2014 Veterans Day Restaurant Freebies: Restaurants Dish Out Free Meals To Honor Military

Searching for a list of 2014 Veterans Day restaurant freebies and discounts? Veterans and active U.S. military are in for a treat on Tuesday, November 11 when many chain restaurants nationwide will offer a free meal or appetizer to honor men and women who are currently serving or have served our country in the past. (See a list of restaurants below.)

Military Wallet states that free or discounted Veterans Day food offers will be available at more than 50 restaurants across the United States including Applebee’s, Chili’s, Golden Corral, Olive Garden, Denny’s, Texas Roadhouse, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster and Red Robin.

Most offers are valid only on Veterans Day, but there are several restaurant freebies that will be offered during the weekend prior to the November 11 holiday. Expect long lines at popular restaurants like Applebee’s, Olive Garden and Red Robin. Every year, these three restaurants offer an entire meal for free on Veterans Day, and there is often a long wait for military members and their families to get seated.
