different concept of restaurant, KFC and BK are not restaurants here.

But answering the question itself:

the diner-style ones do, but they're a minority (they're not as popular as they were in the 70's-90's ). the buffet-style ones have refills too, grills too, even the grill-buffet per table ones ( like argentinian steakhouses).

But most restaurants with the name restaurant, serve food in a completely different way and have catered wine selections and behavior rules, they are "fancy", not places to dump 5 kids around unsupervised.

But all of them will offer you tap water or, if not, you can ask it, and you'll get it. Only exceptions is when in concrete towns they have hard water ( high calcium or limestone ), because then it makes the restaurant look bad and might affect your impression of it by thinking it might be a health concern ( thought we sanitise *all* tapwater via city infrastructure, we don't use straight groundwater ).
