Applebee's, a division of DineEquity, offers one free kid’s meal for each adult meal ordered on Mondays. Additional children’s meals cost $1 each. Children’s plates include chicken fingers, mini cheeseburger, macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwich and for the truly decadent, an Oreo cookie shake. Applebees is a “casual dining” restaurant, so there’s no need for you or the kids to put on the dog.
