faster service and shorter waits.

Ted's Café Escondido is arguably OKC's most beloved homegrown Mexican restaurant chain, and they run a kids eat free promotion every Monday with adult entrée purchase. They have multiple locations across the metro including NW 68th, South OKC, West OKC near the outlet mall, and Norman. Fresh tortillas, strong margaritas for the grown-ups, and a family-friendly atmosphere make this one of our top picks for Monday nights.

Cowboy Chicken does kids eat free on Mondays after 4pm, with a limit of 4 free kids meals per transaction and a purchase of an adult meal required. Their wood-fired rotisserie chicken is legitimately good food and the portions are generous.

The Lokal has three metro locations in Yukon, Mustang, and Norman and runs kids eat free every Monday with adult entrée purchase. Great burgers, a neighborhood bar feel, and genuinely family-friendly.

Cocina de Mino on NW 23rd has been serving OKC families since 1982 and offers kids eat free every Monday. Come say hi to Mr. Toucan while you are there.

Tuesday is the traditional kids eat free night in restaurant culture, and OKC has a solid lineup to choose from.

Earl's Rib Palace is an OKC BBQ institution with multiple metro locations including Western Ave, Memorial Road, Edmond, and Yukon. Kids eat free every Tuesday with adult meal purchase, dine-in only. The ribs are the real deal.

Jimmy's Round-Up Cafe on N May Ave is a classic OKC diner known for homestyle cooking and incredible fried pies. Free kids meal every Tuesday with any regular-priced adult entrée. Dine-in only. If you have not been, this is the kind of place that makes you proud to be from OKC.

Main Event combines entertainment and dining, making it a great option when you want the kids to burn some energy before or after eating. Kids under 12 eat free all day Tuesday with a menu purchase of $11.99 or more.

Wednesday is when Louie's Grill and Bar shines. With 8 OKC metro locations, kids eat free every Wednesday with adult entrée purchase. Whether you are in Edmond, Moore, Norman, Midwest City, Yukon, or anywhere in between, there is probably a Louie's within a reasonable drive.
