Eating out is notorious for taking a huge chunk out of any travelers budget, but there are ways families can take some of that pie and put it towards something more meaningful than just dinner. Many restaurants offer kids-eat-free promotions, usually with the purchase of an adult entre, and are really worth the effort to seek out. Pizza is always a family favorite so here are three local places unique to Colorado.
Beau Jos Colorado Style Pizza
The flagship location for this local favorite is in Idaho Springs (west of Denver, along I-70) but unfortunately does not offer a kids-eat-free deal. Fortunately, there are several Denver Metro locations where you can get the same mountain pizza they serve in the hills. Check out the website and look on the location tab to find the closest spot to you at beaujos.com. They are in Denver, Boulder, Arvada, Evergreen, and Ft. Collins. Conveniently, the website lists each locations specials and family nights. The days and times vary by location so call or check the website before you go. If you are curious about mountain pizza just bring your appetite, they sell pizza by the pound! They also offer a large salad bar for those who like to graze. The kids-eat-free deal is for those babies under 12, ordering off the kids menu and allows two kids meals per adult entre, i.e.: one pizza for mom and dad allows two kids dinners. The magic man and balloon twister, who is there on family nights, make this spot extra fun for younger kids. You can call the Denver location at 303-758-1519.
Woodys Woodfired Tavern
The draw for this restaurant is the pizza buffet. It includes a big salad bar and all-you-can-eat beer cheese soup. However, you can order salads and sandwiches, or a single pizza from the menu. There are three locations in Arvada, Ft. Collins and Denver and they offer the kids free meal (with a paying adult) on Wednesday nights. This is a very casual place, they have big TVs and it is great if you have a big group as you dont have to wait long to start eating. There are many families here so this place can take the stress out of shhhing the kids. The beer is also cheap here which never hurts to help mom or dad either. Check out the website at woodyswoodfiredtavern.com or call the Denver location at 303-757-4200.
Lil Riccis Pizza
This is kinda an old school, New York deli place, if ya know what I mean. They offer antipasta plates, hero sandwiches, and big, flat New York pizza. There are three locations in Golden, Highlands Ranch, and Parker. The free kids meal is offered on Tuesday nights after 4 p.m. and is one free kids meal per paying adult. "The key to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our heads. Arranging and consuming our travel budget correctly is a concern for most families. Minimizing consuming and costs, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while touring is simple: Even if your personal funds is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, no matter whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!..". You can see the menu at their website lilriccispizza.com or call the Golden location at 303-215-1618.
Finding restaurants that offer early-evening or late-night specials are also a great way to get more for your money. Also, dont be shy to use coupons. Just looking in the morning paper of the local place you are visiting may give you a chance to try a local restaurant, for what the locals pay, which may eat up less of your travel budget.
