Veterans Day Freebies 2015: Full List Of Restaurants Giving Away Free Meals On Nov. 11

In honor of Veterans Day 2015, several restaurants chains nationwide will be paying tribute to active and retired members of the U.S. armed forces by gifting them free meals. Keep in mind, almost all of the businesses listed below require that proper identification (such as a military ID) is provided in order to participate in the following offers.

Here's a list of where to get your freebies on Wednesday, Nov. 11:

• California Pizza Kitchen -- Snag a free entrée at participating California Pizza Kitchen locations. The 14 meal choices will be included as part of a special Veterans Day menu. A few of the items that will be available include the chain's original BBQ chicken pizza, a full-size Thai Crunch salad and Kung Pao spaghetti with chicken. The offer is valid for dine-in customers only. (Note: airport locations, stadiums, international locations and the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas are not participating in this promotion.)

• Red Robin -- If you’re in the mood for a burger, head to Red Robin. The chain is giving away free Red’s Tavern Double Burger and Bottomless Steak Fries at its restaurants.

• Outback Steakhouse -- Enjoy a free Bloomin’ Onion appetizer and drink at participating Outback Steakhouse locations. If you’re unable to get your freebie this Veterans Day, don’t fret!
