Kids Eat Free on Tuesdays at Wahoo’s

Disclosure:  Complimentary meal was received.  All opinions are honest and entirely my own.

Earlier this year, Wahoo’s Fish Taco had a grand re-opening after the restaurant underwent renovations.  We were so excited to be invited to try out their new breakfast and lunch items!  What’s great about Wahoo’s is that they really cater to families.  On Tuesdays, kids eat free off the kids’ menu with the purchase of entrees off the regular menu. 

The kids can be a tough crowd, but were soon won over by Wahoo’s delicious tacos, fries, and quesadilla.

My daughter said she liked that the quesadilla was crispy.  

I had heard all the rave reviews on the kalbi moco so I had to try it.  They were right! It’s absolutely delicious! The meat is flavorful and tender.  The best part is that it is served on fried rice. 

Their new burger was very good as well.  I liked the soft and sweet bun.  It paired well with the juicy burger and the veggie toppings and avocado were really tasty.

We also tried the Mac Nut Pancakes which was my dessert after the savory dishes.  These pancakes are HUGE and easily enough to share.  They come with your choice of maple or coconut syrup.   

Thank you so much to Wahoo's for our family's delicious meal!  We will definitely be back!

Kids Eat Free on Thursdays at Big City Diner

I think Big City Diner is one of the kid-friendliest eateries on the island.  They have a kids menu, and even offer balloons and toys for the kids.

We recently went to Big City Diner in Waipio Shopping Center because my son chose it for his birthday dinner, and he wanted a balloon!

Coincidentally, it was on a Thursday, and the server told us about the Kids Eat Free promo - 1 free kids meal with every purchase of 1 adult entree $12 and over + a beverage; dine-in only.

The Original Really Loco, Loco Moco

Chicken and Fresh Mushroom Pesto with Roasted Garlic Toast

Keiki Cheeseburger

Keiki Loco Moco

Complimentary Birthday Sundae

Big Brownie Pie

I ordered one of the specials of the week - the Chicken and Fresh Mushroom Pesto pasta, which comes with soup or salad.  I thought the pasta was a bit underseasoned.

Everyone else devoured their dishes.

The Big Brownie Pie is one of our faves.  I love the brownie by itself too - it's so thick and fudgy!

Servings are very generous and service was very friendly.  If you have kids and want a break from the kitchen, take advantage of the Kids Eat Free offer on Thursdays at Big City Diner!

Denny’s  has a great deal running through September - free pancakes for kids!

Denny’s delicious pancakes—now with 50 percent more fluffy goodness—are featured throughout the kids menu and for the first time are offered in variety of new kid-sized signature dishes, including the Jr. Cinnamon Pancakes, Jr. Strawberries & Cream Pancakes and Chocolate Chip Pancakes. Kids ages 10 and under can enjoy Denny’s pancakes in any of these dishes for free every day in September from 4-10 p.m. with the purchase of one adult entrée at participating locations.

In addition to its Free Pancakes for Kids promotion, Denny’s will also partner with No Kid Hungry® in September to raise money to help end childhood hunger. To-date, Denny’s has been able to donate more than $3.3 million to No Kid Hungry and will look to make an even great impact on the cause this year with the continued support of its team members and guests.

Our family went to the Kapolei location for the first time last last night for dinner.

French Toast Slugger

Peanut Butter Cup Pancake Breakfast

Kids Pancakes

Kids Pancakes with Side Bacon and Eggs

Kids Pizza

Kids Sweet Petite Corn

Build Your Own Jr. Sundae

I had the Peanut Butter Cup Pancake Breakfast.  Bacon, eggs, and hash browns were accompanied by two buttermilk pancakes that were filled with chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, and topped with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce.  The pancakes were delish - they tasted like a cake, and I actually ate them as my dessert!

The French Toast Slugger - French Toast, Eggs, Bacon, Hash Browns, and Coffee was just $8!

The kids enjoyed their meals (bacon and eggs can be added on for an extra charge), and they all loved creating their own Jr. Sundaes with their picks of ice cream flavors and toppings.

Service was a little on the slow side, but very friendly.

The food was satisfying, and the Free Pancakes for Kids is a great way to save money when dining out at Denny's!

Kids Eat Free at IHOP through September 25

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post.

Our family loves to eat out, but with three kids (with growing appetites), it can get really expensive, so we love finding Kids Eat Free deals.

Right now, kids 12 and under eat for free* at IHOP! 

Last week we went to the IHOP in Pearl City for an early dinner. 

I love that the kids menu not only has fun activities, but there are pictures of each menu item, making it easy for kids to figure out what they want (and also allows kids who can't read yet to pick out their meal).

Create-a-Face Pancake

Jr. Ham & Egg Melt

Funny Face Pancakes

Pancake Combo

Bacon Crusted Chicken with Potato Hash

Garlic Bread

One of my kids ordered the Funny Face pancake (they had run out of chocolate chips for the mouth, so our server offered a bowl of berries instead), another ordered the Create-a-Face Pancake, and one ordered the Jr. Ham & Egg Melt.  All of my kids ate up their meals!

I ordered the Bacon Crusted Chicken with Potato Hash.  The dish was yummy, with lots of potatoes, and the Hollandaise sauce really pulled the dish together.  It came with a piece of garlic bread that unfortunately didn't arrive until I was almost done with my meal and I was pretty full (but my one of my sons happily ate it up).

My husband ordered the Pancake Combo, which consists of 2 eggs, hash browns, 2 bacon or sausage, and 2 pancakes (he chose the New York Cheesecake pancakes).

Service at this visit was extremely slow despite only three tables occupied in the restaurant, but fortunately, our server was just the friendliest, apologizing for the wait, and thanking us for our patience.

The Kids Eat Free deal is a great one for families, so be sure to take advantage of it through September 25!

For more information on Kids Eat Free, visit www.ihop.com.

*Valid August 1 – September 25, 2016.  Receive one free kid’s entrée with the purchase of each adult entrée.  Free entrée valid for kids 12 and under on items from the “Made for Fun” kid’s menu, for a limited time at participating locations only.  Drinks not included unless otherwise specified.  Not valid with any other discounts or coupons.  Dine-in only.

Sizzler-Aiea

One of DH's co-workers just LOVES Sizzler, so for Christmas we bought her a Sizzler gift card, and we ended up getting a $5 off coupon for a visit in January, so we had to use it before the month ended.

We happened to go on a Tuesday to the Sizzler in Aiea, and Tuesdays they have a Kids Eat Free promotion!

DS2 had the Kids Chicken Strips.

He loved it. His meal came with fries, a drink, and a trip to the Sundae Bar!

Sizzler Cheese Toast.I ordered the Malibu Chicken Sandwich.
It was really good. I could only finish half of it.

DH ordered the Mushroom Swiss Cheese Teriyaki Burger.

He ate the entire thing.

The servers were friendly and the prices were reasonable, and I'm sure we'll be back, especially if the Kids Eat Free promotion continues!

Tony Roma's-Aiea

On a recent Tuesday we decided to head to Tony Roma's in Aiea to take advantage of their "Kids Eat Free on Tuesdays" promotion.

Before heading down there, we called to make sure the promotion was still valid, and we also wanted to make sure it was valid for lunch, since I know some "kids eat free" promotions are valid only for dinner or specific hours.

When DH called Tony Roma's in the morning, the person who answered sounded wasn't positive if the promotion was valid for lunch, so I decided to call again right before we were to head down there.

This time the person who answered confirmed that the promotion was still valid, and valid all day on Tuesdays.

So, we headed down to Tony Roma's and got there just after it opened at 11am--we were actually the first guests to arrive.

The complimentary bread.

DS2 had the Kids Pizza. The kids meals come with a drink, a side, and cookies!

The pizza was okay--I tasted a piece and it tasted like frozen pizza.

DS1 had the Kids Grilled Cheese.

He didn't eat that much because the bread was just too thick.

I ordered the Southwestern Chicken.

I thought the portion was rather small, but overall the chicken itself was good. It came with a side of salsa, which also tasted store-bought.

The dish comes with two sides. I ordered French Fries and Roma Tomato Pesto Salad--I swear it was like pico de gallo. I could not find any pesto in it at all!

DH ordered the Baby Back Ribs.

He really enjoyed the ribs.

He ordered it with sides of Rice Pilaf and Garlic Green Beans, but obviously he didn't get the green beans.

Since it took a while for us to get our food, he just ate the broccoli instead of asking the server for the green beans instead since we didn't want to wait even longer...

Overall, the food was okay, and although our server was friendly, we always had to flag him down whenever we wanted more water, more napkins, and even our check.

Almost every time we've gone to Tony Roma's, we've found that the service was slow, but friendly.

Even though the Kids Eat Free on Tuesdays promotion is a great deal, I just wish the service was better.

We usually have a positive experience whenever we go to Tony Roma's, and hopefully the next time we go things will be much, much better.

Birthday at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour & Restaurant

For DS2's birthday, we decided to take him to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour & Restaurant in Pearlridge Center for not only the free birthday sundae, but also because of the Kids eat Free deal: Monday-Thursday, 2 pm-8 pm. One child, 12 or younger, eats free with the purchase of one adult entree and large drink. (Child must be present, dine-in only, not valid w/ any other offer, no cash value. Check the website for more information.).

The boys shared a Grilled Cheese Sandwich, which comes with Criss-Cut Fries.

DH ordered the Kaneohe Mushroom Burger with Onion rings.

I ordered the North Shore Club with Criss-Cut Fries.

We all enjoyed our food, and soon it was time for DS2 to enjoy his Clown Sundae.

But before the server brought it out, a really loud bell was rung and several servers came by to sing Happy Birthday to DS2.

And DS1 screamed and screamed and screamed in terror!

For some reason he doesn't like the Happy Birthday song, and he usually tolerates it whenever he hears it, but when the bell was rung and the wonderful servers came by singing the song, he was terrified!

And what made it worse was several other guests were celebrating birthdays so the screaming continued!

The manager even came out to see if there was anything he could do, but we told him once the singing ended he would be fine.

And he was.

And DS2 got to enjoy his birthday sundae while sharing it with DS1.

The food was good, the free kids meal was an awesome deal, and we think DS2 enjoyed his 1st birthday at Farrell's, despite all of DS1's screaming.
