There’s nothing better than going out with the family and enjoying a meal where kids can eat for free. And with a bunch of places in South Jersey, you don’t have to travel far to find a place. From BBQ entrées at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Egg Harbor to delish Cajun specialties at Ollie Gators Pub in Berlin, there are plenty of options where kids can enjoy kid-approved entrées while parents feast on their favorites. Keep in mind that adults need to purchase an entrée (some have a minimum spend), and restaurants designate certain nights when meals are free. Scroll down for our roundup around South Jersey.
