IHOP has reintroduced its Kids Eat Free deal, allowing children under 12 to receive a free kids' menu item when an adult purchases a full-priced entrée. This family-friendly promotion is active daily from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time and will conclude on December 21. As part of the offer, young diners will receive a new activity sheet with games and characters.
This initiative arrives shortly after IHOP launched its value menu, featuring options starting at $6. This everyday menu aims to make dining more affordable, with items like combos, scrambles, and omelets. IHOP leadership stated the value menu is a direct response to customer demand for affordability without compromising on taste or variety.
The expanded kids' menu includes several new items such as a Jr. Waffle, a custom-decorated Happy Face Pancake, and a Jr. Protein Pancake. Other new additions feature French toast sticks, a Jr. Cheeseburger, Kraft Mac & Cheese, and Jr. Chicken Strips, alongside updated side options.
