Veterans Day is this Wednesday, November 11, and most of the big restaurant chains are giving veterans and active-duty military a free meal again this year. Here are the highlights. The full Veterans Day freebies list has hours, rules and a location finder for each one.
Free meals on Nov 11
- Denny’s: Original Grand Slam, 5 a.m. to noon, dine-in.
- Applebee’s and Chili’s: a meal from a special Veterans Day menu, dine-in.
- Golden Corral: free dinner from 4 p.m. to close.
- Texas Roadhouse: a meal voucher handed out 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., good until May 31, 2027.
- Outback: Bloomin’ Onion plus a Coke or draft beer, Nov 10 and 11.
- Starbucks: a tall brewed coffee, military spouses included.
Freddy’s, In-N-Out and Hy-Vee are on the full list too.
Free national park entry
Parks that normally charge an entrance fee are free on Nov 11. New this year: the free day covers U.S. citizens and residents only. Camping, tours and parking still cost extra.
Before you go
Bring a military ID, DD-214, VA card or a driver’s license with a veteran designation. Most deals are dine-in only at participating locations, so a quick call to your local restaurant saves a wasted trip.
