When is Veterans Day 2026?
Veterans Day 2026 is Wednesday, November 11.
On Veterans Day many restaurants give veterans and active-duty service members a free meal or a discount. Most ask for proof of service: a military or VA ID, a DD-214, or a photo of you in uniform. Many deals are dine-in only and only at participating locations.
Deals for the day usually go live a few days before, often only in the restaurant's app or rewards program, and many end at closing that day. They show up on this page as soon as we find them.
