There must be some kind of psychological trick where food just tastes better when its FREE (or at least discounted) —it's even that much better when you've saved the money on picky kids! So in that spirit, we've rounded up our fave Atlanta restaurants where kids eat free.

Before dining out, call the restaurant as specials can vary by location, especially franchises. Most require dine-in service and the purchase of an adult entrée. Friendly reminder: Since labor shortages have hit the restaurant industry hard, base tips on the original total, not the discounted amount. 

Looking for more budget-friendly things to do? Check out our list of Free Museum Days in Atlanta to Explore Your World and Atlanta Attractions that Offer Free Admission for Kids. To get more free fun at home and in your town delivered to your inbox, sign up for our newsletters and discover all the free events and activities near you in our Atlanta Free Things To Do With Kids Guide.
