    Jasons Deli Lees Summit says that your information is completely wrong and they have never had this Daily Deal. They will not even attempt to honor anything! Extremely rude also!

    Sami,
    We are so sorry to hear this! As stated, Jason’s Deli has kids meals in various price ranges. What were they not willing to honor? Hopefully, they’ll treat you better next time. Thanks for the feedback.

    Applebee’s at Independence Mall in MO does NOT allow kids eat free.

    This is a good guide but of course I encourage everyone to call the restaurant first before expecting a deal. Just politely ask if they offer any specific discounts on kids meals, listen to the person speaking and then thank them regardless of the outcome.
    Additionally, many IHOP restaurants in Jackson County, Mo. still offer free kids meals when an adult orders an entree. The bad new is, you have to eat IHOP’s food.

    I know you didn’t list Applebee’s but up until about 4 months ago they offered kids eat free on several days of the week, including Sunday. I called today and was told they no longer offer any kids eat free days whatsoever. Bummer.
