All the Restaurants Where Veterans and Active Military Eat Free for Memorial Day 2019

Happy Memorial Day 2019!

Restaurants around the country are celebrating members of our armed forces by giving them free food and special discounts today for Memorial Day: Monday, May 27.

Flash valid military ID demonstrating you are a veteran or active-duty military, and you'll eat free at restaurants like Hooters, McCormick and Schmick's, 99 Restaurants, and Twin Peaks. In many cases, the purchase of a drink or another meal is required in order to get a free entrée or other deals.
