Restaurant offers free kids’ meals on Independence Day

A restaurant chain is offering independence from paying for children to eat on July Fourth.

Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar locations owned and operated by Apple American Group will give away two free kids’ meals with each adult entree purchased for families eating at the restaurant on Independence Day in Georgia and Alabama.

“Fourth of July is all about celebrating our freedom with family and friends,” said Jennifer Rouse, regional marketing coordinator for the Apple American Group. “We look forward to serving our guests as they enjoy their holiday and a delicious meal at their local Applebee’s restaurant.”

The participating Georgia locations are in Macon, Warner Robins, Perry, Milledgeville, Dublin, Augusta, Evans, Flemington, Grovetown, Pooler and Savannah.

In Alabama, restaurants in Auburn, Phenix City and Oxford are offering the free meals.

Children 12 years old and under can choose any entree from the Applebee’s Kids’ menu and also will receive a side dish and juice or milk.
