Restaurants across the country are showing support and gratitude to veterans and active duty military members this week by offering a variety of freebies and discounts in honor of Veterans Day. The deals range from free meals to discounts on their next visit, providing a way to express appreciation for those who have served. With offers from chain restaurants like Applebee’s, Dunkin’, and IHOP, this year’s Veterans Day has plenty of delicious deals that you won’t want to miss.
Applebee’s is celebrating the holiday by providing active duty military, veterans, and reserves/National Guard members with a free full-size entrée when dining in-restaurant. In addition to this free meal, beneficiaries also receive a $5 Bounce Back Card to use on their next dine-in, to-go, or delivery order within a three-week period. Other restaurants participating in this initiative include big names like Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Denny’s, offering free sandwiches, wings, and meals to military members and veterans this Veterans Day. With a variety of options ranging from pizzas to pancakes to burgers, these participating restaurants are allowing veterans and active duty personnel to enjoy a free meal on this important holiday.
This act of gratitude for those who have served is not limited to just one day, as some restaurants also offer year-long deals or discounts for members of the military. For example, Casey’s will provide veterans with free coffee or fountain drinks all year long, while Lions’ Choice and BurgerFi offer 20% off all orders at any time. In addition to free or discounted items, some restaurants host special Veterans Day menus catering to military members at specific times throughout the day. Through these simple, yet meaningful gestures, restaurants aim to show appreciation and respect for those who have dedicated their lives to serving the country.
