Quaker steak and lube does $1.99 kids meals on Sundays
Thank you so much! I will add that in as soon as I can. 🙂
We just got surprised at McAlister’s in Pigeon Forge with no free kids’ meals. The lady looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if the kids’ meals were free since it’s Tuesday today. Lol
I just called the restaurant and confirmed that they do still offer free kids meals with an adult purchase after 5 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. I’m not sure what happened while you were there. 🙁
