Some days there is just nothing better than a break in the daily routine by going out to eat. However when you start to total up the bill for a family to eat, it seems to get pricier every day. However, you can make those dining out experiences a bit cheaper. Ways to save include looking for restaurants that offer to let if accompanied by an adult or signing your children up for birthday or kids clubs at many of the chain restaurants. We hope to highlight some of deals because after all in this economy, anything free is a welcome bonus.

Up this time is Lone Star Steak House, a restaurant chain with about 150 locations nationally. It is your pretty typical sit down chain steak house. We've eaten there many times and always had a good experience.

Their special is that on Tuesdays, kids can eat free from the kid's menu with the purchase of an adult entree. The deal also applies on Saturdays from (11am to 4pm). On both days, the limit is two kids per adult entree.
