Veterans Day deals: Free meals, special discounts at famous American restaurants
Veterans Day deals: Several restaurants provide complimentary meals or discounts for veterans, including BJ's Restaurants & Brewhouse and Bubbakoo's Burritos.
On Veterans Day, November 11, many American restaurants offer food deals in honor of veterans and active-duty military personnel. Armistice Day, a holiday observed every year on November 11 to commemorate the end of World War I, gave rise to Veterans Day. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, on November 11, 1918, the Allies and Germany signed an armistice deal that called for the end of hostilities on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It became a federal holiday in 1938.
Most Veterans Day offers ask for some type of veteran, military, or military-dependent documentation, such as a Veteran ID Card or DD214 card verifying your length of military service. Many special offers are only available to dine-in visitors.
