April 01, 2026

The delicious variety of both savory and sweet menu options, the excitement of limited-time specials, and the opportunity for customization are just a few of the reasons that hungry diners look forward to ordering from their local Freddy’s. Plus, to make the dining experience even more special for our younger guests, we also offer three different Kids Meals. Keep reading to learn more about what makes Freddy’s Kids Meals stand out!

 

3 Reasons to Love Freddy’s Kids Meals

 

As highlighted at GrubHub, having menu items that are designed especially for kids makes it easier to find kid-friendly food and order it quickly. While many offerings at Freddy’s are available to guests of all ages, the three Kids Meals are specifically for guests 12 and under. Each meal features a main, a drink, a side and a sweet frozen custard treat! As with other Combo Meals like the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich Combo, kids can choose the toppings and/or sauces for the main dish, as well as their side, drink and treat. Here are 3 more reasons to order the Kids Meals at the Freddy’s near you:

 

1. Three Different Main Dish Options

 

One common mealtime challenge is finding a single meal that everyone is excited to eat on any particular day. Fortunately, the Kids Meals at Freddy’s offer a choice of three main dishes that tend to be very popular with kids. Kids can choose a meal that features a steakburger with or without cheese, an all-beef hot dog, or two crispy chicken tenders. Then, they can select the perfect dipping sauces for their Kid’s Tender Combo like barbecue sauce or ranch. They might also opt to swap the ketchup and pickles that are the standard options for the Kid’s Steakburger Combo for other toppings like fresh lettuce or honey mustard. If a toasted bun isn’t something they want with the hot dog in the Kid’s Hot Dog Combo, then they can choose to omit that too! In short, kids can pick their favorite main from three different meal options and customize it to their preferences.

 

2. Choice of Sides and Drinks

 

Some kids like eating the same foods every day, while others are open to trying anything. As with the main dishes in our Kids Meals, our younger guests also have choices when it comes to their sides and drinks. Drink options include a variety of soft drinks, apple juice or regular or chocolate milk. For the sides, Kids Meals can come with Freddy’s Kettle Chips, Mott’s® Natural Applesauce, Kids Fries or Kids Tots!

 

3. Custard Treats – Now Included!

 

Originally, our Kids Meals came with an entertainment component, such as an interactive toy. However, based on guest feedback, we’ve updated our offerings to include a special frozen custard treat instead. Therefore, guests will now see a Small Custard Scoop as part of the Kids Meals. Guests will also have to choose between two different Small Custard Scoop options: one that features our rich chocolate frozen custard with chocolate chips and the other that comes with our creamy vanilla custard and colorful sprinkles!
