Spooky good deals for kids’ meals

Halloween usually is all about candy for trick-or treaters, but several restaurants in South Florida are giving out free and cheap meals to little ones as well.

Too Jay’s

Too Jay’s Deli, Bakery and Restaurant, with locations around Florida, has a 10-day promotion, Friday through Nov. 4: Kids 12 and younger eat free from the kids menu with the purchase of an adult entree.

Too Jay’s kids’ menu features French toast and Belgian waffles for breakfast, and hamburgers, mac and cheese, chicken strips, grilled cheese and deli dogs – plus a Too Jay’s mini black and& white cookie – for lunch and dinner. The special does not include a drink and cannot be combined with any other offers. TooJays.com
