How does a free treat from your favorite local restaurant sound? Well, if it’s your birthday, you’re in luck. A ton of places on the location list below are giving away small surprises. Drinks, appetizers, desserts, you name it. Just show proof that it’s actually your birthday, then, indulge.
A&W
Have you ever had a root beer float? Well, well, well, if you haven’t, you need to head over to A&W. This restaurant’s birthday freebie is its traditional, in-house made root beer topped with creamy vanilla soft serve ice cream. Flavorful and delicious, right up to the last sip.
Starbucks
Are you a Starby’s gal or a Dunkin’ chick? If you chose the former over the latter, today’s your lucky day. Open up the Starbucks app and make sure you’re a rewards member. If you are, let them know at checkout and you’ll automatically be given a free foot item or beverage of your choice.
The Cheesecake Factory
A slice of cheesecake to go with your birthday? We think so. If you’re signed up with The Cheesecake Factory’s rewards program, you’ll get a free slice on your bday, all to yourself. No sharing, no caring…today.
IHOP
Start your birthday morning off right by hitting up IHOP. A free stack of birthday pancakes is waiting for you, just around the corner. All you have to do is join the “International Bank of Pancakes,” and you’re golden.
Olive Garden
Do endless soup, salad, and breadsticks sound like your favorite birthday lunch? If so, head on over to Olive Garden with some friends or family members and chow down. While you’re there, get on the restaurant’s email list, tell your server it’s your birthday, and you’ll automatically get a coupon for a dessert of your choice.
Buffalo Wild Wings
If you’re a wing fanatic like we are, this offer will totally draw you in. Did you know that Buffalo Wild Wings gives an entire six free wings to anyone celebrating a birthday? Just sign up for their Blazin’ Rewards program, pick your flavor, and enjoy every bite.
Red Lobster
If you’re a seafood lover, it’s time to get your lobster on at Red Lobster. All birthday gals and guys are welcomed to come on down if they’re Fresh Catch Clubbers. Just beware, your birthday freebie will be chosen at random. You could get a whole meal, or just a side of biscuits. The choice will be made at checkout.
Crumbl Cookies
Let’s bring it back to the desserts: Crumbl is handing out a free cookie for your birthday as long as you sign up with their in-house loyalty program. You get to pick the cookie out yourself!
Edible Arrangements
One more dessert and that’s a wrap! Edible Arrangements will make you feel like it’s Valentine’s Day all over again. As long as you’re a part of their rewards program, you’ll get a free 12-count box of chocolate-dipped fruits. Doesn’t that sound extremely delicious?
