KidsEatFree is an iPhone/iPod Touch app created by YOUniversal Ideas to collate restaurants and other eateries in the USA offering “Kids Eat Free” times.

Their list is quoted to include:

[...] over 8,000 United States locations and counting including dozens of popular national chains.

KidsEatFree encourages you to help update the list constantly by reporting any changes to entries and submitting new entries if you find a place with a “children eat free” period that isn’t already listed.

You can let the app use your current location as a base for searching, or search manually using a city name or zip code.

See the results of your search on a handy map to help you choose where to eat

Once you’ve found a place that looks likely you can see a map of how to get there, add it to the address book, or even automatically email yourself about the location.

This looks like a great way to find child-friendly eating venues too, as anywhere offering free meals to kids at certain times is likely to have facilities for children and be generally accepting of kids even outside those times.

Have you tried KidsEatFree, and does it show your local eateries?
