Tons of Restaurants that Give a Military Discount

Veterans, what is your favorite restaurant to eat at? More importantly, did it make the list for restaurants that give a military discount? I researched and found dozens of fast-food and sit down restaurants across the country that give you a discount!

First, some things to keep in mind.

Many restaurants that give a military discount don’t advertise these discounts. You’ll need to ask for them. They also vary by location, so make sure to call ahead to find out what is available at your local restaurant.

It is important to realize that some deals are for active duty or veterans only, while others are for both. Active duty only deals are in green, veterans only deals are in red, and both are in black.

It is also important to note that these benefits are generally for restaurants off base, not on base. However, on base you are not required to pay sales tax.
