Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Applebee's, all locations. Veterans eat for free. Show proof of service and choose from a six-item menu. (An item that the Star Tribune published on page B7 Sunday erroneously reported that guests should call local Applebee's restaurants to make reservations for this offer. Applebee's restaurants don't take reservations.)
