Happy July 4th! It's Independence Day 2018, and a handful of restaurant chains want to help make your holiday celebrations a little more affordable — so they're giving out free food.

The special July 4th freebies this year include deals on pizza, bagel sandwiches, pulled pork subs, and more, from restaurants like Quiznos and Hungry Howie's Pizza. Here's where you can get free food for Independence Day 2018.

Einstein Bros. Bagels

The options include cheesy mac bagels and green chile egg white sandwiches.

Fogo de Chao
