30 + Restaurants Offering Free or Discounted Meals On Veterans Day

By Lisa Hamilton November 5, 2019

Veteran's Day is almost here and so many places are doing something to show their appreciation for the huge sacrifice that not only our active-duty military has but the retired military members as well. We have such a huge presence of the military in our community being so close to Camp Lejeune so be sure to say "Thank You" to the members of the military on Veteran's Day Monday, November 11th and throughout the year. 


The restaurants listed below may have specific hours for the free meal or discounts so it may be a good idea to contact them ahead of time to confirm the details. In order to qualify for any of these discounts, you MUST bring your valid Military ID with you to the restaurant.
