62 Restaurants With Military Discounts in 2022 (+ Veterans Day Details) - Operation Military Kids (2023)

If you've visited our site recently, you've probably noticed that we've done a lot of research on military discounts.

OMK contacted 138 of the largest US chain restaurants to find out if they had a military discount.

The criteria we used to filter these restaurants was whether they had at least 100 locations across the country or were well known.

The list below is current as of June 2019 and will be updated approximately every few months.

To use:What is a "valid military ID"?

Some of the most common valid military IDs accepted at these restaurants include:

• uniform service card
• Common Access Card (CAC)
• dependent identity card

Some of these restaurants accept other types of military ID for the military discount, such as: B. DD214 or Department of Defense Form 2.

But you can't just show up with a picture of yourself in your navy blue and expect that to count 🙂
