Veterans Day: 25 Restaurants Offering Free or Discounted Meals in PA - Page 18

Veterans Day is Tuesday, November 11, and several restaurants across Pennsylvania are showing appreciation with free or discounted meals for those who served.

From classic diners to national chains, veterans and active-duty military members can enjoy everything from breakfast deals to full entrées at participating locations.

Most offers are dine-in only and require a valid military ID or proof of service. Whether you’re craving a burger, a steak, or a cup of coffee, these deals are a small way for local businesses to say “thank you” to those who’ve worn the uniform.
