Applebee’s Kids Menu Prices 2026
Every Applebee’s kids menu item for 2026 — all 9 options are a flat $7.49 at every market checked, plus what’s real (and what isn’t) about Applebee’s Kids Eat Free promotions.
Applebee’s kids menu prices for 2026 are the simplest on the entire menu: all 9 items are a flat $7.49, with zero price difference between Fort Worth, Orlando and Columbus — the only category on the whole Applebee’s menu where every item costs exactly the same at every store checked. Applebee’s also periodically runs Kids Eat Free promotions tied to specific holidays, but these are occasional and location-limited, not a standing everyday offer — see the section below before assuming one is running today. For the full menu, see our complete Applebee’s Menu Prices guide.
“Kids Eat Free” Deals — What’s Actually Real
A meaningful share of Applebee’s kids menu searches are looking for Kids Eat Free — but this isn’t a standing, everyday, nationwide program. Applebee’s own specials page currently online at applebees.com/en/specials/kids-eat-free is live but shows an old, expired promotional window rather than a current offer, which tells us it isn’t being actively refreshed as a permanent deal.
What is real: Applebee’s has run genuine Kids Eat Free promotions tied to specific holidays in recent years — most recently confirmed for Halloween 2025 (one free kids meal with each adult entrée, children 12 and under, each meal including a side and drink), and past years have also seen Easter and Fourth of July versions. Every one of these was explicitly limited to “participating Applebee’s locations owned by Flynn Group,” the largest Applebee’s franchisee — not every Applebee’s restaurant nationwide. There’s no confirmed evidence of a weekly “Kids Eat Free Tuesday”-style standing program.
Bottom line: if you’re looking for Applebee’s Kids Eat Free, check applebees.com/en/offers or call your local restaurant close to a major holiday, rather than assuming it’s available on any given day — and don’t expect it at a non-Flynn-Group-owned location even when it is running elsewhere.

Does Applebee’s have Kids Eat Free?
Not as a standing, everyday program. Applebee’s has run real Kids Eat Free promotions tied to specific holidays (most recently Halloween 2025), but only at Flynn Group-owned locations, and Applebee’s own specials page currently shows an expired promotional window rather than a live current offer.

What comes with an Applebee’s kids meal?
This guide’s data covers the entree price only. Applebee’s Halloween 2025 Kids Eat Free promotion described each kids meal as including a side and a drink, which is consistent with standard kids-meal bundling — confirm exact inclusions with your local restaurant.
Our Methodology
All Applebee’s kids menu prices and calories above were captured directly from each restaurant’s live official online-ordering menu at applebees.com, not from a delivery app or a national price sheet, at three markets — Fort Worth TX, Orlando FL and Columbus OH — as of 1 Sep 2026, the same three-city dataset used across this entire cluster. No price was estimated, averaged or invented.
The Kids Eat Free section above is based on Applebee’s own live specials page (showing an expired promotional window, not a current one) plus recent news coverage of holiday-specific Flynn-Group-location promotions. No current, nationwide Kids Eat Free schedule is claimed here because none was found to exist as of 1 Sep 2026 — this section will be updated if Applebee’s publishes a current, standing program.
