While millions of Americans enjoy the long holiday weekend, participating Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar restaurants across Western New York will be hard at work.

On Monday, parents can bring kids ages 10 and under into Applebee’s to enjoy a free meal.

On Labor Day only, kids can choose one free entrée from the following options on the Kids Menu: chicken fingers, mini cheeseburger, grilled cheese sandwich, macaroni and cheese, fried shrimp and hot dog. The meal also includes a choice of side dish and soft drink or juice.

“Labor Day is a time when families and friends get together to celebrate a well-earned day off and the unofficial end of summ e r, ” said Stephanie Griffin, director of marketing and public relations, T.L. Cannon Companies. “For all of us at Applebee’s, we wanted to honor those who work hard every day by offering an opportunity to kick-back, enjoy a great meal and save.”

To take advantage of the Kids Eat Free event, customers must dine in and children should be 10 and under and accompanied by an adult. Each party will receive two free kids meals per adult entrée purchase.

The Kids Eat Free on Labor Day special offer is valid at Applebee’s restaurants across upstate New York and Connecticut, including the ones in Cheektowaga, Lancaster and West Seneca.
