The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Program is a government initiative aimed at improving the nutritional status, health, and learning quality of schoolchildren. Differences in the characteristics of rural and urban areas are thought to influence children’s satisfaction with the MBG menu. This study aimed to analyze differences in elementary school students’ satisfaction with the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) menu in rural and urban areas. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of fifth grade students who received the MBG program in rural and urban areas of Pemalang Regency. The sample was selected using purposive sampling with the Slovin formula, resulting in 40 respondents from each rural and urban area, for a total of 80 respondents. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using an Independent Sample T Test. The results showed that satisfaction with the MBG menu was predominantly categorized as moderately satisfied. Respondents in urban areas gave higher ratings, particularly for menu variety, taste, aroma, texture, and food doneness. The Independent Sample T Test showed a significant difference in satisfaction levels between the two areas (p = 0.001), with the mean satisfaction score in urban areas at 73.52 ± 7.103 and in rural areas at 67.97 ± 7.921. Students’ satisfaction with the MBG menu was higher in urban areas than in rural areas. Improving the quality of MBG menus in rural areas is necessary to increase student satisfaction.
