Thank you for your service.

That’s the message restaurants across the country are serving up on Veterans Day this year.

On Monday, Nov. 11 and in some cases beyond, popular chains from coast to coast are offering irresistible deals and free meals to our fierce defenders of freedom, as a small token of appreciation.

From morning coffee and donuts to on-the-fly lunches and even sit-down dinners, meals and treats are on the house for members of the military, everywhere you look.

Here, we’ve selected some of the best offerings for this year.

Enjoy, and again — thank you.
