Kids Eat Free Restaurants in Lee & Collier Counties

With two picky eaters, we are all about visiting restaurants that are kid-friendly and offer "Kids Eat Free Options" or offer some sort of deal. Otherwise, $5+ per kids meal, per kid, quickly adds up. Not to mention that it's wasteful, when they only eat a few bites to begin with.

Fortunately, since moving down to Southwest Florida there is a plethora of kids eat free options in the area for every day of the week. Below is a calendar listing of the places we've found in Estero, Naples, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral and Fort Myers.
