TEXAS ROADHOUSE

They are always a family friendly option but once a month some have a Kids Night with special activities and promos that make it even better! If you’ve got younger kids, take advantage of the fun and discounts you’ll get in addition to a good meal.

  • Glendale Location: Their Kids Night is the 1st Wed. of the month from 3-10 pm. There is free facepainting and participants get a coupon for a free kids meal to use at a later date. The restaurant is tucked behind and to the left of the Tanger Outlets.
  • Surprise Location: Their Kids Night is the 1st Mon. of the month from 4-8 pm. They offer special Kids Meal Menu pricing, have a face painter, and do a little craft out on the patio (It's a great way for kids to pass the time while waiting for your table!). If you don’t want to do the craft there, you are able to take the kit home. They are by the Trader Joes on the 60.
  • Peoria Location: They currently do not have a Kids Night but they are looking into it.
