One of the most common promotions that eating establishments do is offer something free to people who are having a birthday. The following is a list of places where you can get free food of some kind on your birthday, but it is by no means exhaustive. If you have a favorite restaurant that isn’t listed here, it still may very well give a birthday special. The best approach is to call and ask what, if any, special they give people on their birthday. If you see a birthday freebie from the list below, be sure to call and confirm that the restaurant near you offers that particular birthday special. Not all restaurants participate in these birthday promotions or they may give something else for birthdays.
