Tips Before Heading Out to Claim Your Free Veterans Day Meal or Discount

  • Review the official site information and rules before heading out for a free Veterans Day meal or military discount. While we source our entries from official information, some businesses may accidentally list a prior year’s promotion.
  • Be sure to bring proof of military service, such as a military ID card or a DD-214. Keep in mind, acceptable documentation may vary between companies.
  • Pay attention to the dates on the Veterans Day offer as some offers may apply to Veterans Day, the entire weekend or another day.
  • Free Veterans Day meals offers are dine-in only for most restaurants.
  • Some restaurants and retailers may offer deals to veterans, active-duty, National Guard and reserve service members. Some may also extend the offer to military family members. Verify your eligibility for each offer.
  • Tip your servers on Veterans Day. While your meal may be free, their bills are not. Servers work hard during busy Veterans Day promotions. Consider tipping the original cost of the meal, if you’re in a position to do so.
  • Deals for restaurants and retailers with franchise locations may only be available at participating locations. Individual franchisees may dictate their own discount polices, including military discounts and Veterans Day deals.

Thank you for your service!
