Veterans Day Wichita Restaurants Deals

Wichita Veterans Day Restaurant Deals

Some things to keep in mind as you go through this list of special Veterans Day meals and other deals:

Most of these specials apply to active duty or veteran military personnel only on Veterans Day and won’t apply to spouses.
Several of these restaurants offer an ongoing military discount to active duty personnel, veterans and their spouses so you can extend the savings on other days.
Nearly all special deals require some sort of proof of service; generally, a valid military ID is that proof.
Most restaurants on the list are national chains, so some specials or even menu options may vary with specific or individual locations. Be sure to confirm any special with the location you plan to visit.
Some places are collecting donations for select organizations that serve military personnel, vets and/or family members. The donations can be provided by any guest.

Applebee’s in Wichita, Andover, Hutchinson and other surrounding communities are once again honoring veterans with a FREE meal from a special menu on November 11.

The Applebee’s store managers weren’t sure if they were still giving a $5 ‘bounce back’ card good toward your next meal so if they do this year it will be an extra bonas.

I confirmed this for Wichita and wrote more about this awesome deal here.
