--Red Robin: FREE cake or dessert sunday --Denny's: FREE MEAL + FREE DRINK + FREE DESSERT (Order VERY expensive and go for breakfast AND DINNER) [Offer not available at all Denny's] ----SPECIAL trick @ Denny's: Bring your kids on your Tuesday birthday = you eat free & kids eat free too! --Alfy's Pizza: FREE mini pizza (just show up and show your ID). I once went to 5 Alfy's in one night on the way home, showed each my ID, and came home with 5 mini pizza's. Yum! --Car Wash: Captain Dizzy's in your area? Show ID and get a free car wash --Food Pavilion grocery store: FREE movie rental --Safeway grocery store: FREE movie rental --Baskin Robbins: FREE ice cream treat --Some tanning places: FREE tan on your birthday
I know we said restaurants, but I know of so many that I just HAD to share! Merry Christmas all!
Hmmm... it seems Dennys lied to me. I called 5 locations around So Cal and they told me the free meal for birthdays was discontinued by the corporate. I remembered when I was a kid, we had it. Anyways, here's some more that I found out by calling:
Marie Calenders: Free Dessert Bobs Big Boy: Free Hot Fudge Ice Cream Carrows: Free Birthday Cake Home Town Buffet: Free Birthday Cake
Does anyone know about Norms? I know places that give free meals are harder and harder to find. This is a good thread. Thanks!!
Today is my birthday...was thinking about going to Todai...but I ate too much yesterday, I don't think I could handle a buffet. Denny's was looking good til that post about it being discontinued. Oh well
