Finally, Famous Dave’s Barbeque Restaurants is offering a free One Meat Salute. Veterans can choose one meat, a corn muffin, and a side. Proof of service is required.
More deals can be found here, but don’t be afraid to ask a restaurant if they are offering any Veterans Day discounts or specials. Remember, that in most cases, beverages are not part of any promotional meals and in no case is gratuity included. So don’t forget to tip your server/waiter based on the normal everyday price of the meal.
