There are plenty of chain restaurant offerings, from nachos to wings, for hungry consumers
in November 2018 especially if you're a veteran of the armed forces.
But you don't have to have served in order to get some cheap service, with Buy-One-Get-One
offers being perfect for when you're out and about with a friend.
Here are the best deals of the month.
If you haven't been to Cracker Barrel for a while, November 11th is the perfect time
to go back especially if you or someone in your family is a military veteran or on active
duty.
For Veterans Day, Cracker Barrel is saying "thank you" in the form of a free slice of
Double Chocolate Fudge Coca-Cola Cake.
It's not a full meal like other places are offering, but it's still a pretty decadent
dessert to get for nothing.
But if you're interested in a full course instead of just cake, keep watching.
Applebee's is honoring veterans and active duty members of the military with their own
generous special, offering eight different full-sized entrees for free to service members
on November 11th.
Those outside the military can also get in on the chain's November drink special, and
refresh themselves with some $2, 10-oz drafts of Bud Light.
Still not full?
Texas Roadhouse is treating veterans and active duty military personnel to a free lunch on
November 11th.
And there are a ton of options to choose from, whether you want a platter of steak, chicken,
pork, or barbecue.
From the start of November to the end of the year, the chain is also donating 10 percent
of every gift card purchase to the Support Our Heroes foundation, which helps provide
injured veterans with accommodations they may need to lead full, independent lives when
their tours of duty are through.
If you're in the mood for an ice cream sundae, make a note: Wednesday is Buy-One, Get-One-Free
day at Carvel.
Best of all, this offer isn't just for the month of November.
Instead, it's an ongoing promotion, so that you and a friend — or just you — can make
a habit out of it.
It may be getting cold soon, sure — but ice cream always hits the spot, especially
when it's free.
Primanti Bros. has some devoted fans in the world of sandwiches, and vets can get in on
the action with a free sub if they dine in on November 11th — no purchase necessary,
no strings attached.
The chain also has an app you can download, which offers up a free sandwich with a drink
purchase to new users.
After that, it'll keep you updated on all the chain's new offers, including plenty of
free food to go around during football season.
There are a ton of restaurants that offer special deals only through their apps, and
McDonald's is no exception.
For the entire month of November, you can get one McCafe beverage free with a purchase
of five an ideal offer for group orders.
If that sounds like too many drinks to deal with on your own, they've got something else
worth trying, too.
If you buy one medium or large McCafe drink during the month, you can get another on top
for just one penny.
But it's not just drinks on offer at the Golden Arches.
Until November 30th, they're also offering a Buy-One, Get-One-for-$1 deal on almost all
of their sandwiches, as well as a similar offer for Crispy Chicken Tenders and McNuggets
that ends on November 25th.
If you love their fries, you can get a medium or a large order and walk away with a free
soft drink of any size to go along with it until the end of December.
On November 11th, Red Robin is giving all vets and active military members a free Red's
Tavern Double Burger with Bottomless Steak Fries, no other purchase required.
That's great for one day out of the year, but there are also other rewards in the pipeline
for not just military members, but teachers, too.
Sign up for their Royalty program to score a free burger during your birthday month,
and also get free food on every 10th order you make.
Veterans and teachers get even more rewards with the program than the average customer,
being gifted random freebies and rewards throughout the year.
Chili's has a year-round commitment to working with organizations that help veterans and
their families.
On November 11th, they'll offer any veteran their choice of one of seven entrees for free.
The chain also has its own rewards program, and you'll be eligible for a free order of
chips and salsa or a non-alcoholic drink every time you stop in, as long as you go there
once every 60 days.
You'll also get a free dessert on your birthday.
Many restaurants offer free food to vets on Veterans Day, but Famous Dave's is going one
step further, making their free meals available on both the 11th and the 12th.
You can also sign up for their email club, joining the Famous Nation for occasional offers
and free stuff on your birthday.
Even if you're not a NASCAR fan, Outback Steakhouse is giving you a reason to keep an eye on the
race results.
Outback is one of the sponsors for driver Kevin Harvick, and every time he places in
the Top 10, they're giving customers a free Bloomin' Onion on the following Monday.
Fortunately, Harvick is pretty good at racing, and he's out there on the track keeping the
appetizers coming whether Outback likes it or not.
But you won't get to take advantage of this deal forever — the NASCAR season ends on
November 18, so keep your fingers crossed for a big win.
Hooters also has their own NASCAR promotion, with their champion being racer Chase Elliott.
Any time he places in the top 10, customers can get a free order of fried pickles.
When he wins, customers will get their orders of 10 boneless wings doubled up to 20, with
the extra wings coming free of charge.
The promotion ends with the end of the NASCAR season on November 18, but don't fret if you
miss it — it'll be back for another lap soon enough.
