Where Can I Git Me Some Free Birthday Food at Restaurants?

Jul 6th, 2011
by Margaret.

free birthday food, free birthday meals, birthday freebies, free meals for birthdayMy cheap-ass dad frugal father and I share the same birthday in July, and we used to hit Denny’s 2 or 3 times on that day because you could squeeze breakfast, lunch AND dinner out of them if you sort of “Denny-hopped”. But then they took that away (or is it back now?) and I probably shouldn’t be Morgan Spurlocking it at Denny’s on my birthday, but we still want to do the free birthday spree.

Free Birthday Food List

So, I want to produce a Free Food On Your Birthday reference list. Not just for me, but for the whole world to share. But mostly for me.

It will be a list of restaurants that give you free food. On your birthday. And I want your help. I’m going to start a list and just keep it right here for our reference and I want you to help me add to it by telling me what you know in the comment section. Once verified (which primarily consists of me taking your word for it, especially if someone else mentions it as well) it will be added to the list.

Are you ready? Let’s go!

The Free Food on your Birthday List

(in alphabetical order by restaurant name)

The list so far…

Benihana - $30 gift certificate if you sign up for the Chef’s Table. (can be used anytime during your birthday month)

Cave and Mine Adventures - Part of the Sierra Nevada Recreation Corporation. This is less of a food item and more of an activity. Choose from a list of several activities, such a zip line tour or cave or mine tour. No sign-up required. Here’s a list of different free birthday activites.

Chili’s - Sign up for Chili’s email program and you can have a free brownie sundae with the purchase of an entree.

  • Melanie Andrews

    I’ll go 2nd since my b-day happens to be in the same month. http://www.benihana.com/
    chef’s club gives a $30 gift certificate in your birthday month, but not necessarily on your birthday. I signed up for it just now and the Papa Murphy one, too.

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    I already signed up for the Papa Murphy one, too, and now I’m going to check out the Benihana one. $30 is a lot!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    I actually stumbled on that one earlier too. But I already started this, so maybe I can make my list more user friendly, if it exceeds a count of 10 restaurants anyway. If I pull out my own cobwebbed programming skillz, maybe I can make it a slick little index. With filters and sorting and such. Or take it international or something. :)

    It’s not 100 % free but if you join Qdobas club, you can get buy one get one free. Seeing how those burritos are like 8 bucks a pop, thats not a bad deal

  • MsChick74

    IHOP! You get a free Rooty Tooty Fresh n Fruity (or other meal of equal value) if you sign up for their email club thingy.

  • Teri C

    If you join the club on Coldstone online you get a free ice cream.

  • MsChick74

    I don’t know when my birthday is…::sniff::
    But most places don’t allow goats anyway.

    The publicist says if you come visit the two of you could celebrate being old together and she would give you free food. And you could pet ME!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Is this just on your birthday? Or do they offer this deal all the time? And yeah, an 8 buck burrito sounds like a monster!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    a free Rooty Tooty Fresh n Fruity????? Sign me up!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Ice cream! Yummy! Sign me up for that too!

    John’s Incredible Pizza? Cool rides? Where is this magical sounding place?

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Original/Mr. Perry’s? I haven’t been there in ….. well, at least a year. But there were extenuating circumstances. Before that, I don’t think I’d been there since high school!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    See? Now there’s just yet one more thing this world should be providing. Free birthday meals for goats. With the growing popularity of your kind, it’s just a matter of time, Pricilla. How’s this? The International House of Hay.

  • Mind of a Madman

    This is genius… seriously! I have been wanting to know this forever. I think you can add Jeffrey Dahmers Homestyle BBQ Hut as free on your birthday…. though the reviews are very very mixed!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Yikes!

    There’s just the one location, though, right? ;)

  • http://drew.mykitchentable.net Drew

    Big arcade and a few children’s rides including a roller coaster. The closest to Sacramento is the one in Roseville near N. Sunrise and Eureka Rd. Here’s their locations:

    Happy Birthday Honey. I went to Pican in Oakland last year and the owner Michael sent over a bottle of French Champagne when he found out it was my birthday. He’s a delight!

  • http://fragrantliar.blogspot.com Fragrant Liar

    Yay! Just in time. My B-day is September 29, so I’ll round up all the free stuff. Keep the list growing!

  • Slommler

    I haven’t been to a Benihana’s in years but now I’m tempted….

    Thanks for the tip. xo jj

  • Melanie Andrews

    Found another one for the outdoor people: http://caverntours.com/free-birthdays.htm

    I won’t be able to do these on my birthday as required; but maybe some others will.

  • http://mommamiameaculpa.com meleahrebeccah

    Oh snap… when is your birthday this month??

  • Cuzzin Laura

    Ok, since I am a dork and can’t figure out how to post on your blog,
    here it is. Colleen and I added ourselves to quite a few lists for our
    own birthdays.

    Chevy’s, a free entree of any price on your birthday. This is the bestest one!

    Red Robin, free burger on your birthday. This is good two since the burgers are pricey.

    IHOP, a free something on your birthday

    Black Angus used to give you a free steak, but there is only one left, is it on Greenback maybe, take a look at their site

    Ok, that is all I got. Colleen found more so she can mail you. Good luck on the free foods!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Thanks, Linda!

    (Note to self: go to Pican in Oakland and let it be known that it’s my special day.)

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    I’m hoping to turn this into a real reference list for the web for people to come back to. And Happy really early birthday!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Mmmmm, brownie sundae…
    I’m on it!
    Thanks, SueAnn!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    I can’t get over that they give $30 of food.

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    That reminds me, I suppose I should add the one about getting a free stein at the Heineken brewery in Amsterdam.

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    July 16th. Is yours in July too? Did we already talk about this.

  • http://injaynesworld.blogspot.com/ Jayne

    “Free” and “Food.” My favorite word combination.

  • http://mommamiameaculpa.com meleahrebeccah

    I’m in October. So…now, we have NOT discussed this!

    *notes Margaret’s BDAY on personal calendar. *

  • Julie E.

    Did anyone say Red Robin yet? I think that’s my favorite!

  • Bobbi

    Oooh, I love me some Ihop and my birthday is in a month so I’m going there!

  • http://slightlysarcastic.net Sheila

    Hooters will give you a free gift on your birthday, but that kind of scares me.

    You’re supposed to hit up your family and friends for free meals on your b-day. Start sending out subtle tweets a couple days ahead - maybe you’ll get lucky.

  • http://www.wetookthebait.com Jeremy from We Took The Bait

    Hooters would give me a free gift on my birthday? You mean in addition to the gift of having scantily clad servers bring me chicken wings and mozzarella sticks? Sounds almost too good to be true.

    I don’t know about Birthdays but if you wear your cap and gown from graduation Chipotle will give your a free burrito. My son wore his cap and gown for a week and went to every Chipotle in the metro area. His sister even donned her cap and gown from graduation from pre kindergarten and got a couple.
