As students in Dallas-Fort Worth prepare to go back to school, restaurants are preparing free lunches for their young customers.
"We believe the best source of power for your child's brain is a good meal," says Blythe Grates, Firebird Restaurant Group Senior Marketing Director. A host of restaurants are handing out free meals to kids.
Restaurants offering freebies to D-FW kids in August 2019:
Snuffer's Restaurant & Bar, known for its burgers and cheddar fries, is offering free meals for kids from Aug. 1 through Aug. 18. Adults are required to purchase one entree and need to show a free kids' meal coupon. Snuffer's operates nine restaurants in North Texas; find one here.
Bonus from Snuffer's: After the free kids meal deals end on Aug. 18, the restaurant will hand out plates of free small cheddar fries on Aug. 19 in honor of National Potato Day. (You don't even have to be a kid!) Find the coupon online before Aug. 19.
