Here’s a list of area restaurants that offer free meals to kids. Leave a comment if you’d like to add a restaurant (or update information).
I recommend calling a venue ahead of time to confirm that their program is still in effect for the day you’d like to dine. I’ve also indicated with an asterisk where we’re not sure if the program is still in place.

Halfway Cafe is Mon & Tue after 4pm. It’s a little bit of a haul from Worcester but worth the drive every once in a while. Wish they’d open one closer. Love that place! http://www.thehalfwaycafe.com/
Uno’s does Tuesdays. http://www.unos.com/
Not sure if these are still current but 5 & Diner (http://www.lpm5anddiner.com) used to be kids eat free on Mondays. And at one point I know Denny’s (http://www.dennys.com) was every day from 4-10pm.
Kids eat free at Unos Mon-Fri 8/20 – 8/24 & 8/27 – 8/31. Or a $5 off $15 coupon.
