Vets Dine Free At Applebee's On Thursday

Last year Applebee’s served over a million free meals to American service personnel on Veteran’s Day. And this year they’re ready to do it again, offering up a free entrée to all veterans and active duty military who come in on Thursday, November 11. They’ll dine from a special “Vet’s Day Menu,” including bacon cheeseburgers, Fiesta Lime Chicken and Double Crunch Shrimp. We love this deal, as well as they’re slogan—that they’re “proud to serve those who serve us.”

You will, of course, need to provide verification of service, through one of the following methods: U.S. Uniform Services Identification Card, U.S. Uniform Services Retired Identification Card, Current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), Photograph in uniform, Wearing uniform, Veterans Organization Card or DD214.

The deal’s only available at participating Applebee’s, so as always we recommend calling to be sure that your location is participating. And the freebie is available for dine-in customers only ordering from the special menu. Beverages and gratuity are not included.
