A stricter 10-and-under limit applies at Denny’s, Cheesecake Factory, Outback Steakhouse and Pizza Hut. Children 3 and under usually eat free, as at Cicis Pizza and Fogo de Chão.

Burger King has the cheapest fixed-price kids meal at $3.99, including a burger or nuggets, fries, a drink and apple slices. McDonald’s ($3.99–$5.99) and Sonic ($3.99–$5.49) start at the same price but scale up with size and options. For casual dining, Chili’s is the best value at around $7, and free for My Chili’s Rewards members through periodic offers.
Yes. Kids menu prices vary by chain, location and the age of the child, and franchise-owned locations set their own pricing and decide whether to join national promotions. The figures on this site are national averages, so kids-eat-free days and exact prices can differ at your nearest restaurant. Always confirm locally before visiting.
Chipotle does not have a dedicated kids menu, but it offers a Kids Build Your Own option and a Kids Quesadilla that work well for children. It’s grouped with Domino’s, Little Caesars, Papa John’s and Five Guys as chains with no formal kids menu — families typically order a smaller portion or share from the regular menu instead.
A typical kids meal bundles a main, a side and a drink. Fast food versions add extras — McDonald’s Happy Meal includes a toy, Burger King’s comes with apple slices, and Sonic’s Wacky Pack includes a slush. Casual dining kids meals like Olive Garden’s pair pasta with breadsticks and a drink. Exact inclusions vary by brand and location.
