Labor Day Break for Working Parents

While millions of Americans enjoy the long Labor Day holiday weekend and celebrate a well-earned day off, participating Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar restaurants in Nassau and Suffolk counties, including Applebee's in Bellmore, will be hard at work. Families who dine there for lunch or dinner on Monday, September 2, will receive up to two free Kids’ Meals that day with each adult entrée purchased. The free meals are valid for children ages 12 and under, on any Applebee’s “Kids’ Menu” entrée, dine-in only.

Kids can choose one free entrée from the following options: Chicken Tenders, Mini Cheeseburgers, Kraft® Macaroni & Cheese, Grilled Cheese Sandwich or Grilled Chicken Sandwich, a healthful KidsLiveWell™ option. The meal also includes a choice of side dish and soft drink or milk.

“Not only that, with every kids meal ordered in our Long Island restaurants, we bring a healthful appetizer to the table,” says Marc Prince, Director of Operations for Applebee’s. “We serve carrots and celery with dressing as dip. It’s a fun way for kids to enjoy eating healthier.”
