It’s Veterans Day. These restaurants are offering specials and deals to honor our veterans.

Veterans Day is here. How do we adequately thank our veterans for the gifts they’ve given us? There’s really no gesture that can match the safety, security, and freedom we enjoy as a result of their sacrifice… But that shouldn’t keep us from trying! 

Each year on Veteran’s Day, many local restaurants salute our nation’s heroes with honorary Veterans Day specials and freebies! We’ve pulled together a list of them to be sure no one misses out.

Spread the word, and consider picking up your favorite veteran or active military service member to be sure they get to take advantage of one or more of these Veterans Day deals! (Tip: don’t forget to bring a military ID!)
