The cost of living is ever on the rise. Scrounging enough to cover the essentials like gas and groceries leaves little leftover (pun intended!) for a night out with the family. That’s why Fort Worth Moms found restaurants in Tarrant County where kids ages 12 and younger eat free or almost free, so you can dine on a dime with peace of mind.
NOTE: Details may vary by location. Please verify the promotion with your local restaurant before visiting.
