It's easy to find Valentine's Day restaurant deals today: Dozens of big chains, like Chili's, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Chick-fil-A, Baskin-Robbins, Ninety Nine Restaurants, and California Pizza Kitchen, have special Valentine's menus and discount promotions valid on February 14, 2019.

But only a very special kind of Valentine's Day 2019 deal features free food. Granted, most Valentine's "freebies" require you to buy something off the menu — but, hey, we're suckers for Valentine's Day deals that include free stuff.
