Kid Friendly/Eat Free   


Moe’s Southwest Grill — Riverhead

On Tuesdays, kids 12 and younger can enjoy a FREE kids' meal with the purchase of an adult meal all day in the dining room. Tacos, burritos, and quesadillas are on the menu. 


IHOP – Riverhead

Throughout the year, IHOP usually has a kids-eat-free promotion. The deal at participating restaurants is that kids eat FREE every day from 4pm-9pm or 10p with the purchase of an adult meal. Call your local IHOP before going to ensure they are participating in the nationwide promotion. 


The Village Idiot Pub —Riverhead, Lake Grove, Oakdale, Patchogue

At this popular sports bar now in Riverhead (On Golf Course) and near the Smithaven Mall in Lake Grove, kids 12 and younger eat FREE on various days during the week from 3-7pm with the purchase of an adult entree. The menu boasts dishes with fresh ingredients from local producers. Check the weekly special page to make sure it's offered when you plan on dining. The Oakdale location offers the promotion on select Mondays. Again, check the weekly specials to ensure it's being offered that week.


 Applebee's-Riverhead

Because these are franchises, each Applebee's location has a different policy on kids eat free. But, many of them offer deals on Monday or Tuesday nights. Call your location to find out if they have a kids eat free or other deal for eatin' good in the neighborhood.


Friendly's-Riverhead

This friendly east coast chain serves up American food, ice cream, and lots of memories for families. Plus, kids eat free every Wednesday in many locations. Call to check before you commit!


TGI Fridays-Riverhead

Several TGI Fridays locations have announced Kids Eat Free Tuesdays on their Facebook pages, but not all have a clear end date to the promotion. Kids can top off their meals with an appetizing cup of dirt dessert!
